The Best Job Search Sites

2023 Job Search Site Reviews

Indeed

• Free to job seekers
• 423,000+ job listings
• Resume building tool
• On-site applications
• Salary and employer reviews available
• Clean search feature

Indeed is a well-established site that is one of the most popular for job seekers online today. The site has a variety of options to ensure your job search gives you the best opportunities possible for your needs.

Jobs that fit your needs

Indeed lets you narrow down open positions to fit your particular needs as well as view reviews on companies that you might want to work for to determine if they fit your ethos and work style. Indeed balances a clean, easy-to-use interface with helpful tools for modern job seekers. The searchable job listings on Indeed provide details like the location of the position, salary range, reviews from employees, and an at-a-glance job description. With any job search, you get a range of options ordered by the most accurate to your search criteria, and the website is free to use and sign up for.

User interface makes it easy to search jobs

One of the things we liked best about Indeed is the user interface. After searching for a job, the list is displayed along the side of your screen. When you click on a listing, it doesn't divert you to a new page. Instead, Indeed shows you the details of the listing on the other side of your screen. You can view details on the company, a full job description, the salary expectations for the position, and whether the job is remote, in-person, or hybrid. Each listing also has a like button to save the listing for application later, or you can apply immediately without leaving Indeed. Either way, you don't lose your search list, and you can keep scrolling as long as you like to discover new jobs.

Easy applications with saved resume

The resume feature on Indeed is competitive with other options in our review. Users on Indeed can create an account (though you don't have to have an account to use their search features), and upload their resumes. Saved resumes make it easier to submit jobs, and your resume can be searched by recruiters or employers to offer you a job without you needing to lift a finger. You do need an account to apply for jobs through Indeed, but if the job is hosted by Indeed, you can apply directly with your saved resume.

Job seekers love the streamlined process

Indeed is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and has an "A+" rating. The reviews for Indeed average about 3.5 stars out of 5 across different review sites, showing a balanced number of 5-star reviews and 1-star reviews. Happy job seekers who used Indeed noted raved about how easy it was to get jobs from the site. Some users reported finding multiple jobs through Indeed.

Built-in resume builder

Other satisfied users talked about the usefulness of the resume builder on the site and how simple it made it for them to apply to multiple jobs at a time, really streamlining the process of the job search. Other positive comments noted that Indeed had some of the best up-to-date job listings of any job site today. Interestingly, the majority of the 1-star reviews were from the perspective of employers who pay to use the advertisements on the site, not from job seekers.

Top option for job seekers across the web

Indeed is one of the most impressive options in our review. With tons of job listings, information about companies, reviews from employees, salary information, and a streamlined search function, the website works to simplify the process of online job applications for its users. Job seekers are almost universally happy with their results with Indeed. With great resume tools, on-site applications, and an easy and streamlined user interface, we (and successful job seekers) love Indeed as a job search website. For these reasons, it's our highest-ranked platform.

Zip Recruiter

• Free for job seekers
• Mobile app
• AI-based job matching
• 1-click applications
• Great for recruiters and job seekers

ZipRecruiter is one of the largest job search engines available, with thousands of new companies subscribing each month to post their job openings on the site. The company has been open for 12 years and caters to both job seekers and recruiters.

Popular features

One of the site's most popular features is the ability for every online user to create a free, professional profile that allows them to apply for jobs, add a resume, update references, sign up for job alerts, and more. Plus, you can manage everything from the ZipRecruiter mobile app, so you can work on your next professional step anytime from any place. All this makes ZipRecruiter an ideal site for those seeking employment - and those looking for their next hire.

Full range of job opportunities

When you create a profile on ZipRecruiter, it allows you to quickly and easily apply to any open positions directly on the site. You are also visible to recruiters who use ZipRecruiter to search for new hires. The site also offers a messaging feature, so you can communicate directly with employers, simplifying the hiring process.

Search function is very detailed

One of the things we liked best about the site is how detailed its search function is. The ZipRecruiter job search is highly effective as it allows users to search for specific keywords like "remote work", "work from home", and "bilingual". There are lots of ways to narrow down the job opportunities, and listings range from hourly work options to full-salaried positions. The only thing that is a little less intuitive with ZipRecruiter is that when you want to click on a listing to see more, it will take you to a separate page from the search page. So, you'll have to backtrack if you want to go back to your search. However, ZipRecruiter does take you back to the same place you left off in your search, which was helpful.

Meet Phil

One of the newer additions to ZipRecruiter is its AI matching program named Phil. The AI asks you questions about your needs and even has a chat feature on the site if you have questions about the job application process. To begin using Phil, you just need to "phil" out (see what we did there?) a short survey that is available on the ZipRecruiter landing page. At the end of the survey, before Phil shows you the best matches, the AI will tell you how many matches it found, how many companies are hiring in your preferred area, and what the average salary expectations will be for the roles the AI found.

Happy seekers and employers

ZipRecruiter has an average of 3 stars out of 5 across various review sites. Much of the feedback for ZipRecruiter comes from reviews on the site as well as a collection of picture and video testimonials. The happy clients all agree that ZipRecruiter was instrumental in connecting them to their next job. Many job seekers who used ZipRecruiter ended up at major name-brand companies and show that they are happily situated in their new position. Many of the reviews outside of ZipRecruiter's testimonials were from employer recruiters who also found the site to be extremely useful in finding candidates for positions. So, whether you're seeking or hiring, ZipRecruiter is doing its best work - so we're not really sure where that somewhat lackluster ratings average is coming from.

A top-tier service, worth checking out

ZipRecruiter is a highly effective and easy-to-use job search engine that has been connecting job seekers and recruiters for over a decade. Its free professional profile feature, detailed search function, messaging feature, and AI matching program have all made job seeking and hiring easier than ever before. With thousands of new companies subscribing each month and a full range of job opportunities ranging from hourly to full-salaried positions, ZipRecruiter has something for everyone. We recommend taking a look at this valuable resource in the job market.

FlexJobs

• Costs between $1.14-$9.95 per week
• Accredited with an "A+" Rating from the BBB
• Focuses on remote or hybrid jobs

Work is changing, and remote and hybrid jobs are becoming the new normal. Claiming to be the top job site to find the best remote, work-from-home, and flexible jobs, FlexJobs corners the market to support all the job seekers who want to prioritize their work-life balance. The only downside is that you do have to pay for a membership with FlexJobs. However, their prices are low, ranging from $1.14 per week up to $9.95 per week depending on which subscription you choose.

Paid service but still has great options

One of the things we liked about the pricing at FlexJobs is that they acknowledge that there are plenty of free services out there. Their awareness of the market for job searches, and their promise to provide top-notch service to paying customers to make up for the extra hassle of payment makes us feel a little better about there being a cost for this service.

Four subscription options

There are four subscription options: 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year and the price per week goes down the longer you stay subscribed. For example:

• 1 week subscription = $9.95
• 1-month subscription = $24.95 ($6.24 per week)
• 3-month subscription = $39.95 ($3.33 per week)
• 1-year subscription = $59.95 ($1.14 per week)

Skill tests, personalized profile, and more

This subscription gives you unlimited access to all the jobs found by FlexJobs, free skill tests to showcase your skill sets to employers, a personalized profile, email alerts, job search tips, and resources, as well as a personalized portfolio builder. They do offer options for coaching, but you will have to pay separately for it outside of the subscription.

What can you get for free?

If you're not sold on paying for a subscription to find your next job, FlexJobs does offer some features for free. Free visitors can view a short version of all current job listings to give you an idea of what you can expect from using the FlexJobs service. The site also provides useful and comprehensive resources like blogs and job search articles that can help you with your next steps to getting a new job or changing careers. However, to get access to the job applications and the other benefits of the site, you will have to subscribe.

Strong user interface

One of the things we liked about using FlexJobs' search function was that when you click to get more information for a single listing, it pops up on the side of your screen. You don't lose progress in your search scroll or navigate to a new page every time you want to see more about a particular listing. We also liked that when companies have won accolades or awards, the job listing has little badges on it to see which jobs might be more beneficial or better places to work. The details of the listings tell you what type of job (hybrid vs. fully remote) it is, whether it's full or part-time and whether you would be hired as an employee or a freelancer. You also can see a short description of the job itself with the free view, and a full view of the details once you subscribe.

Users say the quality of service makes up for the price

One of the things FlexJobs promises is the best possible service to make charging you for their job-seeking services worthwhile. They want to work to earn your money and trust. And, according to reviews online, FlexJobs is committed to doing just that. FlexJobs is accredited by the BBB and has an "A+" rating as well as 4.6 out of 5 stars from consumers on the BBB site. Additionally, FlexJobs has a 4.7 out of 5 stars on Sitejabber and 4.5 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot. Across the board, FlexJobs has some of the best user ratings in our evaluation so we know for a fact that this site is putting in the promised effort to get you your dream job in a flexible work environment.

Best remote work site, even with the price

Although it is a paid service, FlexJobs offers competitive pricing with four subscription options. The site has a strong user interface with a search function that allows you to easily navigate through job listings without losing progress. Based on the reviews from various platforms, FlexJobs has an excellent track record of delivering on its promises and providing top-notch service to its paying customers. Only the fact that there are successful free options that deliver results put FlexJobs in our #3 spot, but because of the focus on remote work and the amazing client reviews, FlexJobs does beat out many other free options we tried.

Ladders

• Free
• Paid membership options
• Apply4Me browser extension (Chrome only)
• Resources on the site
• Resume assistance
• Over 25,000 jobs

Ladders is a job search platform that specializes in management, engineering, and C-suite-level positions. All of the jobs listed on Ladders pay around $100K or more, with a specific estimated salary range provided in each job description. The platform allows users to narrow down job listings by state, role, and specialty. While some companies remain anonymous, most provide a comprehensive company background in their listings. Most of Ladders' services are completely free, but they do offer membership options to use their Chrome extension Apply4Me.

Made for job seekers looking for a high salary

To apply for a job on Ladders, you'll need an account, which is completely free. If you are looking for management, engineering, or C-suite level positions, Ladders is a good place to start. The site does not cater to lower-level jobs and workers so that automatically narrows down options. All positions listed pay around $100K (some a little less, some a lot more). Each job listing has an estimated salary range provided by Ladders in the description, and you can narrow down your search to only include options that are $100K or above if your goal is to make the leap to a higher salary with your next job change (or keep what you're currently making).

Browser extension that applies for you

One of the things that we liked best about Ladders is the Chrome extension they offer called Apply4Me. The process includes answering an 18-question survey, and then you can use the Chrome extension on Ladders' site as well as other places you want to apply for jobs online. When you add the extension to your browser, a Ladders team member visits the company's site, clicks "apply" on your chosen job, fills out the entire application, and applies to the job on your behalf. You'll receive confirmations and follow-up communications from the employer once the process is complete. However, it is important to note that you do have to pay for a membership to use this service, but with reviewers calling it a "game changer," it seems worth the extra cost.

Job search resources on-site

On top of the Appy4Me extension, the Ladders site also offers a variety of resources to pull together the best resume and blogs to help you understand the job market, industry standards, and how to prepare for interviews. Some of these resources include:

• A free resume rewrite
• Resume templates
• Professional resume review
• Career advice on interviews, cover letters, and salaries
• The Ultimate Job Search Toolkit eBook

Game-changing options at Ladders

While the site isn't accredited by the BBB, it's well-reviewed by clients on other sites. With a 4.7 out of 5 stars from Sitejabber, many customers are happily discussing their placement in high-paying jobs after using Ladders. Multiple reviews noted that the Apply4Me extension is a "game changer." Across the board, customers spoke highly of the customer service with Ladders. Some users noted that when they were wrongfully charged fees, Ladders reversed the charges right away. However, some users who rated Ladders 1 star out of 5 noted that they felt that their emails were full of leads without any real results, and they felt like the service wasn't worth the email overload.

Top option for a higher salary

If a higher salary is your goal for your next job, Ladders is the place to go. All positions listed pay around $100K, and you won't have to sift through lower-paying jobs that might still meet your experience criteria. With the helpful (though not free) Apply4Me extension, and a variety of resources to guide you through the job application processes including interviews once you've gotten past the application stage, we can see Ladders as a strong contender for your job search and for anyone interested in finding higher salaries in their industry.

Snagajob

• Free service
• Hourly job opportunities
• Pick up shifts

Snagajob is a job search engine that caters to hourly workers. Local jobs with flexible shifts from name-brand companies are a staple of what you'll find here.

See the open shifts and commute time

Job seekers can view the commute time from the job description and focus on job opportunities specific to their needs with hourly wages starting as low as $12. The platform also offers a by-shift job application option for certain cities. This allows users to sign up for open shifts at local businesses and get paid weekly for picking up individual shifts across their local town, making it a flexible job option.

Easy-to-use job search

The job descriptions on Snagajob are straightforward and provide clear requirements and qualifications, with some listings labeled "Urgently Hiring" if you're looking for something to pay the bills right away. If you don't know what you're looking for, you can just use the Find Hourly Jobs tab on the dropdown menu to start your search. It will immediately offer you options for hourly rates, and you can begin narrowing it down by job type, industry, or location.

Flexible options for extra cash

One of the things we liked best about Snagajob, other than being a great option featuring hourly work, was the shift alerts. If you're looking for a more flexible way to add to your paycheck, you can sign up for alerts for open shifts at local businesses. This way, you can pick up one shift and move on to something new next time. You only need to work when you want to and don't have to sign up for weekly schedules.

Good reviews from job seekers

While Snagajob isn't accredited by the BBB, it does have an "A+" rating. However, Snagajob doesn't have a lot of reviews across different sites, and the highest it was rated was 3.4 stars from one review site whereas most others rated it just over 1 star out of 5. Happy customers noted that they felt like the website was trustworthy. It hosts jobs from a lot of name-brand companies, and users found it easy to get a job on Snagajob.

Easy to use

Multiple users repeated that the site was easy to use and made the application process easy as well. Like some of the other options on this list, many of the 1-star reviews for Snagajob are from the employer's side. They have to pay to advertise or list jobs, and many companies felt that it wasn't worth their time. However, very few of the low reviews were from job seekers.

Good option for hourly listings

Overall, Snagajob is a useful job search engine for hourly workers looking for local job opportunities with flexible schedules. It has a variety of work options with name-brand companies and provides hourly work with competitive rates. With decent user response and evidence of job seekers getting work from Snagajob, we recommend checking it out despite some of the low reviews from employers.

Wellfound

• Free service
• Jobs in data science and engineering
• Industry research available
• Tops and tricks for job seekers

Formerly known as AngelList, Wellfound is a clean, modern site for job seekers that focuses on helping you find jobs with startup businesses. Wellfound has a great database of relevant jobs at top-notch companies.

Over 130,000 job listings

Although this site doesn't have many of the jobs listed by some of the other options in this review, they do offer a host of competitive positions as well as options for completely remote work. There were over 130,000 listings on Wellfound at the time of this review, and access to those listings is completely free once you've made an account.

Great options for data science, but not much else

Browsing through job listings on Wellfound is super simple. Despite the focus of the site on startups, there are also a host of well-known company names on the site, especially in tech jobs. However, many of these job opportunities are for data scientists and engineers, so there aren't as many opportunities for people in fields outside of those skill sets.

Tech job listings

For example, the roles listed in the job-search drop-down menu include options like:

• Backend Engineer
• Creative Director
• DevOps Engineer
• Engineering Manager
• Full Stack Engineer
• Graphic Designer
• Mobile Engineer
• Product Manager
• Security Engineer
• Software Architect

So, if you're not looking for a management or data science position, you might need to browse a different job search site.

Well-designed and streamlined service

We particularly liked two things about Wellfound. First, the design of the site is amazing. It's very streamlined, modern, and colorful. The visuals make it easy to use, and it fits the bill for data science job seekers who are looking for a place to use their skills. Second, we loved that they offer industry insights and options for Web3 which are jobs that utilize blockchain technology focused on individual ownership and the decentralized internet. Wellfound sees the 300% growth in this industry and works to provide startup opportunities for job seekers to get into this industry while it's still growing.

Not much data from job seekers yet

Wellfound is not accredited by the BBB and only averages about 3.2 stars out of 5 across different review sites. It's important to note that on one site it only had 7 total reviews, so Wellfound hasn't received a lot of attention from users yet. It also doesn't help that the company recently rebranded from AngelList to Wellfound, so there are currently zero reviews under the new brand name.

Few customer reviews, but they're very happy

However, the few reviews did include some with 5 stars. Satisfied users noted that the streamlined service of Wellfound and the tools available on the site really helped connect users with jobs they wanted and that used their skills appropriately. The lower reviews are for AngelList back before the rebrand and aren't particularly helpful for the new updates to Wellfound. However, for the reviews available, job seekers are happy with the data science jobs at Wellfound.

Best option for data science or Web3

Overall, Wellfound is a well-designed job search site for those seeking employment opportunities in startup businesses or data science. The site is modern and visually appealing, making it easy to navigate. However, while the site offers job opportunities across several fields, there is a strong emphasis on data science and engineering positions. So, if you want a more broad base for opportunities in other fields, you might need to look somewhere else. However, if you're looking for a new job in data science or are interested in the emerging industry of Web3, Wellfound could be a great job search option for you.

Monster

• Free job searches
• Paid option for having your resume written
• Paid option to update your LinkedIn
• Resources for interview advice
• Salary tools

Monster may be the first name that comes to mind when people think of looking for jobs online. They have an online job search site that provides a clear direction for job seekers right from the landing page.

Get started right away

You can start by entering your desired job into the search field, or start filtering from searches that are popular with other job seekers. The filters also allow you to narrow down the location, job status, whether you want part-time or full-time, date posted, company, and nearby cities to find more specific job roles. When you make an account with Monster, you can save job listings and sign up for alerts when new jobs are posted. The site offers completely free job search services, and a paid resume-writing service if you want a professional to update your resume.

Resources available across the site

One of the standout features of Monster's job search site is its "Career Advice" page. Here, job seekers can access a wealth of articles that include topics like how to choose between jobs or respond to interview questions. The career advice articles are searchable by specific topic. Monster also offers salary tools to help you see what a fair salary is for your ideal position. There are also a variety of salary blogs and tips to help you negotiate your ideal income.

Paid professional makeovers

Additionally, Monster offers a resume writing service that ranges from $149 to $349, with a 100% guarantee that Monster will rewrite the resume for free if the customer is not satisfied.

• The cheapest option is just your resume, but it promises to provide key elements that employers are looking for and it will be delivered within 5 days of your purchase.
• The mid-tier option which costs $219 regularly, but was on sale for 10% off at the time of this review, offers a written cover letter on top of the resume.
• The most expensive tier at $349 adds a makeover for your LinkedIn page as well as the resume and cover letter, to make sure all your professional assets are up to date.

Mixed reviews

Monster has received an average of 3 stars out of 5 across review sites. Customers who used Monster's free and paid resume services noted that they were extremely happy with the results. They received multiple interviews and felt that the number of responses from employers compared to the number of applications they submitted through Monster was the best out of the job sites they used. Most of the unhappy users felt like the jobs they were suggested didn't fit their resumes or needs. They noted that Monster would send them jobs outside of their field and "wasted time" with irrelevant leads.

Decent mid-ground option

Overall, Monster is a solid option for job searching, with plenty of postings available for job seekers to sort through. However, it's important to be proactive in searching for relevant job openings and not rely solely on the job alerts provided by Monster, as the mixed reviews show that the job alerts aren't always accurate or helpful for your particular industry. While we like a lot of the features on Monster, its mixed reviews on its effectiveness means that it doesn't compete with our top options. However, it is a good place to dive into job searches, so it's still worth checking out if you have time.

Career Builder

• Free to job seekers
• 100,000+ job listings
• Salary advice
• Resume building tool
• Accredited by the BBB

CareerBuilder is a straightforward, easy-to-navigate site. They host over a million job openings that cater to both entry-level workers as well as executives. You can join through your email, Google, or Facebook accounts.

Variety of job search tools

CareerBuilder offers a variety of services including a resume builder, advice options, and a tailored search engine with job recommendations. They also offer advice for your expected salary depending on your job and location. When searching for open positions, they list jobs by category from A - Z. With each listing, a map is provided to let you know exactly where the company is located, and it's easy to save jobs to view later once you have an account.

Compare salaries and similar jobs

CareerBuilder offers unique career development tools that would prove useful to any individual whether they are actively seeking a new job or not. The Salaries and Advice tab is particularly helpful to job seekers. In this tab, you can compare salaries for positions that you're interested in, as well as see if you're getting offered a fair rate by employers. On this page, CareerBuilder will also suggest similar roles that hire the same skill sets as jobs that you searched for salary information on. You can also view related skills and recommended ways to add to your resume for that role.

Career coaching

On top of this, you can book free coaching sessions to get advice about your career, your job options, and how to move forward with your job search. You get 45 minutes with a career expert at CareerBuilder. Using AI technology, CareerBuilding matches you with coaching experts whose experience is aligned with the position you want and your specific coaching needs.

Support for PoC workforce

One of the things that stood out on the CareerBuilder site is that they have a partnership with iHeartRadio's Black Information Network. They're supporting the goal to connect 100,000 Black job seekers who are looking to advance their careers with employers.

Disappointing customer reviews

CareerBuilder is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and has an "A+" rating. However, across review sites, CareerBuilder only averages a 2.3-star rating out of 5. There aren't many reviews to go off of, though, so CareerBuilder may not be used as frequently as some other job search engines. The few 5-star reviews about the site note that customers were happy with the service and found jobs through CareerBuilder.

Poor feedback on information security

However, 1-star reviews, which make up 90% of the reviews on Sitejabber, noted that when users submitted their resumes to jobs, they started receiving emails from "scam" sites. Review after review complained about scam calls and emails (up to 30 per day) that resulted from using CareerBuilder. So, while the site might have decent career advice, it doesn't appear to do a great job at protecting user information and privacy.

Not the safest option for privacy

While CareerBuilder has some good tools and features, especially the salary comparison tool, we're a little worried about the number of users who complained about getting scam emails and calls after submitting their information to CareerBuilder. With a distinct gap between happy users and 1-star reviews, it might be safer to move on with a different job search site. However, if you just want to use the career resources, it might be worth checking out CareerBuilder's free options.

Job

• Free to job seekers
• Dating-app style matching
• Uses AI to find jobs
• A+ rating with the BBB

Job is a little different from some of the other options in this review. It works something like a dating app. Once your resume is uploaded and information filled out, Job matches you with the best jobs for you by running your resume through its AI algorithm.

AI does the work for you

Ideally, when you use Job, you're meant to leave the job searching up to the algorithm and wait until they notify you of relevant jobs in your area. While this might be great for someone who is job searching in and around other activities, and could take some of the stress out of the process, it also isn't the fastest way to get connected with new opportunities. Job seekers will need to be patient and maybe use the Job AI matching along with another job search site if they want fast results.

Frustrating interface

The site also has a job search function and the opportunity to chat with a recruiter if you feel like you need a little extra direction. However, the user interface for Job isn't the most impressive. The listings are cluttered and hard to read and don't give out enough information beyond the job requirements.

Modernized since the site was launched

The main page is very modern and streamlined. There are two primary options for job searches displayed: Discover and Match. This is a recent update to the site as previously you couldn't search at all. However, the options are a fair way down the landing page, so it does take a while to get down to where you need to start clicking.

Job leads frequently don't match the user

Job is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau, however, it does have an "A+" rating there. Across other review sites, Job received a 1.5-star rating out of five. The reviewers agreed that Job doesn't offer enough new job postings, that they had increased email spam, and that when leads are offered, they miss the mark constantly.

Site doesn't do the job

With all the concern from reviewers about spam and unhelpful job leads, Job doesn't stand out as a top performer for online job seekers. While the AI matching approach seems clever and has been updated since 2021, it just doesn't stand up against other options with better reviews and better employment for job seekers. If you want the best chance to get your dream job, you might want to keep searching without Job.

Nexxt

• Free services
• Resume assistance
• Portfolio builder
• Accredited by the BBB

Nexxt is a job search site that aims to help job seekers find the next step in their careers. However, fewer job listings and a basic user interface hold this job search site back.

"Focus" on your career

Nexxt organizes job postings by "focuses," such as what career you want, whether you want local options, or what kind of diversity you're looking for from employers. However, the drop-down options under the focuses redirect you to entirely different websites specializing in your selection. On the plus side, they offer tools to create a portfolio, provide career advice, and write resumes, which can increase your chances of appealing to employers.

Not a wide variety with Nexxt

Across the board, we noticed that Nexxt had fewer job listings than other search engines. Additionally, the search criteria tend to bring up similar job titles to what you're looking for, mingled with your specific search. Many of these jobs are also located in cities outside of your preferred locations, and "remote" work isn't a search criterion available through Nexxt, which is disappointing.

UI is outdated

The user interface of Nexxt is basic, and job postings link to third-party sites for the application process. None of the applications are done on-site, so application requirements and whether you need a cover letter, resume, and portfolio may be different for each job. However, you can submit applications without creating an account with Nexxt.

Optional portfolio builder

One of the features we liked about Nexxt was the portfolio builder tool. For those who do create an account, you can build a portfolio that will help attract recruiters and employers scouting for open positions. You can also store a resume and cover letter on the site if you create an account.

1-star ratings for Nexxt

Nexxt is accredited by the BBB and has an "A+" rating, however, it isn't well-reviewed by users. It has received an average of 1 star out of 5 across multiple review sites, and users are frustrated by the fact that Nexxt emailed them without them even signing up for an account. Other users complained about Nexxt selling private information and that they received spam calls and emails after signing up for Nexxt. It may be important to note that there are just over 30 total reviews for Nexxt, so it isn't a popular site in general.

Move onto the Nexxt option

Overall, Nexxt is a decent option for job seekers looking to start their job search and gain additional advice along the way. However, the breadth of job listings is not as extensive as other job search sites we reviewed, and reviewers are frustrated with the lack of information security when signing up. With an outdated user interface and just fewer features than other options in this review, Nexxt didn't stand out against competitors. You'll want to try your job search somewhere else.
