Have you ever wanted to know which job ad publishers have the best price and which sites have the most of the candidates you need?  

…well now you can! Appcast has analyzed many millions of sponsored clicks and applies from hundreds of leading U.S. employers to understand exactly how job ad publishers stack up within key job categories in two key areas: 1) cost-per-applicant (CPA), and 2) applicant volume.

You can download the full 2019 Publisher Ratings report here to learn about all the winners in each category.

  • ZipRecruiter: Lowest CPA for jobs in Marketing, Human Resources, Engineering, Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical, Accounting
