How to post your job to Austrian job sites
Now you know a bit more about the best job portals in Österreich, it’s time to look at the actual job posting itself.
Of course, it’s possible to create a profile on each site and write your great job ad manually. However, the smart way to do it is to save time and effort with a recruitment tool like JOIN!
Using JOIN, you can write just one job ad for your open role, and then post it across all the above-mentioned Austrian job boards with just one click. And as soon as you start receiving applicants, they will all be collected in one central place.
Multiposting your job ad like that will not only increase your visibility, but it will help to reach a more diverse selection of candidates, as you won’t be counting on the visitors from just one site.
