Frequently Asked Questions

Every new job entered on the site receives a JOB ORDER NUMBER. This number determines where your jobs appear on the site. So, jobs that appear first on the list are the newest jobs entered on the site today, next on the list are jobs that were entered yesterday for the first time and were updated today, next on the list are the jobs that were originally entered 2 days ago and are updated with today's date. This process continues. We believe this system is very fair as it is controlled by original entry date and not time of updated job ad.

Why do I need to update my ads regularly?

It is critical you update your jobs at least once a week. Ideally, we would recommend you update everyday. This ensures you receive a good position on the site and your ads include that day's date. This process only takes a few seconds or minutes in come cases depending on the number of jobs that need to be updated. Simply click on 'select all' and 'update selected ads'.

How do I remove jobs from the site?

If you need to remove jobs from the site, tick the box that corresponds to the job and click on 'mark filled'. Your job is removed from the site immediately. These jobs are stored on the site. To access these inactive jobs click to display 'filled jobs'.These jobs are stored for you so you can re-use the job descriptions and access the CVs.

What does the flag mean?

This means your job was originally entered on the site over 30 days ago. We would recommend you remove this job or you re-enter the job on the site. By re-entering the job the site recognizes it as a new job and therefore it will receive a better position on the site. It is also critical that only live jobs appear on the site.

What do I put in the detailed location section?

A more specific address. So for example Dublin goes into 'Location' and Swords goes into 'Location 2'. This gives the candidate more information about the position. There's no need to include the county again in the 'Location 2' field.

Can I add contact details to my ads?

Yes, you may enter details but we do not allow live links to your website. Please remember if candidates go directly to you, we cannot track them. Therefore we would strongly recommend you ask candidates where they heard about your position. This will give you a more accurate picture of how we are performing for you.
