Post Jobs for Free - openHR's Onboarding Module

28 Jun 2025
At openHR, we believe employment should be affordable, accessible, and inclusive - especially in South Africa, where every new job created can change a life. That’s why our HR and payroll platform has always been 100% free. No trials. No limits. No catches.

Today, we’re thrilled to take that mission even further with the launch of our Onboarding Module, featuring one of our most exciting updates yet:

The ability to post job ads publicly on openHR - completely free.

Yes, you read that right. You can now advertise job openings across South Africa with zero cost, zero paperwork, and zero platform-switching.

Why Free Job Ads Matter

Recruitment can be one of the costliest challenges for growing businesses - whether you’re a small startup or a nationwide enterprise. Fees for job boards, placement services, and recruitment tools can add up quickly. That’s where openHR steps in.
 
With our new onboarding update, you can:

  • Create a job post in seconds
  • Publish it instantly to openHR’s public job board
  • Reach thousands of monthly visitors actively looking for opportunities
  • Accept applications - including CVs, cover letters, and certifications - automatically

No middlemen. No uploading to third-party websites. No hidden fees.

From Job Post to First Day - All-in-One, All for Free

This isn’t just a posting tool. It’s a full hiring pipeline. The Onboarding Module allows you to:

  • Review applications and documents in one dashboard
  • Schedule interviews and shortlist candidates
  • Send digital job offers directly through the platform
  • Generate contracts and onboard new hires seamlessly
  • Provide welcome packets with org charts, policies, and more

Even if you’re not yet using openHR for payroll or employee management, you can still use the Onboarding Module.

All you need is:

  1. A company profile (just a trade name and currency),
  2. A job role created under Service > Jobs, and
  3. Create the Job Post from the Onboarding Console

From there, your job ad is live and searchable.
 
A Platform With Purpose

We built this feature because we’re serious about supporting employment in South Africa. openHR is proudly local, proudly free, and proudly built to help businesses remove red tape - not wrap themselves in it.

So if you're hiring, let us help you reach more candidates while saving money and time.

Post your first free job ad today at openHR.co.za.

Let’s grow together - one job at a time.
