How to post a job:

Posting a position on CareerBuilder is a simple, intuitive process. There are, however, many "tricks of the trade" that you can employ to ensure that your positions not only appear to as many candidates as possible, but also that they appear to the most relevant candidates.

Step One

·         Begin by selecting ‘My Jobs’ from the task bar then clicking on ‘Post Now’

Step Two

·         Ensure the right product is selected to use. Once confirmed click continue at the bottom to begin posting.

Step Three

Move through the posting filling out the form as completely as possible.  Try and sell your position and company to job seekers!  Below you will find best practice tips for posting.

Job Title:

• Use simple, recognizable job titles.
• Avoid abbreviations.
• Space your words. (i.e. if listing 'Accounting/Finance', enter it as 'Accounting / Finance', with spaces on either side of the '/')

Job Types and Industries:

• Choose more than one job type and industry for every position.  With each additional selection that applies to your position you greatly increase the job seeker exposure to your posting.

Company Name:

·         Be sure to select your BrandBuilder (a.k.a. Company Profile) to attach to your posting if purchased for your account. The BrandBuilder attaches your logo to the posting and links the posting to a company profile page for job seekers to see.  For more information on this product see the associated section on our help page.

Job Location:

·         Try out our Street Address Feature that allows job seekers to view the exact location of your facility.

Job Description and Requirements:

Include as much information as possible! The more precisely the job is detailed, the greater the likelihood that the applicants will be exactly who you are seeking. Some information to think about including is:  

• Information about the company, including background, financial strengths and culture
• Responsibilities and duties
• Position requirements
• Benefits
• Location
• Industry information
• Relevant keywords

Including HTML formatting to bold, italicize, and bullet lists can help accent specific parts of your posting as well.  Utilization of our HTML tool bar at the top of the description and requirements sections can help you set your posting apart from the competition.

Company/Contact Information:

                            ·         Allow both online applications and email for the best response rates!

          ·         Be sure to check the ‘Allow Job Seekers to Apply Online’ box to allow job seekers the ability to submit their resumes directly to you.

Compensation:

        ·         Job seekers can search by base pay so include this section to increase the exposure and appeal of your posting.

Other tips:

        ·         Auto-renew postings for those positions with a continual need or to keep candidates coming in the pipeline.

        ·         See main help page for more information on letters and screeners.

        ·         Job ID is visible to job seekers that may want to reference your posting faster.

        ·         Customer account codes are for your internal use only. 

        ·         All required areas are marked with an asterisk but if you click continue without filling in a required area you will be prompted to fill in the specific area before continuing on.

Step Four

·         Click continue to move to the confirmation page and then click confirm to post. Congratulations, as the posting process is completed!
