Review:
Nature Careers, the industry publication Nature's job board for advertising scientific roles, offers several job posting options with an extended job post duration of 60 days, an employer profile, and email alerts to relevant, subscribed job seekers. Additional features for increased visibility are available with the Enhanced and Premium plans.
Employers can also make use of branding solutions and annual subscriptions that include automated postings, but the site lacks a searchable resume database. However, in contrast to some of its competitors, such as ResearchCareer and the Life Science Network Jobs, the platform is rather costly.
Pros:
- Employers can choose from several plans tailored to different hiring needs.
- Job ads are shared with registered job seekers via email alerts.
- The site offers a longer-than-average job post duration of 60 days.
- Employer branding and content solutions are available.
- Enhanced job ads stand out with a colored background.
- The Premium plan includes AI-powered email alerts to candidates who have applied for similar roles.
- Employers get a 15% discount when they purchase a pack of five Enhanced listings.
Cons:
- There is no free job posting plan.
- The five-pack of Enhanced listings must be used within 90 days of purchase.
- The site does not have a searchable resume database or an applicant tracking system.
- The job posting service is costlier than several niche competitors.
- Pricing is not available in Australian dollars.
- The platform does not list a dedicated phone support channel for Australia.

Nature Careers vs. ResearchCareer:
ResearchCareer is a local job site, whereas Nature Careers is an international portal. ResearchCareer promotes job ads on social media and distributes them to other sites, which is something Nature Careers lacks. With a starting price of A$210.00 +GST per post, ResearchCareer is also more affordable than Nature Careers' US$839.00 per post.
Nature Careers vs. Life Science Network Jobs:
Unlike Nature Careers, Life Science Network Jobs features a recruitment system that allows employers to process candidates' applications online and streamline the hiring process. Life Science Network Jobs is the more affordable of the two, with prices starting at US$245.00 per post, compared to Nature Careers' starting price of US$839.00 per post.
Nature Careers vs. ScienceCareers:
While neither site lists pricing in Australian dollars, ScienceCareers stands out with the more affordable starting price of US$630.00 per post, compared to Nature Careers' starting price of US$839.00 per post. ScienceCareers has the better feature profile, which includes resume searches and 90-day job ads.
