FAQs
How long does approval take? Sponsor listings are typically reviewed within 1 business day. Free listings take 2-3 business days. You'll receive an email notification when approved.
Can I save and finish later? Yes. Your listing saves as a draft automatically. Return to Jobs in your dashboard anytime to continue editing.
What if my listing is rejected? You'll receive an email explaining what needs to be fixed. Common issues include missing Apply URL, no industries selected, or job description concerns. Make the changes and click Publish Draft again.
Where should my Apply URL point? Your company careers page, ATS application form, job board posting (LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.), or any page where candidates can submit applications.
Can I post the same job to multiple communities? Yes. A single Job listing can appear on multiple publications. Staff assign publications based on your Industries, Languages, and Community Connections—you don't need separate listings.
