POSTING A JOB

We use a system where credits are purchased to post jobs as needed. You can purchase between one and 25 credits. The more credits you buy, the more you save.

Do credits expire?
No. Credits do not expire. However, once a credit is used to post a job, that job will expire after 30 days on the site.

How do I know how many credits I have?
When in ‘My Working World’ a blue box indicates the number of remaining credits. When you use all your credits, you will be prompted to purchase more.

What size should the graphic header be?
The image should be at least 657 pixels wide and 260 pixels tall, but the system will automatically resize your file to fit as long as long as it’s wide enough and less than 2 MB. The image should be 72-dpi in a GIF, JPG or PNG file.

Does the site offer an internal applicant tracking system?
