Worked example: one posting at the free level costs nothing. The paid options are worth pricing only once the free one is in place and you can see what it brings in.
Who it fits.
It suits an employer who wants broad reach at low cost for roles where local candidates matter, and who can screen a large applicant pool. For a physician search it works best next to a physician board, not instead of one.
