Frequently Asked Questions
Employer FAQ
How much does it cost to post a job?
Nothing! Jobs are completely free to post on JobsInTheValley.com. If you would like to feature your job for maximum exposure, you can do so through the posting form (cost is $50 to post a Featured Job for 30 days), but otherwise there is never a charge.
How many jobs can I post?
As many as you like, provided they are genuine openings and you are actively accepting applications. One job per ad please, unless there are multiple openings available for the same position.
How quickly are jobs posted, and how long do they remain on the site?
When you post a job for the first time, your e-mail address will need to be validated and your job posting reviewed. It will generally take 12-24 hours for your first job to be posted. Once your e-mail address has been validated, you will be able to post jobs instantly.
Jobs remain posted on the site for 30 days unless removed sooner by the employer.
Can I edit my jobs and deactivate them when filled?
Absolutely. When you post a job, you will be sent a confirmation e-mail which includes links to directly edit and/or deactivate your job.
What are the benefits of Featured Jobs, and how do I post one?
Featured Jobs enable you to highlight your job posting so that it receives maximum attention from job seekers. Featured Jobs appear at the top of all listings in your selected county, and also on the home page (5 most recent). If you have a particularly difficult job to fill, or have a position which needs to be filled quickly, Featured Jobs generally receive the greatest number of applications.
Posting a Featured Job is the same as posting a regular job except you will check the option on the posting form to Feature Your Job. Once you approve your ad, you will receive an on-screen option to print an invoice ($50 fee) and also be sent an e-mail with a link to this same invoice. Payment is by check or money order. If you prefer to pay by credit card, please e-mail us at advertising@jobsinthevalley.com.
Job Seeker FAQ
How do I apply for jobs posted on the site?
There are generally two ways to apply for jobs posted on the site. If an employer has enabled online applications, you can simply click on "Apply now" below the job posting and complete the form right on the website. If an employer wishes you to apply in some other way, they will include that information in the ad itself.
Can I be notified when new jobs are posted?
Yes. RSS Feeds (see link at bottom of screen) and Job Alerts (see link at top of screen) are both available. You can start and stop these notifications at your leisure.
I saw a job posted on the site yesterday, but now it's gone! Is there a way to still access the information?
Unfortunately, once a job posting has expired or is removed by the employer, it can no longer be accessed. If you are interested in a particular job -- but may not have the time to immediately apply -- be sure to use the print function just below each job posting to save a copy. (Jobs are posted for 30 days by default, but may be removed by the employer at any time before they expire.)
