OnlineJobs offers a free employer plan that allows companies to test the platform and start hiring without an upfront subscription.
The free plan includes basic employer functionality and access to essential hiring tools.
What’s Included in the Free Plan
The free employer plan currently includes:
1 total job posting
1 active job posting
Access to the employer dashboard
Ability to receive applications
Candidate saving/bookmarking
Basic job management features
The free employer plan does not include:
Messaging candidates
Full background & info of candidates
Candidate's details are semi-censored
This makes the free plan a good option for employers who want to explore the platform before upgrading.
How Long Free Jobs Stay Live
Free plan job postings stay active indefinitely unless:
You manually pause the job
You delete the listing
You set a custom expiration date
The job is removed due to moderation or policy issues
Candidate Visibility on Free Plans
Free employers can still receive and review applicants.
However, some candidate information is partially restricted on free plans.
This may include:
Candidate names
Profile pictures
Certain profile details
These limitations are designed to encourage upgrading to premium employer plans for full candidate access.
Messaging Limitations
Free employer accounts currently do not include candidate messaging functionality.
To unlock messaging and additional hiring tools, a premium subscription is required.
Job Visibility Differences
Free plan jobs receive lower visibility compared to premium employer listings.
Free job postings:
Appear after premium listings in search and listings
Receive lower placement priority
Do not include featured job promotion benefits
Premium employer listings receive higher visibility and additional exposure opportunities.
Moderation for Free Employers
Free employer job postings go through a dedicated moderation process.
This includes:
Placement in the Free Employer Posts Queue
Manual review for all edits and updates
As a result, moderation for free listings may sometimes take longer than premium employer reviews.
What Happens After a Paid Subscription Expires?
Once a paid subscription fully expires:
Your account returns to the free employer plan
Premium features become unavailable
Existing jobs may become paused automatically
Free plan limitations apply again
Free employers may keep:
1 active job posting
Basic hiring functionality
Additional jobs beyond free plan limits may remain paused until the subscription is renewed.
Upgrading From Free to Premium
You can upgrade your employer plan anytime to unlock:
Higher job posting limits
Messaging access
Better candidate visibility
Featured jobs
Faster and higher-priority exposure
Premium plans are designed for employers hiring more actively or at larger scale.

Why are candidate details hidden?
Some candidate information is partially restricted on free plans.
Upgrading to a premium membership unlocks additional candidate visibility and communication features.
Why are my jobs showing lower in search results?

Pro Tip
The free plan is a great way to test OnlineJobs before committing to a subscription.
