POST A JOB
Facebook lets you post jobs free through your Business Page and the Local Jobs surface relaunched in October 2025. It's the strongest free channel for local hourly hiring, but expect heavy applicant volume to filter.
Updated May 24, 2026Facebook offers free job posting through your Business Page. Meta relaunched the dedicated Local Jobs experience in October 2025, prioritizing nearby, in-person roles in feed and on the Marketplace surface, which is why local-service small businesses (restaurants, salons, trades, retail) consistently report better signal here than on national job boards.
Posting is free, you don't need an ad account or Business Manager setup, and the listing pulls candidates from your Page's followers plus Facebook's location-and-interest matching. The tradeoff is applicant quality: anyone with a Facebook account can apply with one tap, which means high volume but lots of unqualified clicks.
7 steps, around 10-15 minutes start to finish.
You can only post jobs from a Business Page, not from a personal profile. If you don't have one, go to facebook.com/business and create one - it takes about 5 minutes. You'll need to be a Page admin or editor to publish jobs.
From your Page, click 'Create' or 'Manage' (depending on Facebook's current UI) and select 'Job'. On mobile, tap the More icon under your Page and pick 'Jobs'. Facebook will walk you through a guided form.
Enter the job title, location (specific address, not just city - this matters for Local Jobs ranking), job type (full-time, part-time, contract), and the rough salary range or hourly rate. Facebook surfaces pay prominently in the listing card.
Keep it short - 150 to 400 words. Facebook applicants are scrolling, not reading. Lead with what the role does, who you're looking for, and pay/schedule. Long corporate-style descriptions get scrolled past on mobile, which is 60%+ of Facebook traffic.
Facebook lets you add up to 5 custom questions. Use 2 to 3 - one yes/no knockout (e.g. 'Do you have a reliable car?') and one or two short-answer questions. More than 3 and your completion rate drops sharply.
Hit Publish. Your listing appears in the Jobs tab on your Page, in the Local Jobs surface, and on Marketplace Jobs in eligible regions. Posts last 30 days by default and can be renewed in one click.
Facebook Groups (especially neighborhood and industry-specific ones) are an underused channel. Share the job link as a post in 2 to 3 groups where your candidates already hang out. Most groups allow employer posts on specific days - check the rules first.
| Tier | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free organic post | $0 | Posted from your Business Page, shown in your Jobs tab, the Local Jobs surface, and (in eligible regions) Marketplace Jobs. Stays live 30 days. |
| Boosted job post | From ~$10/day | Promotes the listing as a paid post in feed to a chosen audience. Set a daily budget; Facebook serves the post until the budget exhausts. Not the same as Indeed-style sponsorship - it's a feed ad of your job listing. |
Facebook does not charge per application. Verify the boost minimums for your region on Facebook Ads Manager.
Drop this into the Facebook description editor and replace the bracketed fields. Tuned to the formatting Facebook renders cleanly.

Yes. You can post unlimited jobs from your Business Page at no cost. Facebook does not charge per posting, per applicant, or per renewal. Boosting a post (treating it like a paid ad in feed) is optional and starts around $10/day.
Facebook deprecated the standalone Jobs tab in early 2023 in some regions and refocused on Marketplace job listings. In October 2025, Meta relaunched a dedicated Local Jobs experience prioritizing in-person roles, which is the current surface most US small businesses post to.
No. Job posting is a Page-native feature and works without Ads Manager or a payment method on file. You only need a payment method if you choose to boost the post.
Local, in-person, hourly roles outperform office and remote roles by a wide margin. Restaurants, salons, retail, cleaning services, trades, and warehouse hiring see the strongest signal because Local Jobs is geo-ranked. Senior office roles get almost no distribution here - use LinkedIn or Indeed for those.
Facebook delivers applicants through your Page's Messenger inbox or a built-in applicant list in the Jobs admin view. There's no pipeline, no stage tracking, no scorecards. ParsleyHR pulls Facebook applicants into a real ATS pipeline alongside Indeed, LinkedIn, and your careers page so you don't lose track of them in your DMs.
Yes. ParsleyHR posts your role to Facebook plus 15+ other major job boards from one dashboard and routes every application back to a single inbox with stages, scorecards, and reminders.
Facebook is the best free channel for local hourly hiring. For salaried office or remote roles, pair it with LinkedIn and Indeed - ParsleyHR posts to all three in one click.
