payment for linux jobs
 

Dear Administrator
Why is there a fee for the Linux jobs forum to post a job. the forum should be to acilitate career opportunity for users.
pls comment
regards

To my knowledge, the fees are much cheaper than say sites like Monster and others alike for posting Job Opportunities.

Think of it as a referral fee if you hire someone who found your ad here on this site. Job Classifieds are advertising in essence, so you are supporting the site when you pay for a service to reach out to recruit, etc. It also helps prevent people, businesses, corporations from using this site to post irrelevant jobs, advertisements, etc.

Right - pay for it or LQ will get swamped with job ads.
I run a Yahoo group that originally had open posting, but job ads (mostly from India) just swamped everyones mailboxes.

edit: nevermind. darned ie7.....

I think the idea is correct. LQ is charging companies to advertise their man power needs on this site. While companies are assured of a good and informed readership, it remains free for the propective employees.

Happy Birthday AnanthaP :) LQ is charging for the fact that any employer who wishes to advertise here gets a potential audience of a quarter of a million people with varying levels of knowledge. Requiring payment means that we don't get spammed and that the jobs are focused towards our members. Just throwing it open for free would mean a huge number of ads for people to "earn $$$$ in their spare time".
