How can I improve the position of my ad in jobseeker search results?
Depending on the way a jobseeker conducts a job search, the search results will be listed by Date or by Relevance. 'By Date' means that the most recent jobs matching the search criteria appear at the top of the list. 'By Relevance' means that jobs matching the keywords as well as the search criteria appear at the top. If your job ad is detailed with the role's duties, responsibilities, location and remuneration then it is likely it will include the types of keywords jobseekers use to search.

Can I post the same job ad in another location?

Can I re-post a job ad?
