Ask Is it worth paying to post a job on platforms like WeWorkRemotely?

[Edward22]

Companies that want to attract quality freelancers have many platforms to choose from, and some of them charge a good amount just to post a single listing. Whether that money is well spent probably depends on the type of role and the kind of candidates you are hoping to attract. Some hiring managers swear by paid job boards while others say free options work just as well. Has anyone here paid to post on a platform like WeWorkRemotely, and did the quality of applicants make it worth the cost?
