Why people look past ASCE Career Connections

Resume database access comes only with the top package, starting at $985 for 30 days. The member discount must be activated by ASCE, and ASCE does not refund missed discounts after checkout.

What we noted

  • Resume search only on the top package
  • Entry price of $655 for 30 days
  • Discount needs manual activation, with no refund if missed

Not the right fit for

  • Software engineering roles
  • Low-budget single postings
  • Teams needing resume search on a basic package

Worth keeping in mind: All four packages and their 30, 60 and 90-day prices are published. The top package places jobs next to engineering journals on the Wiley Online Library, which ASCE says reaches the 73% of its audience not actively job hunting. ASCE reports 1.7x the applications per vacancy on that package compared with the entry tier.

What each one does differently

ASME Career Center

$499/posting

Why it comes up: ASME Career Center targets mechanical engineers and starts at $499, with free internship postings on request.

Stands out: Internship postings are free on request, which helps university and early career recruiting. Job Flash emails put openings in front of mechanical engineers, and bulk credit packages lower the per-posting cost for repeat hiring.

Watch out: At $499 to start, a single posting costs more than many general boards. Free internships and credit discounts go through a sales contact rather than self-serve checkout.

Best for

  • Mechanical engineering roles
  • Engineering internship recruiting
  • Employers targeting ASME members

IEEE Job Site

$449/posting

Why it comes up: IEEE Job Site targets electrical and computing engineers, with postings from $449 and single resume purchases.

Stands out: Job Flash emails put a job or banner in front of IEEE members, which IEEE says can raise candidate volume by up to 500%. You can buy a single resume instead of a full database subscription. Checkout adds diversity, veteran and aggregator distribution without a separate vendor.

Watch out: Starting at $449 per posting, it costs more than many general boards for a single opening. Individual product prices are shown only in the cart flow, so compare the full package cost before buying.

Best for

  • Electrical and electronics engineering roles
  • Employers targeting IEEE members
  • Teams that want member email reach

iHireEngineering

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: iHireEngineering covers every engineering discipline on one commercial board instead of a civil-only society audience.

Stands out: Industry-specific engineering community with AI matching and partner distribution to Indeed and Google.

Watch out: There is no public dollar table for employer job slots. Freelance work takes an 8 percent fee.

Best for

  • Employers hiring engineers who want a niche board
  • TA teams that already use an ATS among 50-plus connections
  • Companies that want unlimited users on a job-slot plan
