Job Postings:

How do I edit my job details?

To edit any of your job postings, sign in to your account and click on  My Jobs from your recruiter dasboard. Then, click on the Edit Job icon next to the job you would like to edit. This will bring you to the job posting form to edit your posting. Once you are finished editing, click Save Job. You will then be brought to the Review your job post page. If no additional edits are needed, click Confirm.

Can I edit all of the fields in my job posting?

Standard job postings do not allow you to you change the title or location of your job posting once you have posted your job. Please contact [email protected] for more information regarding this policy.

How long does it take for jobs to become live on the site?

Once you are finished posting your job, your job will undergo an automated quality control process before being published to the site. As long as your job passed through the QC process without being flagged, it will go live almost immediately. To ensure that your job is approved by our automated system, please adhere to these guidelines:

  1. No contact information should be included in the body of the jobs that are posted to the site.
  2. Your posting must have a valid U.K. city, state and post code or valid international location information entered in the location fields.

If you do not see your posting live on the site within an hour, please contact us and we will check on the status of your posting.

How do I refresh my job posting? Does the date change? What exactly does refreshing my job do?

To refresh your job posting, sign in to your account and click on My Jobs from your Recruiter Dashboard. Find the job you would like to refresh and click the Refresh Job icon to the left of it. You can refresh all of your active job postings by clicking Refresh All Jobs at the top the page.

When you’re finished, the posting date of each job will change to reflect the date it was refreshed.

When candidates conduct a job search, your refreshed posting will show closer to the top of search results.

Will my email address and name be visible to applicants when they are viewing my posting?

Please note that applicants who apply to your position will not be able to see your email address, name, or any other contact information associated with your account or job posting. When an applicant clicks on the “Apply” button, we receive their information and CV through our system, and then pass them directly to you via email.

If you have opted to receive applicants via email, their contact information and CV will be shown on your recruiter dashboard in the “Applicants” section. It is then up to you to contact candidates you are interested in.

Please keep in mind that if you are using an external URL, your applicants will be directed there to apply.

How do I remove a job posting from your site?

If you would like to remove your job posting, sign in to your account and click on My Jobs from your Recruiter Dashboard. Choose the posting you would like to remove and click the Deactivate or filled the postiion icon to the right of it. Once you deactivate your posting, it will no longer be live on the site.

How do I delete unqualified candidates who have applied to my jobs?

As a recruiter on Definitejobs, you have the ability to remove any candidates that do not meet your hiring needs. To do this, sign in to your account and navigate to the ‘Job Applicants’ section under your recruiter dashboard. You will see a list of all your job applicants, and can simply click on the ‘Reject’ icon located on the right-hand side of the job applicant’s information.

Removing a candidate will remove them from your list of potential hires, and they will no longer be able to apply for any of your open positions. If you have any questions or concerns about the candidate removal process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer support team for assistance.

When candidates apply to my jobs, where does their information go?

Recruiter subscribers will receive applications via Definitejobs Apply email as well as by clicking “My Applicants” on their Recruiter Dasboard.

Company Logo Upload & Description:

Please note: This functionality is available to account administrators only.

If I add logo these, where are they used?

Your company logo and description will be displayed on your job postings as well as areas on the site where we feature hiring companies, and will help position your company and increase brand recognition.  Areas your logo may appear include job search results,  sites across the Definitejobs Ecosystem, Your logo will link to your job postings, providing even more visibility for your jobs.  We highly recommend providing a logo whenever possible.  

If I delete or replace my logo and company description on the job posting form, do they get changed everywhere?

Yes, any changes made to your logo and company description from the job posting form will affect all active jobs with that information included.

Candidate Search:

Why is some candidate information hidden from view?

Member information is hidden from view because you are viewing the candidate in preview mode.  This could occur for two reasons:

  1. You do not have full candidate view access on your account, either because you haven’t purchased a plan that includes Candidate Search or because you did purchase but you’ve run out of candidate views. In either case, you can buy a recruitment plan to see full candidate information. 
  2. Your account is set to view candidates in preview mode first, even though you have candidate views available. This has either been set on purpose by your account administrator, or we’ve set it that way as a courtesy to you because the plan you purchased includes only a small number of candidate views. Preview mode allows you to review partial member portfolios before deciding whether you want to use a view to see the full portfolio, which is a good way to save your full views for candidates that really interest you. In either case, you can simply click the “View Full Portfolio” button at the top of the page to see the full portfolio.  At that time we will deduct a candidate view from your account. 

What constitutes a candidate view?

A candidate view is deducted each time you view a full portfolio that you have not viewed before. If you view full portfolio information for the same member account more than once, only one candidate view will ever be deducted.  

If you view a candidate in preview mode (where some information is hidden), a candidate view is not deducted unless you click the “View Full Portfolio” button.

If I save a candidate, how long will it be saved?

Once you save a candidate, it will not be removed from your saved candidates page unless that member deactivates their account.

There is also a recently viewed candidates page, where you can find candidates that you have viewed recently but did not save. This will display the last 100 candidates that were viewed.

How can I receive emails notifying me when new candidates who meet my needs join the network?

There are two ways to do this. You can set up an email alert when searching our candidate database, posting a job, or both.

To create an alert when searching the database, you can either check the box to “Add Alert” at the bottom of the search form before you run a search, or click the “Create Alert” button at the top of your search results page after you’ve run a search.  

To create an alert while posting a job, enter your job description AND the keywords you believe potential candidates will use to find jobs like yours in the job posting form. Then make sure you check the box to set up a Candidate Alert at the bottom of the page.

To delete either of these types of alerts, You can view all of your alerts, no matter how they were created, on the Manage Alerts page linked from your Home Page. There you can see your alert criteria, view recent matches and delete alerts by clicking the “Remove Alert” link.

On the candidate search page, what is the significance of the Options tab?

The Options tab is where you can save your search preferences. The preferences you set will be saved and used in future searches until you change them or clear your cookies.

What is the reference location on the Options tab? How is it used?

The reference location is the location we use to calculate the distance between you and the people in your search results. While it will auto populate with the location information specified on your Contact Information form, you may change it to better suit your needs. This can be done on a search by search basis, or you can set it once and use it for future searches.

How does the Keyword Builder work?

The keyword builder is best used for complex searches or if you need help constructing a Boolean search. With this tool, you can indicate how you would like your keywords to be used. You can request that all of your keywords be found in your search results, any of the words or the exact phrase. You can also choose whether you would like keywords included or not included and where you would like to find them in the candidate portfolios.

Do you support Boolean searching?

Yes we do. You may conduct a Boolean search by inputting keywords into the Who/What box. If you do not know how to run a Boolean search, we suggest you use the advanced search tool to assist you.

Your Recruiter Dashboard:

What is My Dashboard?

The Recruiter Dashboard is the first page you will see upon signing in to your Definitejobs recruiter account. It provides easy access to the recruiting data and information you need at your fingertips, including at-a-glance reporting, company information, active products, and job applicants. Additionally, there’s a live feed of updates and recruitment industry news, all handpicked to help you in your hiring efforts.

What statistics are displayed in the My Dashboard?

In the “Applications Statistics” section of “My Dashboard,” you will see an overview of your published jobs, number of applicants, reviews, and shortlisted candidates. You will also see a graph below that can help you quickly determine your job views. On the right side of the graph, you can view notifications related to your job applicants and other activity. At the bottom of the page, you will find your recent applicants.

Billing Questions:

Can I be invoiced?

Monthly subscription plans are only available for purchase online; however, annual plans may be invoiced. For any other purchases, please contact a recruitment media consultant about invoicing options.

Are you net or gross?

This answer depends on the type of employer you are, so it will be best answered by contacting a recruitment media consultant at 02038 850316
