Frequently Asked Questions
- How much do listings cost?
- £99 per ad for full-time and contract listings, and £49 for internship listings and freelance gigs. We offer discounted pricing if posting two or more listings at once: 10% for 2 listings, 15% off for 3-4 listings, and 20% off for 5 or more listings.
- What’s the difference between full-time, contract, freelance, and internship?
- These three terms are used loosely throughout the employment world and can mean different things to different people. But in the context of Authentic Jobs, we’ve defined the following for each of these job types. Full-time is a salaried position, usually on-site and long-term, and typically 40 hours per week. Contract is a temporary or temp-to-perm position, and the contractor usually works on-site some or all of the time. Freelance is outsourced work, usually a short-term commitment, and work can often be done from anywhere. Internships are on-the-job training that may or may not be paid work.
- How long will my listing be online?
- 60 days for full-time, contract, and internship listings, 30 days for freelance gigs. After that, listings are automatically removed from the site.
- How do I edit my listing?
- You should have received a confirmation email after posting your listing. This email includes a link for editing your listing. If you’ve lost this email, or if spam filters ate it up (not uncommon), send us a note and we’ll resend your link.
- What kind of response to my listing should I expect?
- We place emphasis on quality of applicants, not quantity. Some employers receive many applicants, while others receive only a few. To an extent, you can affect the kind of response you receive by attracting applicants with your listing text. Do you offer a relocation package? Do you work with impressive clients? Are the job perks too good to pass up? Talk about these kinds of things in your listing.
- Do you offer a discount for educational institutions and non-profits?
- Absolutely! We’re very friendly to educational institutions and non-profits — see our efforts with Kiva and Charity:Water. Please Contact us, tell us a little about your organisation, and we’ll craft a discount just for you (usually 25% off the listed prices).
- What happens if my listing expires and I haven’t found the right candidate?
- Don’t fret. You’ve got a couple options here. Finding the right candidate, as you know, isn’t an overnight sensation. It usually takes time and patience to find the person for the job. If your listing expires and you haven’t found that special someone, you can either republish your ad (see the link in the email we sent you) or request a refund and try finding candidates elsewhere.
- How do I request a refund?
- Contact us and ask for a full refund within 30 days after the listing expires. We’ll refund your payment by credit card or cheque. That’s it.
