Posting to Job Boards
Just click the "Post to Job Boards" button and select any plan. We ask for a credit card to validate your account and allow for a seamless transition if you decide to keep your account active past 4 days (i.e. we won’t have to take your job posting offline to wait for your credit card). If you decide to cancel before the free trial ends you will not be charged anything. You can keep whatever candidates you receive.

Job slots represent the number of jobs you can have live on the job boards at any given time. For example, if you are on a ZipRecruiter plan with 3 job slots, you can post 3 jobs today and replace them with 3 different jobs tomorrow without needing any more slots. You can freely swap jobs in and out of these slots by closing and posting jobs as needed. If you need additional job slots just select a higher plan on the
Select Plan page.

ZipRecruiter distributes jobs to
100+ of the most visited job boards, websites and social networks on the Internet. We are always adding more job boards and sources of job seeker traffic to expand the audience for your job posting(s).
Jobs are posted to these 100+ partner sites in one of 3 ways:
* Your jobs are automatically distributed via job feeds to our more traditional partners.
* You can handpick which Social Networks to post your jobs on through your account. Twitter postings can be automated with a single authentication.
* You can select specific jobs to post to Monster for an additional fee.

You can view our job board partners at
ZipRecruiter.com/job-boards. We automatically send your active jobs to all of the job boards listed under "Job Boards". Sponsored boards and Veteran Boards are not included in your subscription. Sponsored and Veteran boards require an additional fee in addition to your current subscription.

The way search results are displayed for job seekers varies among our job board partners. In general, ads are displayed based on relevancy, not posting date. To ensure that your ad is easily found by the right candidates reach out to our Customer Success team. You can also try one of our
trafficboosts to ensure maximum visibility.

ZipRecruiter sends your job promptly to all of our job board partners. Sometimes, you don’t see your ad because the board in question has not yet updated their pages. Different job boards update with different frequencies and can show different results depending on the search terms used. In some cases, their search engine may not display your job ad on the search terms you would expect. Once we deliver the job, the frequency with which it is shown is controlled by the partner entirely, not by Ziprecruiter.

Trafficboost will put your job into sponsored feeds across all of the job boards in the ZipRecruiter Distribution network and is a great option when you need a flood of candidates, fast. Your job is also promoted in our daily email alerts sent to 25 million+ active job seekers. With each "TrafficBoost" you can get up to 100 unique visitors to your job posting. Additionally, a TrafficBoost will not post your job to other job boards or promote your job on Monster.
^ TOP
From the
Jobs page, you can purchase 1 TrafficBoost credit by clicking on "Boost Job" next to your job ad or the "Promote This Job" icon underneath your job ad. Select "Single Boost" and simply follow the steps to purchase your boost.
^ TOP
Each boost will deliver up to 100 extra visitors to your job ad. Double and triple boost means your ad will stay high in search results, longer across both our distribution network and job alerts while we try to get to 200 or 300 clicks respectively. We can’t always guarantee these results, but the system makes every effort over a 30-day period to deliver.
^ TOP
The primary criteria for matching is: geography, the quality of the job match to the seeker’s job alert and the freshness of the ad. Jobs that are TrafficBoosted will be shown to many more job-seekers.
^ TOP
Yes, you can add a Custom Apply URL for each job you post. Just select the "Custom Apply URL" option on the Edit Job page and enter the URL that points directly to the application page created by your ATS.

In some cases a job ad is either in a smaller geographic location or in a category for which there are less job seekers on job boards. In these instances, the ZipRecruiter system does everything possible to max out the delivered results, but may not be able to deliver the full 100 clicks. If your TrafficBoost fails to meet its requirement please feel free to contact our Success Team for assistance.

Great question! While we strive to be as transparent as possible in every aspect of our business, each partner has their own preference about the use of their logo and name for various different reasons. We update the number of partners to provide insight into our continuous efforts to expand the reach for your job ads and ask every partner for authorization to share their logo. Unfortunately, not all partners provide that authorization.

We encourage employers to make their job ads clear and concise.
You can easily organize your position’s responsibilities and requirements with bullet points, numbered lists, and other formatting tools
we have available. It can be helpful to add benefits, salary range, and perks to make your job more appealing, but it is important to
stay on message. Job descriptions that are too extensive and detailed can result in unqualified candidates because
requirements can be easily overlooked. On the other hand, jobs that are too ambiguous and vague can discourage candidates from applying because
there’s not enough information about the position. For more helpful ideas
check out
"How Do I Write a Job Description" on our Hiring Resources page.
Title:
The best title will be short, sweet, and to the point. A few, specific words relating to the position is all you need! Remember: Job seekers may be searching any/all keywords related to your position. You might even consider creating a few job ads with different titles to cover all search options. Also, add any/every keyword you think applies in the title and/or job description.
Be sure not to include extraneous symbols, your company name, or a web address in your title. These additions are often flagged by our job board partners.
Location:
It's always beneficial to place your job under the largest metropolis within roughly 25 miles from where the job is. This assists with search algorithms and gets you higher up on the search pages. You can always include: 'Actual Job Location: ____' in your job description if you're worried about misrepresenting your official office location.
Additionally, if you're posting the same job ad multiple times, be sure each location is unique and also at least 25 miles away from the other locations. (If you post the same ad in the same city more than once, this can be viewed as spam by our job board partners.) Another easy way to avoid this issue is to tweak the title on each duplicate job ad you post so it appears unique to our partners.
Job Description:
An example of a good format for your job description might be: 1) Brief overview of the position, 2) Overview of day-to-day responsibilities, 3) Requirements that must be met in order to apply. A few questions you might consider addressing in your job ad: is this position full time or part time? Is this position entry level or is experience required?
Also, A job seeker is more likely to apply if they can get an idea of pay structure and benefits. Specific numbers aren't necessary, but why not include whether this is a Salaried or Hourly position? Or if there are any health insurance benefits? Free coffee? Mileage stipend?
Length:
The length of your job ad will be a case by case decision but we normally recommend you keep your job around 2-3 paragraphs. A few sentences won't communicate the full spectrum of the job and several paragraphs can seem overwhelming or time consuming to job seekers. Think like a job seeker: Would you want to read a novel? Would you be comfortable applying to a job that is only a sentence or two long? What pertinent information are you looking for in the job ad and how much length is necessary to communicate it?
Hiring Company Description:
Use it! This is a great place to communicate your company history, goals, and practices without cluttering up your job ad with them.
^ TOP
Your ads are open indefinitely, and will not be taken down till you close them or cancel your subscription. If you notice traffic to your ads is decreasing I it's a quick fix to refresh your job postings, just close the job and select the "Duplicate Job" button. This copies the content of your job but gives it a fresh date. You can then post your duplicate job and it is sent off to our job board partners as a new posting. We recommend doing this, at most, once a month and only if you notice a decrease in traffic.
^ TOP
The name of your company does not have to be displayed but you cannot have the hiring company listed as Confidential, Undisclosed, Anonymous, etc. It’s best to change the hiring company name to something along the lines of your industry. For example Doctor’s Office, Law Firm, Major Manufacturer still explain the nature of your business, but do not directly disclose your identity.

We'd love to take a look at your account and help you optimize your job for the best possible results.

Select the category that best fits your job, and if your job happens to fall into more than one, don’t worry. The category you select is not as important as your job’s title and description, so your choice will not harm your job’s performance. It’s best to remain simple and straightforward with title and description so your job is easily found by interested, qualified candidates. Keywords in the job title as well as the job description help yield your job in a job seeker’s search results, so it is important both are in line with the position you are hiring for. Ask yourself: "If I was looking for a position like this, what terms would I search?".
^ TOP
Job performance is based on a lot of factors and varies depending on industry and location. We encourage clear and concise job descriptions and titles. If you’d like to drive more candidates to your position a TrafficBoost will help get you results fast. A single TrafficBoost credit can drive up to 100 additional visitors to your ad. If you apply a TrafficBoost to a job, it is then included in job alert emails to job seekers in your area. Your job is only sent to job seekers that have alerts relevant to your position, so it is a great way to reach local candidates who are interested in jobs like yours.
^ TOP
If your job is in a smaller city or town, posting your job in the largest neighboring city is a great way to get more exposure. If you have available job slots you can post your job multiple times in nearby cities to reach a larger pool of candidates. If you do so, make sure that the cities are at least 25 miles apart from each other. If jobs are identical and too close in proximity, they are viewed as duplicates by our job board partners and will not be posted. If you don’t want to venture out that far, you can post the job again, just make sure you re-word the job description so your jobs read differently. See: “What should I include in my job description?” above for tips you can follow to help maximize your exposure.

In order to avoid job seekers leaving your job page before applying, we recommend you remove any website URLs and/or contact info from your job ad. Giving job seekers these 'redirection options' can distract them from the simple application process which is set up automatically on your job page. In many cases, if a job seeker is redirected to a website to apply or given an email address to send their resume too, they can be lost in the process of leaving your job page and taking those extra steps to send their resume through.

Look at your job through “Job Seeker Glasses.” If you were on the job hunt, what keywords would you search in order to pull up this position? What would you be looking for in the title and job description that would draw you in to apply? What pertinent information would you want included? This is the best way to create a relatable job ad that job seekers will be attracted to!
^ TOP
It is best that you do not close the ad while Monster, and/or TrafficBoosts are currently active. This will result in the loss of your sponsored purchase. You can edit and save the changes to your job ads at any time. Posting the saved edits to Monster, requires clicking on the Monster icon and then clicking update Monster ad button.

Managing Candidates
Every time someone applies to your job through ZipRecruiter you are sent a notification via email. The notification is sent to you as soon as a job seeker applies so you can stay updated on your candidates in real time. These emails include general information like a candidate’s name, email address, phone number, and their resume is included as an attachment. Their complete application is saved inside your ZipRecruiter account for you reference when you log on.
^ TOP
No! Every plan we offer allows an unlimited number of candidates to apply to each job.
^ TOP
Having your contact information listed is not necessary since we send you New Candidate Alert emails as job seekers apply. ZipRecruiter does not display any of your contact information unless you explicitly state it in your job title, description, or hiring company information. We strongly advise against adding your contact information to your job because it is a public ad and can be easily found using a basic search engine. This means you may be subject to spam and bombarding phone calls or emails if your contact information is displayed. Also, job seekers can be contacting you directly and circumventing the application process on ZipRecruiter, so the amount of candidates displayed on your job may not be accurate.
^ TOP
Our Custom Apply URL feature will direct candidates straight to your online application when they hit the "Apply" button. Although there is an option to input a Custom Apply URL, we suggest you give it a try after your trial. Some of our job board partners do not accept jobs with a Custom Apply URL, and we wouldn’t want it to negatively affect your traffic.

We cannot prevent anyone from applying to your job, but you can add interview questions to help filter out unqualified candidates. These questions will appear to job seekers as they go through the application process, and their answers are displayed for you when reviewing their candidate page. You can even make certain questions deal breaker questions. This means if a candidate answers a questions incorrectly, they are automatically hidden from your list of candidates. They are still saved in your account for you to reference if you’d like, but they are not included in your general candidate pool. To add an interview click on the title of the job, and then select the "Add Interview" tab. If you’d like to make a question a deal-breaker select the "Deal-Breaker Question" box underneath your answers.

A new job posting can take up to 24 hours to appear on outside job boards after you have posted. If you still haven’t received any candidates after this time period, please make sure your phone number and/or email address are NOT in the job description. This is because many candidates will call or email you directly rather than applying through ZipRecruiter. We distribute your job and provide the best advice we can about writing quality job titles and descriptions, but we can’t guarantee applicants.

Incomplete simply means the candidate did not complete all of the interview questions you added to your job ad.

Each Hiring Company also has a unique page listing all the open jobs for that Hiring Company. To manage your Hiring Companies, go to the Settings ->
Hiring Companies page.

Hiring Companies page. Select the Hiring Company you would like to edit, then click the "Browse..." button next to the Company Logo field. Next, select the logo file on your computer (GIF, JPG or PNG are the recommended file format choices, and sizes of 100px or less in either direction are best).
