Jobvertise

Jobvertise is a web-based hiring service for employers, recruiters, and jobseekers, combining job listings with resume search and job alerts. It is most compelling for recruiters who want a free way to start searching a large resume database, or employers who need paid promotion and longer access to applications. Choose a paid tier carefully: resume-view quotas are firm, and the yearly rate is discounted for advance payment but nonrefundable.

Overview

Employers can post jobs and search more than two million resumes on the free basic plan. Jobvertise says jobseekers add resumes directly to the site, giving recruiters a clear sense of how profiles enter the database. Employers can collect applications as well as post and search listings, making Jobvertise more than a place to advertise vacancies.

Employers can automate job posting by supplying an XML-formatted file through a web link for Jobvertise to download. Fees may apply depending on the quantity and quality of jobs, so this route is worth considering for larger feeds but is not necessarily a no-cost extension of the free plan.

Key features

Resume search and applicant access

Paid plans add recently posted resumes, attachments, emailed resume alerts, and phone numbers where available. Standard and Pro also provide direct email addresses where available. Those contact and alert features make the higher tiers more useful for recruiters working actively through candidates; Starter has the lower price but lacks the direct email access included at those levels.

Application access lasts 5 days on Free, 30 days on Starter, 60 days on Standard, and 180 days on Pro. The short free window is suited to a small or quick hiring effort, while teams with longer processes have a practical reason to pay for more time.

Promoted jobs and PERM records

Promoted jobs go to partners including Glassdoor, JobG8, and Jooble, and appear with higher priority and bold display in Jobvertise search results. This gives paid listings more visibility both within the service and through partner distribution, but it is less relevant to employers who only need basic posting and resume search.

PERMTrack provides timestamped posting evidence and an audit-ready PDF bundle. Audit Defense Gold adds daily screenshots and a six-year evidence repository, a focused option for employers who need organized PERM posting records rather than general hiring features alone.

Privacy and support

Jobvertise says passwords are encrypted so the company cannot decrypt them, and employer email addresses submitted through forms remain private. It also says it shares a hashed email and some site activity with CoverClicks to generate marketing interest signals, with an opt-out available. Online ordering data is encrypted, and support is available by phone at 888-388-JOBS or through an online form.

Pricing

Jobvertise is freemium, with a free plan and paid monthly tiers. The yearly rate is discounted for advance payment, but sales are final and payments are not refunded, so the advance-payment discount comes with a meaningful commitment.

Free is a sensible starting point for occasional searches, but three resume views a day and five days of application access constrain even modest ongoing hiring. Starter raises the quota and adds two promoted jobs, although the 500 monthly-view ceiling and lack of direct email addresses make it a limited step up for recruiters who need to contact candidates efficiently. Standard doubles Starter's daily and monthly view limits, adds three promoted jobs, and includes direct email addresses where available. Pro suits heavier hiring and longer application cycles, with the highest quotas, ten promoted jobs, six months of application access, and multiple users sharing one login; that shared-login arrangement may not suit teams that need separate user accounts.

Platforms

Jobvertise is a hosted web service. The same service addresses employers, recruiters, and jobseekers, including independent recruiters and large corporations.

Who it's for

Jobvertise fits employers and recruiters who want resume search alongside job posting, especially those who can begin with modest search volumes or need promotion and application collection in one service. It is less suitable for high-volume recruiting on a tight budget: the free tier is capped, and sustained access to larger resume pools requires a paid plan. Employers with PERM documentation needs may also value the dedicated evidence tools.

Pros and cons

• Pro: The free employer plan combines job posting with search across more than two million resumes, giving small-scale hiring a low-cost starting point.
• Pro: Paid tiers add resume alerts and attachments, while Standard and Pro include direct email addresses where available.
• Pro: Promoted jobs receive partner distribution and stronger placement in Jobvertise search results.
• Pro: PERMTrack and Audit Defense Gold provide timestamped evidence, daily screenshots, and long-term record retention for relevant compliance workflows.
• Con: Free search is limited to three resume views per day, and application access lasts only five days.
• Con: Paid tiers still impose both daily and monthly resume-view ceilings, so the higher monthly price does not mean unlimited search.
• Con: Yearly advance payments are nonrefundable, making the discount a poor fit for employers unsure they will continue using the service.
• Con: Pro lets multiple users share one login, which may be inconvenient for teams that prefer separate accounts.

Verdict

Jobvertise is a strong starting choice for employers and recruiters who want free resume search and job posting, with a clear upgrade path for promoted listings, broader candidate contact, and longer application access. Its central limitation is that every plan has resume-view caps, while its yearly advance payment cannot be refunded. Choose it for a measured hiring workflow that benefits from resume search and optional promotion; look elsewhere if you need uncapped searching or want to avoid a nonrefundable annual commitment.
