Sites providing job content to Simply Hired are required to adhere to the following policies. We ask that you read these policies carefully and refer to this document often. If you fail to comply with these policies, we will exclude the job content you provide. While in many cases we prefer to work with job content providers to achieve policy compliance, we reserve the right to exclude any job content at any time.

 

NOTE: WE ARE TEMPORARILY NOT ACCEPTING INTERNATIONAL FEEDS AT THIS TIME.

Quality Guidelines - Basic Principles

- Provide unique and relevant content that adds value to the job seeker experience.
- Provide job content to Simply Hired that matches the job content on your site.
- Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you would feel comfortable explaining what you have done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, "Does this help job seekers? Would I do this on my own site?"
- Provide an efficient process for job seekers to view the details for a job and apply to that job.

Quality Guidelines - Specific Guidelines

- Provide job listings that are directly posted on your site. We do not accept jobs that are aggregated from other sources.
- Provide the real company name for each job listing.
- Provide accurate and up-to-date content including removal of expired job listings.
- Do not provide job content loaded with extraneous or artificially modified content (i.e. keyword stuffing, etc).
- Make the full job description visible on the landing page the job seeker sees when they leave Simply Hired. A login must not be required to view the full job details.
- Provide an apply option on the landing page the job seeker sees when they leave Simply Hired. That apply option must be to submit an application either to the site first landed on (i.e. your site) OR directly to the hiring company's web site.
- Do not display job listings provided by third parties on landing pages or during the apply process.

-Provide 10 or more jobs through the feed.

Copyrights and Trademarks

- We do not accept job content from sites that display material in violation of US or international copyright and trademark laws.
- We do not accept job content from sites that display trademarks of Simply Hired or its partners and affiliates without written consent from the respective trademark owners.

Failure to comply with these guidelines may lead to exclusion of your job content. If you believe that another site is abusing Simply Hired's quality guidelines, please report that site at http://www.simplyhired.com/a/our-company/contact-us and select "Report a Problem".
