To post a job on Facebook, create it from your Page, from Marketplace (including its Jobs tab), in a group, or from a post on your Feed or profile, using the mobile app. The catch: Facebook says Jobs is a feature currently being tested for select people in select US cities, so you may not see the option at all.
That's the bit most guides skip: right now, Facebook's own help describes a limited test. Here's what Facebook's Help Center says, read in October 2026, and what to do if the option isn't there for you.
Where you can post a job on Facebook
| Where | Best for |
|---|---|
| Your Facebook Page | Businesses hiring under their brand name |
| Marketplace, or its Jobs tab | Reaching local people browsing jobs |
| A group | Niche or local community groups |
| A post on your Feed or profile | Personal jobs, like a landscaper for your home |
Facebook's help lists both personal and business jobs. Its own examples are a landscaper for your home and a barista for a coffee shop you manage. Creating a job is a mobile feature: Facebook says it isn't available on computers.
How to post a job on Facebook, step by step
- Open the Facebook app on your phone.
- Go to your Page, Marketplace, a group, or start a post.
- Look for the option to create a job (on Marketplace, try the Jobs tab).
- Describe the role clearly and fully, including what the person will do.
- Check it against Facebook's rules below, then publish.
If you're hiring as a business, set up a Page first. Here's how to create a Facebook business Page.
Who can use Facebook jobs right now
Facebook's About jobs page says the feature may not be available in your location, and that Jobs is a new feature being tested for select people in select cities in the US. So if you're in the UK, Australia or Canada, or in a US city that isn't part of the test, don't be surprised if there's no job option.
Who sees your job post
- Jobs are public and can be seen by anyone on or off Facebook, including on Pages, Marketplace, Feed and other Meta platforms such as Instagram.
- Jobs are meant for people aged 18 or older and are shown to adults on Facebook.
- Some jobs on Marketplace come from third-party partners, and applicants are sent to the partner's website.
When someone messages you from your listing, Facebook says you can see their Jobs Profile, even if they've switched off discoverability.
Jobs Facebook doesn't allow on Marketplace
This is the list that catches small businesses out. Facebook prohibits these job categories on Marketplace:
- Adult entertainment.
- In-person childcare, including nannies, babysitters, teachers and teaching assistants.
- Modelling, including underage modelling.
- Personal training.
- Physical therapy.
- Personal wellness, including estheticians and masseuses, with the exception of barbers and hair and nail salons.
- Travel, including flight attendants, cabin crew, travel agents and tour guides.
It also removes job posts aimed at minors, fraudulent schemes such as get-rich-quick or multi-level marketing offers, anything misleading, hateful or discriminatory, and listings that aren't about a real job. Job posts must clearly and fully describe the job.
If you can't post a job on Facebook
Don't worry if the job tools aren't available to you. You can still share a vacancy as an ordinary post on your Page, in relevant local groups that allow it, and on your own profile. Ask friends and staff to share it. A Page with more followers carries a vacancy further, so it's worth building: here are tips to get more followers on a Facebook business Page. It won't have the structured job format, but a clear post shared by the right people can still reach plenty of local candidates.
Write a job post people reply to
- Say the job title and location in the first line.
- Explain what the person will do day to day.
- Say how to apply and what to send.
- Keep it fair and lawful: Facebook says job creators must comply with applicable laws and must not discriminate.
Applicants: what employers can see
If you're on the other side and applying, know what you share. Facebook says that when you message an employer from a job listing, they can see your Jobs Profile, and once you've saved it, they can see it when you message them even if you've turned discoverability off. Applying through a third-party partner sends your details to that partner and the employer.

My advice
Check the Marketplace Jobs tab on your phone first. If it's there, use it. If it isn't, don't waste an afternoon hunting for it: post the role on your Page and in good local groups, and make the first line do the work.
