Shine.com

Shine's recruiter home page offers startups and SMEs a "Post a Job for Free*" route. The page does not explain the asterisk, publish a post limit or give registration steps, so the allowance is free posting with limits not stated publicly. [2]

Good for: startups and SMEs. Check before you post: the terms attached to the asterisk and any account checks in the posting flow. [2]

Indeed India

Indeed says there is no exact limit to the number of free jobs, although free posts may have visibility limits by job type, location or account history. They generally stay active for up to 30 days or until a performance threshold, and Indeed says employers can post internships free subject to its terms.

There is no passive-candidate or search-page access. A help article updated on 25 March 2022 says sign-in with LinkedIn is mandatory, then a corporate email, an emailed link, a phone OTP and an account review. Confirm that flow still applies. [16] [27]

Wellfound calls its Job Posts tier $0 forever and says it includes unlimited jobs, unlimited applicants and a built-in ATS. It serves startups hiring locally or globally, and its listing pages include internships. Create a personal and company profile with a company website and logo; the first job goes through moderation. The pricing page says no credit card is required. [17] [28] [39] [43]

Good for: startup roles, including local or global hiring. Check before you post: the company profile needs a website and logo, the first job is moderated, and older help articles ask for compensation. The current post-a-job page does not say compensation is mandatory. Promotion is optional and paid. [17] [28] [44] [45]

Government portals

National Career Service

National Career Service is the Ministry of Labour & Employment's general portal for employers and jobseekers. It says its services are free of cost and that it does not charge at any stage of registration or other employment-related services. Employers register online, then use the employer area to post new jobs and find candidates; the pages read do not state a vacancy limit or free listing duration. [13]

Free international boards

PostJobFree.com

PostJobFree.com serves jobs worldwide, primarily in the United States, and its posting form accepts a country. It is free to post: a new user starts with 10 posts a day. The limit can be as low as 1 a day on a shared network, and it can rise. There is no separate sign-up step, and the site says an account is created after you post. [18] [19] [29]

Good for: international posting, including India. Check before you post: the daily limit and the request to renew an active opening at least every 30 days. [19] [41]

Jooble India

Jooble India's employer page includes one free job, and its free-plan guidance says employers can post one job at a time at no cost. The listing stays live for 7 days and needs manual reactivation, with no stated cap on applications. Register with company details and an email-link confirmation; Jooble reviews the company and job, and may ask for further documents. [20] [21] [30]

Good for: general hiring with a single free vacancy. Check before you post: Jooble says free vacancies are left out of job alerts, have lower search visibility, and get no newsletters or other promotional tools. The free-plan article says the listing stays live for 7 days and then needs manual reactivation. The India page does not state that duration. [20] [21]

Often listed as free, but paid

Glassdoor: Indeed's guide says that to post a job on Glassdoor you are routed to Indeed, and that organic jobs are listed on Glassdoor at no cost. That guide does not name India. [24]

WorkIndia: WorkIndia's home page has a "Post a Free Job" button, but its pricing page says: "To start hiring, purchase a plan and verify your profile. Then you can begin hiring from WorkIndia." [42] [22]

Cutshort: Cutshort's FAQ says you can start a free trial of the subscription model, and it does not confirm a permanent free plan. [23]

Free job posting sites without registration

No confirmed option in this guide lets you complete an employer job post without an account or employer details. Most require an account, and several ask for work-email, company or KYC checks. PostJobFree.com has no separate sign-up step, but says it creates an account after you post, so it is not a registration-free finished posting. [12] [18] [26] [29]

These checks help platforms connect a vacancy to a real employer and reduce fake jobs seen by candidates. On LineupX, every company and every job is checked before students see it, so it cannot offer posting without registration.

2. Set eligibility, skills, location and work arrangement.
3. State the salary or stipend where the site and the role require it.

Free internship posting sites

LineupX, Internshala and Unstop say employers can use their free routes for internships. Indeed says employers can post internship roles free, subject to its terms. LinkedIn's posting guidance lists internship as a job type, and QuikrJobs lists internships in its form. Wellfound's listings include internships; its employer pages do not state an internship rule. PostJobFree.com has internship listings in India, although its employer rules do not clearly state whether unpaid internships are allowed. [4] [6] [8] [15] [32] [39] [40]
