What It Is

RegionalHelpWanted.com is operated by Gold Hill Ventures LLC and is a network of local job boards covering the United States and Canada. The materials state that it has 392/457 regional sites, with examples such as CapitalAreaHelpWanted.com and HudsonValleyHelpWanted.com. Its core goal is to connect local employers with local job seekers, while helping radio and TV media companies generate additional revenue through recruitment classifieds.

Core Features and Product Capabilities

The platform offers job search, job posting, filtering by city/category/company, free resume posting for job seekers, and access for employers to a database of recent local resumes. Employers can enter and pay for recruitment ads through self-service tools, and after posting they can search the resume database for free. Its differentiator is not a complex HR SaaS workflow, but a local traffic model built around “regional sites + radio/TV advertising promotion.” For media partners, RegionalHelpWanted.com handles website maintenance, billing, collections, customer service, telephone sales, and other operations, and provides a password-protected area for viewing revenue.

Pricing and Business Model

The materials disclose that a recruitment ad in the Capital Area region costs US$399 for 30 days. Employers can pay by credit card or request an invoice. For radio/TV partners, the platform uses a revenue-sharing model: broadcasters typically receive 70% of net classified advertising revenue, while the platform retains 30%; if a partner insists on an exclusive arrangement, the split may be adjusted to 65/35. Net revenue is calculated after deducting variable costs such as bank transactions, telephone sales, direct mail/email promotion, ad production, and hosting, with variable costs capped at no more than 20% of gross revenue.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are its clear local positioning, making it suitable for regional SMB employers looking to reach local talent; free use for job seekers, which helps build resume inventory; and integration with radio and TV promotion, which can create offline exposure in local markets. The drawbacks are that the materials do not disclose modern SaaS capabilities such as ATS/HRIS integrations, APIs, enterprise permission systems, or data security certifications. Package information is also limited, and the product is closer to a recruitment classifieds platform.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is suitable for local employers in the United States and Canada, as well as local radio/TV groups that want to turn advertising inventory into recruitment revenue. It is less suitable for companies that need global hiring, automated recruitment workflows, or China-local payment and compliance support. The materials do not specify access from China, and payments are mainly by credit card or invoice. Chinese recruitment alternatives include 51job, Zhaopin, BOSS Zhipin, and Liepin.
