Helping you find job boards that fit your sector, audience, and hiring needs.
Following job boards since 2009
Jobs Portal Watch launched in 2009 as a news site for the job board industry, covering the businesses and developments shaping online recruitment.
In 2024, the site was relaunched as a job board directory. Its purpose evolved to help employers navigate the many job boards available and find the ones best suited to their hiring needs.
Making sense of the choice
With so many job boards to choose from, deciding where to post a role can be a task in itself. Different sites serve different professions, sectors, and locations. The right choice depends on who you need to reach.
We bring those options together in one place, helping employers explore by sector, understand a job board’s audience, and build a relevant shortlist.
Selected with employers in mind
Our directory is shaped by editorial selection. We only include job boards we consider trustworthy and relevant to employers, with the aim of helping you make an informed hiring decision.
Where reliable information is available, we verify traffic data and analyze job posting prices to help you assess a job board’s reach and cost. When we cannot verify that information, we make the limitation clear.
Featured or sponsored placements are clearly identified, so you can distinguish a promotion from our editorial selection and understand why a job board is being highlighted.
Our focus today
Jobs Portal Watch is built for employers. Today, we help you find job boards that fit the roles you are hiring for. Our directory and practical guides support that decision, from discovering a specialist site to understanding how it could fit into your recruitment plan.
Our aim is simple: make the job board landscape easier to understand, so you can choose where to hire with more confidence.
