Tech Job Board Pricing Guide

Posting jobs is still a necessary evil in the recruiting world. Finding the best job boards is tough enough. Once you locate the job board you want to post on, how much will it cost you? The answer is as varied as the number of job boards out there, but the cost is anywhere between free and  $495.  In my effort to answer this question, I researched tech job boards I was able to find online and created this quick list.
