Question

Just trying to guage the potential of craigslist. I am wondering if I posted a job available ad in chicago craigslist, how many responses can I expect on average, assuming the job was very simple and could be done by almost anyone with a computer.

Answer 1

50 this is my guesstimate as i had posed typist job offers before in Toronto area

Answer 2

The more information you can provide, the better chances of finding someone actually qualified for the position.

You can also improve the quality / look of your job ad at jobadmaker.com. It's designed for improving the look of craigslist job ads.

Craigslist gets get seo placement in google, so using a title that is a popular search term "chicago computer job available" along with those sprinkled in the ad could help get a stronger response than just craigslist search activity.

Good luck!

Answer 3

A lot.  As above, you honestly could expect anywhere from 10 to 100 people.  That's the amount I would guess.
