Colorado Bar Association Job Board

Review:

The Colorado Bar Association job board is quite basic and lacks advanced tools, such as a candidate resume database and bulk posting options. The platform is useful for housing a broad range of legal talent in the state, and there are over 18,000 current members. However, it is unclear how many job seekers the job board attracts.

Pros:

• Members can post jobs at a discounted rate.
• A job posting price of $200.00 is more affordable than competitors such as Lawjobs.com.
• Members enjoy various benefits, including access to conferences, networking opportunities, and resource sharing.
• Employers can pay extra to create a border around their job post for increased visibility.
• At the time of writing, there were over 60 jobs on the job board — a good number for a niche job board.
• The focus on Colorado makes the job board a central hub for finding legal talent in the state.
• Prominent law firms in Colorado use the Colorado Bar Association job board for their legal recruiting.
• The job board caters to all legal positions, from paralegals to senior associates, and more.
• Employers can choose their post duration, incurring $350.00 for every 30 days.

Cons:

• There are no free job posting options.
• Employers must disclose salary information in their job posts.
• There are no bulk posting options for companies hiring at scale.
• Listings are not distributed to other job boards for greater reach.
• Employer profiles are not brandable.
• Vacancies are not shared on the company's social media accounts for added reach.

Reputation:

The Colorado Bar Association is a respected organization with around 18,500 members, but we were unable to find any online reviews of their job board.
