Craigslist for job searching is most useful if you’re looking for incredibly specific niche gig work. Most often you’ll find spam and fake job postings (including LOTS of posts asking to send pictures of your feet), but listings on things like support for events, one-off work like move support, and other quick gigs are typically reliable.

Great website to find a quick job! I will say you may have to watch out for scams but the company does a great job at detecting those most of the time.

Craigslist can be a bit suspicious, and great care is needed when looking through available jobs. I would say craiglist jobs is good for quick on-the-side type of jobs, but it is important to be cautious. I don't think the postings are regulated much, so every so often some weird jobs will show up.

I posted my resume on Craigslist but after a week I had to take it down because I was getting all these unwanted communications from people that were not even related to employment. My inbox was bombarded from the time I posted my resume until I took it down. Never again...lesson learned.

Up until recently, I pretty much used Craigslist to find workrs to help with some of my home projects or repairs. Not sure why or when their format changed, but now the only thing I see when searching are companies offerong their services, no more individuals avaiable.

I love how many things you have on your website. Very useful for many things you need in life. Very easy to use and very easy to post. Great site to sell and find stuff your looking to buy.

I really like Craigslist, but it is not always a place I would trust to find jobs. There are some jobs that just seem like a scam or an advertisement. Additionally, there is not always a lot of information about the company, so I do not get reassurance of who they are.

Graiglist is an amazing platform. You can almost get whatever you'd like, and the platform gives you the opportunity to sell your stuff as well. Interesting !

I wish Craigslist was better at vetting their posts. I still think it’s a fantastic tool to use but unfortunately there’s been more and more scams on there in recent years. I used to rely on it all the time and now I’m more hesitant.

Craigslist can get a little bit shady sometimes. Some listings do not seem too legit. While its nice to use craigslist for little jobs here and there, it is kind of hard knowing when they truly need help or are going to do something.

Craigslist is a good place for finding entry level positions, at least it was in 2010 when I used it to find my current company. The posting on Craigslist helped me connect with a recruiter which helped me land a full time job with benefits.

We tried Criagslist for the hiring process for our business. It was ok but I probably wouldn't us it again. The quality of the specific candidates I was looking for was not specific enough for us and we didn't end up finding anyone that had the qualifications we needed. We chose to try another company.

I have had an ok experience with craigslist. I feel like there is a lot of unknowns on there though. I feel like some of the quality is questionable. I wish there was a better way to vet the ads/services. I feel like some other websites are more useful for doing that.

Although a free service, the interface is not good .. they are doing it for a long time and they should consider doing a face lift on their website.. I rather use KSL classifieds than craigslist.

Ive used craigslist to look for jobs, you have to be careful and safe and make sure the jobs are legit jobs. Never go alone to the first meeting event just in case, but overall it was always a good experience.

Craigslist used to be great and an easy way to find local listings or sell items etc. Now it has turned into a place for predators. You are not safe in the site, and there is no ad blocker option, they fill you with spam and it's near impossible to even navigate through the site without pop up ads.

Craigslist is a pretty good resource if you're looking for quick little jobs but honestly, it's so hard to trust that you won't be murdered or scammed in todays day and age.

I tried using Craigslist for jobs and didn't really like it all that well. It was like reading the nickel ad except it was online and more spammy. I didn't find a job I was interested in, and didn't really like the website.

Very sketchy job offers. There were several that seemed legitimate, but ultimately they were scams. One example is for Personal Assistants, if they ask you breast and bottom size...that's not an appropriate job classification.

A site that is phasing out. This had such potential but I feel it tried to cover too many bases at once and lost itself. Also, the lack of updates, fees to post, and ability to find certain areas were frustrating and to its detriment. And alas, it is slowly cowering into the shadows of its predecessors.

Craiglist is a great "go-to" when you need to find something urgently. You can tap into all sorts of leads with this service. However, you've got to be careful on there, as scams are common.

This can be a good place to look for local businesses openings but it is riddled with scammers. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Look for ads that are up front with their business name and info.

Craigs list is not as easy to use as it used to be. I can still find things but there are a lot of people trying to sell in sections that are supposed to be for job seekers. When looking for a job I had a difficult time finding out if a company was just selling an item of legitimately looking for employees.

Horrible! The vast majority of job ads are scams to get your email and sell your information or to try to sell you something. There are also all sorts of people that are either backyard breeders who sell sick or stolen animals. Too many scams going on there to list!

In my area craigslist isn’t utilized that much for jobs except for hourly positions or contract work. It isn’t really used for professional career recruiting for jobs.

I haven’t really found any quality jobs on here. When I think of a job this really isn’t the site I think of first. I guess maybe if they branded themselves more on this angle it would help.
