Best Niche Job Sites

Indeed was founded in 2004 and is the largest job website in the world, with 250 million monthly users and 10 new job listings added every second. Although it’s not dedicated to one specific niche, as the largest job site, the odds are very good that you’ll be able to find what you’re looking for on Indeed, which is why we chose it as best overall.

Indeed posts listings for every industry, every level, and every time commitment. Candidates can search by title, location, salary range, date posted, and years of experience. The site also has a salary comparison tool and a company reviews section, so you can conduct more thorough research when looking for a new role. Indeed is completely free for job seekers.

Founded in 2010, ZipRecruiter has been used by over 2.8 million businesses and more than 110 million job seekers. ZipRecruiter is our runner-up because its search function and artificial intelligence capabilities do an excellent job at returning results that match more niche keywords. Job seekers can search for positions by keyword, date posted, salary bracket, company, location, and employment type. 

ZipRecruiter also has a separate salary research tool, so you can see how much people are earning across any niche. ZipRecruiter’s tools are free for everyone.

FlexJobs posts part-time, full-time, and freelance positions across all experience levels and major industries.
