Posting a job

Posting a job puts it in the job board’s listings, where job seekers can find it and apply. You need a company first; if you have none, the form tells you so and links you to add one.

  1. On your employer dashboard, select Add Job.
  2. If the job board sells listings, check the package box at the top. It shows your Total Jobs, Remaining Job and when the package Ends On. Use Change Package to pick another.
  3. Fill in the form. Fields marked with * are required.
  4. If the form shows a terms and conditions box, tick it.
  5. Select Save Job.

The top half of the Add New Job form with Title, Category, Company, Type and Department filled in

If you see A job belongs to a company, and you have not added one yet, add your company first.

The job board chooses which fields appear and which are required. A typical form has:

Category The field of work.
Company Which of your companies is hiring.

Some job boards publish a job as soon as you save it; others check it first. Open My Jobs to see where your job stands:

What you see What it means
Edit Job button The job is approved.
Waiting For Approval The job board is reviewing it. You cannot edit it until it is approved.
Rejected The job board did not approve it. Contact the job board to ask why.

An approved job is shown in the listings from its Start Publishing date to its Stop Publishing date. After the Stop Publishing date it drops out of the listings. To keep it running, edit the job and move Stop Publishing to a later date.
