Job boards for PHP developers - authenticjobs.com
June 11, 2008
AuthenticJobs.com has been going since 2005, and continually has a steady stream of new job listings for all types of web developers. AuthenticJobs is not a PHP-specific board, but I’ve found a good number of the postings there involve PHP in one form or another.
Downsides - I don’t recall ever seeing a post there that listed a pay range. I may have missed some, but my experience has been the posts are a bit more laid back, but also don’t include the topic of money. I also haven’ seen a ’search’ function on the site.
Upsides - there are two values that you can use to narrow the listings. There are two checkboxes indicating “design” or “development” types of jobs. Checking or unchecking either one will dynamically add or remove the appropriate listings. There’s also a set of tabs at the top for “All”, “Fulltime” and “Freelance”, which let you further narrow down the listings you see. Need to see just freelance development gigs? It’s pretty easy to do so.
Posting a job is not free - $250 for a 30 day listing for fulltime listings. Freelance listings will only run you $75 for the same 30 days. Same price whether the gig is “design” or “development” though. Your listing will be syndicated among many top design sites - the network is not very heavy on traditional “programming” sites. Given the audience that your listing will be exposed to, the pricing is certainly in line with many other sites. Having the price break for ‘freelance’ listings is a nice touch as well.
