BSSS Job Board

Review:

The BSSS job board is a specialized job posting service offered by the British Society of Soil Science. While the platform lacks significant features, including social media sharing, applicant tracking, and candidate matching, its niche audience and standard employer branding options allow employers to connect with their desired candidates faster.

Pros:

• BSSS members can post unlimited vacancies for free.
• The platform offers a targeted hiring approach to help recruit candidates with expertise in soil science.
• Despite being a members-only organization, the job board is accessible to nonmembers.
• Employers can include a company logo to improve the job ad's credibility.
• The BSSS provides access to the latest news and events, awards, and grants.
• Compared to competitors, including the ICF job board, the BSSS job board is more affordable.

Cons:

• The platform does not offer bulk job postings or featured listings.
• The BSSS job board is missing an applicant tracking system and a CV database.
• There are no free job posting options for nonmembers.
• Customer support is only available via email.
• The BSSS job board lacks social media promotion and job ad distribution.
