Do I have to fill out all the fields of the job ad?

No, only the required fields, which are marked with a red circle and arrow. All other details are optional.

I created an ad, but it does not show up in search results. Why?

Did you save your ad in draft form? You must "run your ad" in order for it to show. Go to My Account and click on Run ad to the left of the ad you wish to run. The system will ask for your credit card information, and your ad will run as soon as your payment is processed.

How do I add my corporate logo in the address field?

Click on My Account on the home page. At the top of the My Employment Account page, you will see Your Profile. Click on Update Your Profile and Privacy Options. Scroll down to Your Logo to attach a logo. It will appear on all your ads in the Address field.

For Job Seekers
Do I have to register to use the site?

No, you are welcome to browse and search ads without registering. It is still worth registering, however, to save time, as the site will remember various preferences for you. Registration is of course free.

Can I upload a resume but make it private?

Yes. If you set your resume to private, no current or prospective employer will be able to see your resume, but you will still be able to use it to apply for jobs.

Privacy
What is your privacy policy?

See Privacy Policy for details.

I don't want my name, phone number or email address to appear on your site. What should I do?

You can have all your personal information remain private. Update your personal privacy preferences from the My Account page. You can also check "Hide all Contact Information."

If all my information is private how can an employer contact me?

The employer completes an online form and the system sends you an email without revealing your information.
