Quick Answer
Job Type indicates the employment arrangement for your position. You must select at least one option, but you can select multiple if your role offers flexibility (like "Full Time or Contract"). Heritage Web offers six options: Full Time, Part Time, Contract, Temporary, Volunteer, and Internship.
Overview
The Job Type field appears in the Position Details section on the Job Details tab. It's required—you can't submit a job listing without selecting at least one option. Job Type displays prominently on your public listing so candidates immediately understand the employment arrangement.
Selecting multiple options is allowed and useful when you're flexible about the arrangement (e.g., willing to hire someone full-time or as a contractor).

Full Time | Standard full-time employment | 35-40+ hours/week |
Part Time | Less than full-time hours | Under 35 hours/week |
Contract | Fixed-term or project-based engagement | Varies |

FAQs
Can I select multiple job types?
Yes. If you're open to hiring someone full-time or as a contractor, select both "Full Time" and "Contract." This accurately represents your flexibility.
What's the difference between Contract and Temporary?
Contract typically refers to an independent contractor arrangement (often 1099) where the person may work on specific projects. Temporary usually means a short-term W-2 employee position with a defined end date (like seasonal work or coverage for a leave).
Should I select "Internship" for entry-level jobs?
Only if it's actually an internship program. Entry-level jobs that aren't internships should use "Full Time" or "Part Time" as appropriate.
What if my position is "Contract-to-Hire"?
Select both "Contract" and "Full Time" to indicate the role starts as contract with potential for permanent hire. Explain the arrangement in your Job Description.
Is "Volunteer" for unpaid positions only?
Yes. "Volunteer" indicates the position is unpaid. If your internship is paid, select "Internship" only. If unpaid, you might select both "Internship" and "Volunteer" for clarity.
What if I'm not sure which type applies?
Consider: Will this person be a W-2 employee (Full Time/Part Time), a 1099 contractor (Contract), here temporarily (Temporary), unpaid (Volunteer), or in a learning program (Internship)? When in doubt, describe the arrangement clearly in your Job Description.
