Where can I post a job for free
Quick answer
In the UK, GOV.UK Find a Job offers free posting; CorporateJob offers paid Standard and Premium bookings. Indeed also offers eligible free postings under current monthly and visibility limits. Always verify live terms.
Three practical starting points
CorporateJob: paid Standard and Premium advert bookings; see current pricing. Find a Job: the government’s free employer vacancy service. Indeed: currently up to three eligible free direct posts per calendar month in the UK, visible for up to 30 days, subject to quality and usage rules.
Choose by hiring need
Use location-led channels for local shifts, specialist boards for scarce qualifications and broad boards for recognisable job titles. If a free source produces irrelevant applications, first check the job title, salary and essential criteria. Poor matching is often an advert problem rather than an audience problem.
Keep one source of truth
Maintain a master vacancy record with approved wording, salary, location, closing date and application URL. Publish consistent copies, track their source and close all of them together. That protects candidates and prevents an old version from competing with the current one.

Questions about where can i post a job for free
Where can a UK charity post a job free?
The same free routes can be used by eligible charities; a sector-specific channel may be worth adding when mission or specialist experience matters.
Can I advertise a remote job for free?
Yes where the platform accepts it, but state the eligible countries, required working hours and whether any office attendance is expected.
