There are two options for posting a job ad for a job that can be done from multiple locations:
- You can post a single job ad and add multiple locations to it when creating the ad. This is the best option if you have one vacancy for a role that can be done remotely or from a number of different locations, as all the applicants will appear together in our Applicant Management System, or
- You can post multiple copies of your job ad for each location you want the ad to appear in. This is the best option if you have multiple vacancies across different locations, and you want to keep the candidates for each vacancy separate.
With either approach, you’ll need to spend one job ad credit for each location you want to post the ad in.
Please note though that jobs can only be posted in a location where the employee can actually be based, to make it as easy as possible for our jobseekers to find the jobs they’re looking for. For example, if the employee must be based in one of you offices in Brisbane or Sydney, the job can only be posted in our Brisbane or Sydney locations.
How do I post a single job ad in multiple locations?
Click on the Post a job ad button on the right side of the top menu, and you'll be taken to the Create a Job page.
Once you've added your Position Title, Summary for Search Results, and other job details, you'll see the job Locations section of the form:
Choose a location, and a Town/Suburb/Region from the drop-down lists.
Once you’ve added your first location, the button to add additional locations will be enabled and you’ll be able to add more locations. For each location you add, you can also include a town, suburb, or region.
You can add the same main location twice if you want to, providing you include a different town, suburb or region. For example you could post a single job ad with the following locations:
How will my single job ad with multiple locations appear in the search results?
When you post your job ad in multiple locations, it will appear in search results for each of the locations where you've posted it within. For example, if you’ve posted the job ad in both Melbourne and Sydney, it will appear in the search results:
- When a jobseeker applies a location search for Melbourne;
- When a jobseeker applies a location search for Sydney; and
- When a jobseeker doesn’t specify any location in their search criteria.
This will also apply to new job alert emails that jobseekers have set up. Therefore by posting the job ad in more locations, it will appear in more jobseekers' new job alert emails.
How much does it cost to 'feature' a job ad with more than one location?
When you 'feature' a job ad, the effect is that whenever your ad matches a search, it will appear at the very top of the list of search results that the jobseeker sees (alongside other ‘featured’ ads).
Featuring a job ad costs one extra Job Ad Credit per location. So if you want to feature a job ad that has two locations, it will cost you two additional Job Ad Credits to feature that job. The job ad will appear at the top of search results for all searches including those two locations.
