Verification process
Free trial jobs
Free trial jobs require verification before appearing on job boards:
- Verification time: Up to 72 hours
- Skip the queue: Subscribe to any paid plan for priority verification
- Staffing agencies: May require additional verification
Paid subscription jobs
Jobs from paid accounts are verified faster and published with priority.
When jobs go live
After posting a job:
- Wait 24 hours before checking job boards
- Job appears on your career site immediately
- Job board distribution happens after verification
- Free distribution to Indeed, LinkedIn, and other boards included
Checking if your job is live
To verify your job is visible:
