Q: What is the cost to advertise?
A: The basic cost to advertise a single ad is: $450. A variety of discounted advertising packages are available to meet any need.

Q: Can we pay by check?
A: Yes, we accept checks, Visa, Master Card & American Express. Purchase orders are ok too.

The system is setup to make paying by credit card very easy, however, we know that many customers prefer to receive an invoice and pay by check.. Follow the instructions to advertise your ad, then when you are asked how you'd like to pay, just choose "pay by check". You'll receive your invoice as usual, by email or mail.

Q: Are there limits on word count?
A: No, More is always better when it comes to providing specifics about a career opportunity. Detailed information provides prospective candidates the ability to tailor their application materials to the opportunity of determine they are either not interested or qualified for the opportunity. The goal is to neither waste your time nor theirs.

Q: Can we include our logo?
A: Yes. Feel free to include a logo.

Q: Can we reach only local candidates? (We can not pay travel or relocation expenses)
A: Yes! The process of advertising includes selecting where the opportunity is located. Only candidates who have specified that location and meet your other qualification criteria will receive the ad. Secondly, it is important to state in the ad that travel and relocation reimbursement is not available, since the ad is also available on the web where anyone may view it.

Q: What happens to an ad once it is submitted?
A: It is processed through our system which means it is emailed to all registered candidates who meet the minimum qualifications (i.e. education, experience, focus, etc &) and have selected preferences (i.e. location, work setting, etc &) matching the characteristics of the opportunity. Secondly, the ad is immediately available online for anyone registered or visitor to view and apply for. *To ensure integrity and provide quality control, new customers may experience a slight one-time delay in processing. Before ads are processed or appear on the web, the employer registration information must be approved. During normal business hours (ET), this step may occur with little or no delay in processing. Once a customer has been approved, all advertising from that point, will be processed real-time!

Q: Can we view the resumes of registered candidates?
A: No, we do not store resumes, nor do we encourage candidates to make a generic resume available on the web anywhere. We believe it is both a security risk and does not best represent a potential candidate. We encourage candidates to prepare their resume in response to a specific opportunity. Employers recognize that a candidate who takes the time to prepare a resume in response to an ad is demonstrating active participation in their career.

Q: How soon may we expect to begin receiving responses to our ad?
A: Typically, resumes begin to arrive in less than 24 hours. Many customers report response times in as little as two. A few times, we've been told 5 minutes. Of course, response times may vary with the potential to break our standing 5 minute record!

Q: With an average of 13k+ registered candidates, will we be flooded with resumes?
A: Not likely. Ads that have been written well, with detailed information on the opportunity, are less likely to generate resume blasts than a brief, vague ad without enough detail for candidates to discern their suitability or interest.

Q: How long do ads remain active?
A: Typically, job ads remain active for 8 weeks. Internships and graduate program ads are active for 12 months. Employers may login to their account to manage their ads at any time. For customers who have ongoing staff needs, the option to store ads as templates for future use provides added convenience.

Q: Can I submit my resume?
A: No, we maintain only candidate email addresses and preferences. Resumes should be prepared and maintained on a pc or portable storage device for ready access when a great career opportunity is delivered. An employer can get a more accurate picture of a candidate from a resume that has been prepared in response to an opportunity of interest. Additionally, a candidate who takes the time to prepare a resume in response to an ad is demonstrating active participation in their career.

Q: How many career opportunities will I receive if I register?
A: That's very difficult to anticipate. Entry level candidates who are willing/able to relocate typically receive the largest number of opportunities. A candidate who is tied to a location, but has the expertise to do a variety of things may receive somewhat fewer opportunities. Finally, a senior level professional may receive the fewest opportunities for a variety of reasons including the decreased number of opportunities available at a senior level. It is important to remember that candidates may login to edit or update preferences at any time to broaden or narrow preferences.

Q: Why register when all ads may be seen online?
A: Candidates register for a variety of reasons. For those who are actively pursuing new career opportunities, registering ensures that an opportunity matching preferences and qualifications will not be missed!

Q: I'm not actively looking, but want to keep an eye out for a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity, should I register?
A: Probably not. After all, who needs more email. If not actively looking, then emailed opportunities probably make no sense. We encourage potential candidates who find themselves "on the fence" or really only interested in industry trends, to bookmark our website. However, we know that many faculty members register to further disseminate ads to alumni and students. So, it's your call.
