Quick Answer
Jobs are assigned to publications based on two primary factors: Languages and Job Industries. Heritage Web staff review these selections during approval and assign your job to relevant publications. Unlike Profiles and Organizations, jobs don't use Community Connections for placement—this is intentional for fair employment compliance.
Overview
Heritage Web operates a network of community-focused publications with job boards. When you create a job listing, our staff determines which publications should feature it based on your listing's content and selections.
The key difference from other listing types: Jobs don't have Community Connections. Publication placement is based on language requirements (a legitimate job qualification) and industry categories.
The Two Factors That Determine Job Placement
1. Languages (Primary for Community Placement)
Language requirements are legitimate job qualifications and drive community publication placement:
Language Required | Potential Publications |
Farsi | Iranian community job boards |
Spanish | Latino community job boards |
Korean | Korean community job boards |
Vietnamese | Vietnamese community job boards |
A job requiring Farsi-speaking candidates can appropriately appear on Iranian community job boards because language skills are a legitimate employment requirement.
2. Job Industries
Industries determine category-based placement:
Industry Selected | Placement Impact |
Information Technology | Tech job boards |
Healthcare Services | Healthcare job listings |
Legal | Legal job boards |
What Jobs DON'T Use: Community Connections
Jobs intentionally exclude Community Connections. Here's why:
Listing Type | Community Connections | Reason |
Profile | ✓ Yes | Personal identity/community ties are relevant |
Organization | ✓ Yes | Business ownership/customer base are relevant |
Event | ✓ Yes | Target audience is relevant |
Job | ✗ No | Fair employment compliance—can't target ethnic/religious groups |
Targeting job postings to specific ethnic, religious, or demographic communities (without a legitimate job-related reason like language skills) violates fair employment laws.

FAQs
Why don't jobs have Community Connections like my Profile does? Fair employment laws prohibit targeting jobs to specific ethnic, religious, or demographic groups. Language requirements are an exception because they're legitimate job qualifications.
Can my job still appear on Iranian publications without Community Connections? Yes—if your job requires Farsi, it can appropriately appear on Iranian community job boards. Language skills are a legitimate job requirement.
Can I request specific publications for my job? Your Language and Industry selections signal preferences. Contact support if you believe your job should appear on a publication it wasn't assigned to.
What if I want to reach a specific community but don't have language requirements? You cannot target jobs to ethnic communities without legitimate job-related reasons. Focus your job description on the role requirements and let qualified candidates from all backgrounds apply.
