Short answer: hire where the local people already are. A community hub sends you applicants who live here, can get to the site, and already know your name, which is exactly where national boards are weakest.

National boards optimise for volume, not fit. You pay per posting, then sort through applications from people who will not relocate for a shift-based role. For hourly and locally-bound roles, that volume is a cost, not a benefit.

Local candidates stay longer. The single biggest predictor of early turnover in hourly roles is commute. Someone who lives fifteen minutes away and already shops with you is a fundamentally better hire.

Your listing is already a recruiting page. Candidates look you up before applying. A complete listing with photos, real reviews and a sense of the place does recruiting work before anyone reads the job description.

Say the things people actually filter on. Pay range, shift pattern, location, whether it is weekends. Vagueness costs you applicants.

Where the plans fit. Employers usually sit on Professional Services, which suits businesses hiring regularly. Multi-site employers take Corporate, and the largest employers in the 904 take Enterprise. See current plan prices.

A note on our jobs section: the Gigs board is currently switched off while we rebuild it. Your listing still works as a hiring page today, and we will let listed businesses know the moment it is back.
