Q
I received a message when posting my ad that the location was not recognized. What does this message mean?
Q In order for an ad to appear in the search results when a location is used, the ad must have a location that is recognized. If it is not a recognized location you will receive a message "Your ad has been successfully posted but the location entered is not recognized. Please verify the city is spelled correctly by editing your ad and include the correct city name..."

Our system recognizes the higher population city names but is not able to pinpoint locations that are not acutal cities including the following:
Special characters and punctuation, County names (ex: Orange County) Townships, Burroughs or other location types that are not part of the official town or city name. Direction names (ex: South Los Angeles), Abbreviations (ex: L.A.), blank city name, Non-specific city names (ex: Other, Nationwide, All Over)."

If there is a valid location posted that was not recognized, the location will be entered into our database within 24 business hours.

Q
In my Job Manager, what do the Copy, Delete, Renew, Re-Activate and De-Activate buttons do?
Q If an employer wants to copy a job they have posted, they can do this by checking the job and using the button.

If an employer wants to delete a job they have posted, they can do this by checking the job and using the button.

If an employer wants to renew a job that has, or is about to expire, they can do this by checking the job and using the button. By renewing a job the employer's account will be decremented by one posting.

When you want to take a job posting down from the live site, sometimes it may be more appropriate to deactivate the job rather than delete it. If you want to deactivate a job, you can do this by checking the box next to the job(s) you would like to deactivate and selecting the button. Deactivating a job will remove the job from the live site at the next update.

If you want to reactivate a job that is currently inactive (Inactive jobs have a red [D] next to them), you can do this by checking the box next to the job(s) you would like to reactivate and selecting the button. Reactivating a job will post the job back onto the live site at the next update provided the 'expires on' date has not already passed. Note: This is not to be used to Renew an expired job. To Renew an expired job please select the job and click on the button.

    Q
    My job does not appear to be getting any responses, what is wrong?
    Q First check your response report. This is available near the bottom of the first page of your employer tools. If your job did not get detailed page views, you may want to try tailoring your job description more to the job search.
    • Include more of the key words related to your job that job seekers are likely to search for in the job description.
    • Include the spelled out versions of abbreviated words or industry phrases and titles.
    • Include industry related wording.
    If your job got detailed page views but no applies, that means potential applicants viewed the job but did not apply. You may try making your job posting more attractive to job seekers by including some information about the company or benefits associated with the position.

    RESUME SEARCHING

    Q
    My Candidate Search is not limiting the results to the set of words or the phrase that I am using.
    Q If you are searching for a group of words or a phrase it is best to put all words in that group or phrase between quotes or select the radio button for Match: All Words.

    Below are some suggested search methods to help you conduct the most relevant search.

    Example 1:

    Search Keywords:
    sales quota (cold call,revenue,presidents club)

    The above example would bring back results with the first two words in them, as well as at least ONE of the words in parentheses. Make sure to select 'all words' on the resume database search page.

    *NOTE: When putting words in parentheses: - No spaces after commas
    - No quotation marks if there are two words between the commas

    Example 2:

    Search Keywords: (cold call,revenue,award,sales,quota) (harvard,yale,princeton,dartmouth)
    (IBM,GE,computer sciences corporation,fidelity investments)

    The above example would give you results that include at least one of the words within each parenthesis subset.

    *NOTE: When putting words in parentheses:
    - No spaces after commas
    - No quotation marks if there are two words between the commas

    Example 3:

    Search Keywords: sales revenue "cold call" award -telemarketing

    The above example would give you results that include all words EXCEPT 'telemarketing' as we put a minus sign before that word (no space between minus sign and the word telemarketing). Again, select 'all words' on search page. To exclude multiple words you would need to follow the example below.

    sales revenue award .(telemarketing,cold call,quota)

    The above example would give you results that include all words EXCEPT 'telemarketing', .cold call. and .quota. as we put a minus sign before that word (no space between minus sign and the parentheses). Again, select 'all words' on search page.

    *NOTE: When putting words in parentheses: - No spaces after commas
    - No quotation marks if there are two words between the commas

    Additional Tip: To maximize search results, include all variations of root words in your keyword search string:

    Strategy - Strategic
    Accountant - Accounting
    Marketer - Marketing - Market

    Q
    How does relevancy ranking work?
    Q When running a search the default search result is to order the results most relevant to least relevant.

    • Relevancy is determined based on terms entered into the search.
    • Those terms are weighted based on the frequency that they appear in all the jobs in the database.
    • Infrequently used words have a higher weight than frequently used words. Thusly, infrequently used words will have a higher relevancy.
    An example of this would be an "any word" keyword search for "nanotechnology analyst."

    The matches with the word "nanotechnology" would be returned first, because that word has a higher ranking than "analyst". Because this was run as an "any word" search, jobs with just the word "analyst" would follow the nanotechnology jobs.

    Q
    What is a Candidate Alert and how does it work?
    Q Your employer tools provide you with the ability to set up a Candidate Alert. Candidate Alerts will automatically find candidates that meet your search criteria. The Candidate Alert can also E-mail you new candidates, who meet your criteria. By clicking on the Candidate Alert icon, you will see the Candidate Alert page. From this page, you can create a new alert by selecting the 'Add Alert' button. When you select the 'Add Alert' button, the following page will appear:

    The Create Alert page includes options to help you search for candidates and options for defining details about the E-mail. Name your alert so that you can easily identify it. Select the 'Activate' option if you wish to activate this alert so you will receive the alert E-mails. After you have completed this form, click the Save button. You will now see your new Alert on the Candidate Alert page.

    Return to Top of Page

    Q
    How do I modify my Candidate Alerts?
    Q Go to the Candidate Alert page by clicking on the link, Candidate Alerts from your Employer Tools page. Click on the Edit icon next to the Alert you want to edit. This will take you to your Candidate Alert's Editing Screen.

    After you modify your Alert be sure to click the Save button.
