Job Posting Guidelines
Applicable Product:
PFR
Summary:
You will need to include specific details about your company, boost clarity within the job description, and meet an easy but important number of requirements to make your job post a success. Follow these guidelines to make sure your job is accepted and promoted every time.
Detailed Information:
Company Requirements
-
You must list your full company name and avoid abbreviations of any kind
-
We need to be able to identify your company through public details, or similar. If we can't, we may ask for additional, verifying documentation.
-
You will need to have a company website that matches the company name you provided when you created your PeopleFluent Recruiting account.
Job Requirements
- The title should only include one position in PeopleFluent Recruiting. If you are hiring for multiple openings for the same position, you should still title it as the singular version of the position.** For example, “Teachers” or “Mechanics” should be “Teacher” and “Mechanic.”**
-
AVOID USING CAPITAL LETTERS or exaggerated punctuation. Leave out any additional information that looks like spam, like "We are Hiring ASAP!!!"
Location Requirements
-
City, State, and Country are all required fields when promoting a position. If the job posting is for remote work, check the Remote/Telecommute box and include the head office as the job's location. Your job is more likely to be posted if you provide a location since job boards will know where to post it.
-
If you want to post a job in two or more locations, you can clone the position and create a posting for each location. Job boards will decline your posting if you provide two locations in a single post.
Description Requirements
-
In your job description, include specific details for candidates, such as the duties and requirements of the position at your company. Bonus desirability points for adding benefits and perks.
-
Aim for at least 700 characters overall.
-
Avoid providing alternative ways for a candidate to apply (like an email address, phone number, or website link). Those will be declined.
-
Your description should be easy to read! Help candidates skim the ad with easy formatting changes like headers, bold text, and bulleted lists. Limit the use of links and images, since most job boards won't support them.
- We don't recommend copying and pasting your descriptions from a program like Word, which can cause some formatting issues for job boards.
-
Need to jump start your job description? You can pre-fill a description from our searchable job description library.
-
Avoid terminology that could be viewed as discriminatory. This includes:
- Any age references, like “college students welcome”
- Gendered pronouns (“she” or “he”)
- Nationality ("We love Canadians! 🇨🇦")
Additional Requirements
-
If you re-post or refresh your jobs often, job boards will notice and may not continue to accept your posts.
-
For the positions you plan to keep in your career portal for an extended amount of time, use paid promotions to boost visibility. :mega:
-
If you post your position directly to the job board first and then try to promote through PeopleFluent Recruiting, there's a chance it will be considered a duplicate and the job board may not accept the position at all.
