JobisJob for job seekers
Searching jobs
How do I apply to jobs?
After you've run a search, click on job titles to view the job offer in detail. This takes you out of JobisJob to the website listing the job. Application instructions will vary from site to site.
For jobs where we can't locate the application page, please, read carefully through the 'How to apply' section.
Application for job offers found using JobisJob always takes place outside JobisJob, namely in our providers’ websites. How to apply for a job offer found using JobisJob depends entirely on the providers’ application system, so unfortunately JobisJob cannot give you any assistance on this issue.

Where do I have to send my CV to, can I upload it?
Please do not send us any CVs. We do not have any CV database. JobisJob is a search engine and we automatically extract the job offers from various sources, and do not have any further information on neither the companies nor the positions offered. For this reason, we simply would not know what to do with your CV.
Please read carefully through the application details of the job offer because there you will find the details on if and how a CV can be submitted.

Why do I see older/expired listings on the site?
While we do a great deal to reduce the probability that you will see an older/expired listing on the JobisJob site, old/expired listings can appear if the source site (where we pulled the information from) still has the job active on their site.
If you are an employer that would like to have a listing pulled, please contact the source site directly. The job would quickly clear from our results after the source site removed it.

Managing your jobs on JobisJob
How do I publish appealing job offers to attract more candidates?
To publish quality jobs that are enticing for job seekers, we encourage you to follow these recommendations:
- Explicit and descriptive job titles. The title of a job offer is what will capture the attention of a job seeker first. It should be direct and indicate briefly but concisely the type of profile you’re looking for. Avoid symbols and signs that hinder readability or do not add value.
- Complete information. Please make sure you add as much information as possible and complete all the fields in the posting form. The more information you add the better.
- Detailed description. Simple and direct language. It is extremely important to specify the requirements and qualifications that the candidate must meet in order to apply for the job as well as the career opportunities you can offer. Studies show that job offers which emphasize career opportunities for the candidate receive more CV’s from qualified candidates.
- Clear contact details and selection process. Specify how the candidate should apply to this position and where they need to send their CV.
- A location per offer. Ideally, in order to enhance the visibility of your offer in our results pages you should include only one location per offer. In your private JobisJob menu, you can easily publish the same offer for different locations.
- One job offer per job seeker profile. If you have several vacancies for the same type of profile, indicate all the open positions for this job seeker in the job post. Do not create a new job listing for each vacancy. However if you are looking for different types of profiles to fill your vacancies, you should create a new job offer for each of the job seeker profiles you’re looking for.
- Only links to your offer. In order to ensure an optimal job search for the user, we only admit links in your post that can provide additional information about the job offer or directs the user to the original offer so they can apply.
I have posted a job but it does not show up in the list of results! Why?
Your job offer might have been rejected; in which case you will have received an email informing you on the rejection of your job offer. In case your offer is rejected, remember that the Posting used for this advert will be available again for you to use.
How do I post additional jobs?
To post additional jobs, sign into your Recruiter account using 'Post Job' or ‘Employer Solutions’ located on the top right corner of the homepage. Enter your email address in the field 'Email address'. Enter your password in the field 'Password'. Click on 'Sign in' button. There you will find your Recruiter Control Panel. Click on 'Posted Jobs' and then click on the 'Post a new Job'.
My job was rejected! Why?
Job offers are rejected if:
- They don't contain explicit contact data, this is, a contact address, phone number, email, or a job offer URL that links directly to a job offer posted on a website other than JobisJob.
- They do not comply with our quality standards outlined in our Legal Terms.
My job offer was rejected, how does it affect the Posting I used?
Remember that when you post 1 job offer, you use up 1 Posting. However, your job offer is still subject to our Quality process at any time and if at all it is rejected by our QA team, this Posting will be available again in your Recruiter Control Panel for you to use whenever you want. Please, notice that the publication date of the rejected offer does not change. So, in order to take the maximum advantage of the ad exposure time, we recommend you to modify it and publish it again through the ‘Duplicate’ or the ‘Post again’ options. You will find these options in the Action box related to the rejected offer in case you have available postings to use. Please, make sure that your new offer meets JobisJob’s Quality Criteria before posting it again.
What do the statuses for jobs mean?
The status of each job offer helps you to manage your job offers:
- Active: The job offer is online and does form part of job seekers' search results.
- Paused: Indicates that you have temporally stopped advertising this particular job. You can reactivate it at any time.
- Rejected: Your job offer was not validated because it did not contain explicit contact data, or because it did not comply with our quality standards.
- Expired: The job has been posted more than 30 days ago, and has gone offline automatically.
How do I edit a job after publishing it?
To edit a job offer, sign into your Recruiter account using 'Post Job' or ‘Employer Solutions’ located on the top right of the homepage. Enter your email address in the field 'Email address'. Enter your password in the field 'Password'. Click on 'Sign in' button. There you will find your Recruiter Control Panel. Click on 'Posted Jobs' and then click on the link 'Edit' of the job offer you would like to modify. Please note that edited job offers are subject to our Quality process at any time.
