For Employers - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I'm with a search agency but I'm posting a job on behalf of a member school. How should I do so? 
A: Please contact Clay at [email protected] for assistance. 

Q: Can I attach a document to my new job post?
A: While you can insert pictures or videos (by their URL) into job descriptions, you cannot attach a document. We strongly recommend putting the full job description into the box provided which will help potential candidates find your job thanks to job alert features that can match search criteria.

Q: We already have a full job description on our school website. Can I just post the link to our website rather than filling out the job description?
A: While you certainly could do so, we want to urge you to copy/paste the full description into your job post here. Job seekers often have automatic alerts configured to notify them of new jobs that match their search criteria, and quite often those important keywords can only be found in the full job description. If you simply paste a link to another site as the description, you'll miss attracting potential job seekers. 

Q: If I purchase the multi-jobs package, do I have to submit all jobs at the time of purchase?
A: After purchase, you'll have 180 days to use your job posts before they expire.

Q: Is it okay to include our email address or "click here to apply" link in the job description?
A: While you certainly can do so, we strongly recommend omitting your email and application link from the job description. The system has a separate field for that information and job seekers will see an "APPLY NOW" button on their screen. This in turn will track how often users click to apply for the job through the SAIS website, which you can see on your dashboard.
