Why Hiring Organization Information Is Required
Quick Answer
Job listings require complete Hiring Organization information—including company name, description, website, and headquarters location—to establish credibility and help candidates research your company before applying. This section cannot be hidden and all fields are required.
Overview
Unlike Profile or Organization listings where parent company information is optional, job listings require the Hiring Organization section. This ensures every job posted on Heritage Web has a verified, researched employer behind it. Candidates expect to know who's hiring before they apply.
The Hiring Organization section is locked to "Always Visible"—you cannot hide it. This protects job seekers from anonymous or misleading postings and helps your listing stand out as a legitimate opportunity.

1. Candidate Trust
Job seekers research employers before applying. Complete company information lets candidates:

FAQs
Why can't I hide my company information?
Job seekers need to know who's hiring. Anonymous job postings erode trust and attract fewer quality candidates. The requirement protects both employers and job seekers.
What if we're a confidential search?
Heritage Web requires employer identification for all job postings. If you need a confidential search, work with a recruiting firm or use platforms designed for confidential hiring.
Can I use a parent company instead of my direct employer?
Enter the actual hiring entity—who will employ the person and issue their paycheck. You can mention parent company relationships in your description if relevant.
What if we're a new company without much history?
That's fine. Enter your company information accurately. Even startups have a name, website, location, and description. New companies can attract great candidates by being transparent.
Why do I need a headquarters address?
Headquarters location establishes your company as a real, locatable entity. It helps candidates understand your company's origin and provides verification for our review team.
Is the Hiring Organization different from the Workplace Location?
Yes. Hiring Organization shows where your company is based. Workplace Location (in Position Details) shows where the job is performed. They can be the same or different cities.
