Jobicy
Post a remote role for a flat fee
Jobicy is a remote job board where a listing is bought once rather than subscribed to, which suits a creator hiring an editor twice a year rather than a company hiring continuously. The posting form asks for what a candidate needs and sends applications to an email address or an external page. A dearer tier buys distribution and priority placement rather than a different listing. Anybody hiring monthly will find a subscription board cheaper.
Our note
Post the basic listing first and buy the boost only if a week produces nothing, since $100 for reach is worth paying against a stalled search and wasted on a role that fills on its own. Write the description properly before either, because distribution cannot rescue a posting nobody wants to answer.
Wellfound
Startup job posts, free to publish
Wellfound, which spent a decade as AngelList Talent, is where startups hire and where people who want to work at one look. Posting is free and unlimited, with a built-in applicant tracker, and the money is in promotion and sourcing. For a creator business hiring its first editor or assistant, the free half is usually the whole of what is needed.
