Using For-Fee Online Job Posting Services

In addition to letting you pay to post a job, these sites typically provide space on their site where you can organize the resumes that are sent in response to your ad, and offer tools to help you edit and manage the job ads that you post. That can be a lifesaver if you're posting many jobs at once.

Monster.com
Monster is perhaps the best known of the employment sites, thanks in no small part to the heavy TV advertising they did during the halcyon years of the dot-com boom.

Monster charges for all postings, and prices vary, by $100 or more, depending on the local market — big job markets are more expensive. You can buy multiple job postings at one time, for a discount – and you’re allowed to use those postings any time within one year.

When you buy such multiple job listings at once, prices for each ad run between $300 and $400 for 1-10 listings for 30 days each, and $200-$300 for 10-20 listings for 30 days each.
