For Maine Employers
Hire local without feeding the meter.
Indeed charges you per click — whether or not you hire anyone. 207Hire is one flat price, every applicant is local, and applications land directly in your inbox. Built by a Bangor small business owner who got tired of paying more for less.

An honest comparison from someone who's spent real money on both sides.
| 207Hire | Indeed | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Flat $50/month per job — that's it | Pay-per-click auction, typically $300–$750/mo per sponsored job |
| Applicants | Maine residents only — the board is Maine-only by design | Anyone, anywhere; mass one-click applies and bots |
| Who owns the candidate | You — applications go straight to your email | Indeed — messaging locked in their inbox, contact info gated |
| Visibility | Every job visible; posts never buried by an auction | Free posts buried within days unless you pay to sponsor |
| Support | Text or email a real person in Bangor, same-day | Ticket queues and chatbots |
| Stale listings | Everything expires at 30 days — candidates trust the board | Ghost jobs and aggregator listings everywhere |
| Results guarantee | No qualified applicants in 30 days → next post free | None |
One flat price. No meter. No surprises.
A single month of a sponsored Indeed post ($300–$750) pays for 6–15 months of 207Hire.
