Pros Since I began using CL 20 years ago, it has become a vital product for many projects, contractor hiring and equipment acquisition. I love the spam and scam protection as well. Cons The quality of acquired assets can be iffy at times and unqualified applicants can be annoying. Reason for choosing Craigslist Posting Lower cost and it's simplicity. Review Source JC Joan C. Operations Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Marketing!" March 3, 2025 5.0 It is very easy to post ads and items for sale on Craigslist. It is great platform since you will receive a lot of inquiries and are able to pick out serious buyers and responders. Pros Craigslist postings are great since they reach a wide range of people in your area. It also allows you to categorize your posting to facilitate searches. Cons In the past years, things like phishing and other scams have become a big issue on many sites. Craigslist does give caution on how to minimize those chances. Alternatives considered [Facebook Apps and Tabs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160208/Facebook-Apps-and-Tabs/)[Instagram](https://www.capterra.com/p/210721/Instagram/) Reason for choosing Craigslist Posting Other products did not match the level of inquiries that craigslist produced. Review Source LV Lena V. Owner Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Craigslist Posting Manager is Outdated " January 18, 2022 2.0 I really wanted to like this software but unfortunately it is missing too many features that we need. There are other features that we do not use that could easily be put aside to focus on more accessibility to other social media platforms. I feel everything must be 100% compatible with Craigslist posting manager and must mostly be used inside the software. There is little integration and syncing with other platforms causing me a lot of wasted time having to make multiple posts. Also, the price is not worth the features given and the limited audience available. The audience that you promote to is also very limited as far as customizing your demographic. I honestly do not like this software. Pros I like that I am able to customize my posts Cons This software is still out of date and lacking many features that most other social media platforms have readily available.

I use CL almost exclusively for recruiting due to the widespread use and reach. The posting manager software helps save me time and hassle. Cons It would be nice to have a mobile application. Review Source Lily W. Personal Assistant Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Needs an app" September 2, 2020 4.0 Pros It makes is easier to anonymously post items for sale and requesting gigs. Cons I think these should be an legit app for Craigslist concidering how long it's been a website. There is also a lot of sketch people using Craigslist. Review Source MW Marcellous W. Fleet/ HR/ Safety Manger Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Craiglist Posting Manager" June 9, 2021 3.0 My experience was average. Nothing stands out to give it that "Wow" factor. But, overall not a bad product. Pros The most I liked about the software is it was very user friendly for everyone. Cons I did not like how people misrepresent themselves on Craigslist. That was very discouraging at times for staff unfortunately. Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) More professional for what we are looking for in the industry. Review Source Rick B. Safety Director/Recruiter Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cheapest Way To Hire" June 14, 2022 3.0 Craigslist is great if you are looking for a low level hire. We use it for jobs that are quite easy to fill without spending the $ that other job boards cost. It is great for the easy hires, but not a source for the more difficult hires that require more tracking. Pros The cost is cheap. You can post a job ad for pennies compared to the other job boards and sometimes find a needle in the haystack. You can highlight your positions at a small additional cost and get them noticed quicker. Since it's not like normal job boards, your posting can get lost in the mix so spending that extra $ is worth it. Cons It's a basic job posting resource. You don't have the ability to track candidates nor search for candidates. Reason for choosing Craigslist Posting I choose Craigslist when I have a hire that isn't terribly difficult to hire without spending a lot of money like other job boards. Review Source Osarumwense I. Assistant Director Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not what i was expecting..." August 9, 2021 3.0 Pros It's been a very long time i used Craigslist Posting Manager, and i liked the fact that it was easy to access. You can easily navigate through its features. Cons I don't have much to say, but i wasn't what i expected. Review Source RL Robert L. Independent contractor Wireless Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Craigslist posting " February 11, 2023 4.0 Pros Easy to post and get items sold and great for people looking to purchase Cons Scammers are everywhere people are always trying to take advantage of the information being posted and if you don’t pay attention to how your posting you’ll find yourself with various spam emails and calls Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Community Outreach Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Okay but could be improved " April 18, 2019 4.0 Over the years the have made some changes that I don’t like. My biggest complaint is that they used to let you advertise for a business free of charge and now have begun to charge for it. Pros Ease of use from you phone rather than a computer. Cons Doesn’t seem consistent on what automatically uploads and what has to be confirmed through email. If your not paying attention to email could miss posting. Review Source DW Daniel W. Owner Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Review" September 8, 2022 5.0 Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Pros I like the simplicity of it, beats going on the website to do anything Cons Craigslist has a lot of bad people and I mean like scammers and stuff Review Source fM francisco M. Community Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ease of use" February 17, 2021 4.0 Have used it several times. We have tried other more expensive options but they were never as productive. Pros Easy to use, update, start, stop. Was intuitive to use. clear format. easy to implement Cons nothing comes to mind. It did what I needed. Review Source DR Dana R. Payroll/HR Admin Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Effective tool for local hiring" November 27, 2018 4.0 Craigslist has helped us cut down on the time and effort needed to find new applicants. Pros Our business industry has a very high turnover, we are having to make multiple job postings and open interviews weekly. Craigslist has allowed us to reach more applicants within the area in a more convenient way. Cons To some the cost may be a little high but since we use it so often, it makes the cost worth it.

Pros This software allows for rapid management of posts to craigslist to sell old equipment and unused materials. Cons It is pretty straightforward in what it will help you with and what it cannot do. Overall pretty useful Review Source DG Dennis G. CSR advocate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I have used craigslist to look up job postings, housing, and even to make purchases for products." June 18, 2018 3.0 looking up job postings, housing for sales/rent, and products that are sold between Individuals. Pros The layout is simple and easy to read. You can adjust your search parameters to find postings in your immediate area or far away. They even have photos of products, cars, etc. It is an example of how an online store should look like. Cons I do not like how sellers do not some kind of rating so as to show if they are reliable. I have heard stories of misleading information products that come in the mail that do not match what was on the site. Review Source TD Tara D. Admin Automotive Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy to use" September 3, 2019 3.0 Pros The software is easy to use. Allows you to customize your layout and descriptions for postings. Automatically posts ads so you don't have to manually. Good for companies who have lots of ads going out. Tracks your leads. Cons Expensive and not worth it if you do not have a lot of postings going out per month. It would be beneficial to have a messaging feature. Review Source CH Cat H. Manager Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Craig’s List" September 12, 2019 4.0 It’s always good to post on there just Incase, but it’s not my main source of recruiting. Pros I like that you get a diverse pool of people that apply to the job, and that most people already know about Craigslist. Cons I mostly hate the aesthetics, and that not many people answer back to ads, if any. It’s hit or miss. Review Source DD Douglas D. IT / internet director Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Nice tool for posting on Craigslist. " June 28, 2018 5.0 Pros Easy program to navigate and use. Makes selling on Craigslist easy for the novice and helps us generate a few more sales per month. Support is responsive Cons Price is a bit expensive if you don't post regularly. But why buy a product like this if you aren't committed to Craigslist advertising. Review Source MA Michelle A. Administrative Assistant Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Craigslist has what you are looking for!" October 29, 2019 5.0 Like I mentioned before, I received five jobs from applications I submitted through Craigslist. If you want to get technical, over the past 10 years of my personal use of Craigslist I would estimate I was selected for a job interview 15 different times and from those interviews was offered the job position nine different times. There was a period where I went a little crazy with applications and was interviewing at five different places within the same week and of those five, four contacted me with an offer resulting in having to choose between them. It is also a great place to sell and buy used cars and I personally know many people who have done both with great success. As long as you are smart about what you are inquiring to purchase you should have no problems. Always make sure to read everything and do not be afraid to ask the poster any questions you may have. 9/10 you will be met with a friendly person willing to answer whatever you need. I highly recommend Craigslist. Pros I've always had a special place in my heart for Craigslist. It has was created in 1995 although it feels like it was always the place to go for your differing needs. From being able to sell your stuff, searching for jobs, the various different services offered and purchasing things, this site offers it all! I primarily have used it for job postings and it did not disappoint! I have secured five different jobs in the past 10 years due to a job listing I found and applied for through Craigslist. It has a very easy to use interface and I love the option of filtering what you are searching for to your specific criteria. My sister purchased our Newfoundland dog Bubba from a posting she saw on Craigslist from another state (he was in Ohio and we live in Michigan). She was so impressed with the pictures that she had seen and the description given of the kind of pet owner they were looking to sell to that she responded right away requesting to go pick him up! It is also very excellent about staying updated with new postings as soon as they have received them. You can count on Craigslist to keep you informed of the positions open in your field and area. You can also save each posting for later viewing if you find yourself not ready to apply/reply to it at that moment in time. Sometimes I used the normal website and other times I have used the App that I downloaded on my phone years ago. Either way, I am always satisfied. Cons I am overall very satisfied with Craigslist and I honestly do not like to say anything negative about it but there is one thing I will advise anyone who is navigating it for the first time to be aware of - scammers. They are everywhere and sometimes they are clever and sometimes they are absolutely ridiculous. They come in all shapes and forms and use every trick in the book to try and scam someone out of their hard earned money. Personally I feel as long as you are aware of this that you should have no problem avoiding those lowlifes. It is not Craigslist fault that the world is full of people who try to get something for nothing.

Program Development Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Craig's List - as one option " September 22, 2022 3.0 We've found many quality employees through Craig's List postings, but wouldn't recommend it to be your only method of recruiting and hiring. Craig's List is under-advertised and many people may not know what it is, or that you can find jobs there. Other job posting websites have more public advertisements. So with less visibility, it wouldn't be the most effective to use that as the only way. However, it may reach a more diverse group of candidates and supplement options very much. Pros We like that it's very simple and quick to make an ad. We use Craig's List to post ads for hiring. It is inexpensive compared to other job posting options. Also, Craig's List is easier to navigate than other job posting websites, so we find a more diverse range of candidates who apply. We also like that we don't have to provide our direct email address; you can communicate through the website without disclosing personal information. This helps protect our company and reduce spam or other issues. Cons There are many fake ads on Craig's List, which deters some people from looking for a job on there. There tends to be more scamming and spam.

I have got things taken care of using this sofware that I needed to get done. I would definetly reccomend to any business. Pros The ease of use of the software is pretty easy to use..It does what you need t to do. Cons Can't say any real cons about the software, but there is definetly mush better software on the market. Reason for choosing Craigslist Posting I choose craigslist because its a name and company everybody knows. Review Source SP Scott P. Owner Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Posting cars " January 13, 2023 4.0 Most of the time people will reach out and not come and meet you when planned Pros Easy to implement and quickly post cars that you have from phone or internet pictures Cons Too many scammers out there so people tend to be afraid to buy sometimes Review Source TN Tamara N.

I am able to post as many ads and respond instantly to any active seeker that likes my Ad. Cons No cons. I really enjoy this site I find it to be very easy to use for non-tech savvy older folks.
