7.3.1 JOB ADVERTISEMENT: TITLE AND DESCRIPTION
- The title of a job advertisement must accurately reflect the job’s description. It is to no-one’s advantage if a jobseeker has to click on the title of a job advertisement unnecessarily, only to find that the job description does not match.
- Job advertisements should not use excessive CAPITAL LETTERS or **** Punctuation!!!!
- Avoid generic job advertisement titles such as “TEMPS, TEMPS, TEMPS” or “Legal, Legal, Legal”.

- Job advertisements must stay live on the Website for such minimum period of time as may be determined by the Company at our discretion. This is to ensure that jobseekers who receive your job advertisements by email will not find a job to have expired during that timeframe. The Company retains the right to amend the minimum live duration required in respect of jobs advertised on the Website.
- Each job may be advertised once only. Posting duplicate or similar job advertisements that relate to the same job provides unrealistic search results and is deeply frustrating for jobseekers.

7.3.3 FILLED ROLES & CV COLLECTION
- If the job being advertised has been filled, the job advertisement must be removed as soon as possible.

7.3.4 COST TO JOBSEEKER
- If there is a cost involved to the jobseeker at any stage in the process of applying for or accepting a job advertised, this must be explained in the job advertisement.
- If the job advertised offers no basic salary (e.g. if the job operates on the basis of commission only, or is a position registered under or otherwise forming part of a state-sponsored “back-to-work” scheme or similar), this must be clearly stated in the job advertisement. Unpaid internships must clearly be stated.
7.3.5 JOB CATEGORISATION
- You must ensure that a job is advertised using the correct categories and locations. You may select up to 5 sets of sectors to apply to a job advertisement. You may only use sectors which accurately describe the job being advertised.
7.3.6 CONTACT DETAILS IN JOB ADVERTISEMENTS
- You may not include an email address in the job title, job description or anywhere in a job advertisement.
- You may not include a phone number in the job advertisement, nor include any information which is intended to, or which results in, a jobseeker being led away from the Website as part of their search for a job.
