Review:

Dribbble offers a large membership pool that showcases the work of talented designers in 170 countries. While Dribbble predominantly caters to the U.S. job market, Australian employers are able to share their projects and post job vacancies.

Having said that, Dribbble is more expensive than local job boards and uses a subscription-based pricing structure that does not offer refunds. However, the site has received good reviews and offers great reach for employers looking to hire remote workers.

Employers can post both job vacancies or freelance projects.

Dribbble offers search filters and hiring tools for searching for suitable candidates.

Cons:

Pricing is only available in U.S. dollars.
The website lacks robust tools like applicant tracking and candidate management.
There is no social media sharing or phone support available.
Despite being based in 170 countries, the site does not support language translation.
Dribbble support is only available via email and their hours are not specified on the website.
Compared to other Australian job boards for creatives, Dribbble is the more expensive option.

Dribbble vs. ArtsHub Jobs:

ArtsHub Jobs is a local job board that is more affordable than Dribbble and allows employers to post creative jobs in various categories. With Dribbble, employers have access to a large candidate pool and a job board. However, Dribbble is exclusively for designers, which will only benefit employers who are looking to hire in a niche field.

Dribbble vs. Pedestrian Jobs:

Pedestrian Jobs and Dribbble both cater to creative professionals, but while Dribbble is a job posting site for designers, Pedestrian Jobs caters to jobs in the creative media market. Between the two competitors, Dribbble offers the widest reach, but the platform is costlier, with prices starting at US$150.00 per month.

Dribbble vs. Behance:

Behance is similar to Dribbble in that it is a portfolio website and job posting site for creative professionals. Behance is the more affordable option with free job postings and offers similar features to Dribbble, including a candidate database and the ability to save your favorite profiles.
