Entities 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 may 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.

 

Quality Guidelines - Job Description & Related Content

  • Be truthful in your representation of your company and the job that you are looking to fill.
  • Provide the real company name for each job posting.
  • Provide as much description and detail as possible about your company and job, without providing extraneous, superfluous, or unrelated content; aim for 1 to 3 paragraphs.
  • Avoid liberal use of punctuation (e.g., !, $, ?, *) and capitalization.
  • Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings, such as keyword stuffing or using keywords that are irrelevant to your company and job.
  • Consider this rule of thumb: would you feel comfortable explaining what you have done to a company that competes with you? 
Another useful test is to ask, "Does this help job seekers? Would I do this on my own site?"
  • Do not violate US Equal Employment Opportunity laws. You cannot discriminate based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disabilities, or genetic information.
  • Proof-read your content, because you are responsible for the accuracy and grammatical correctness of all content that you provide.


Quality Guidelines - Posting Principles

  • Provide unique and relevant content that adds value to the job seeker experience; only post each job opening once.
  • Provide job content to Simply Hired that matches the job content on your site, if you have one.
  • Provide an efficient process for job seekers to view the details for a job and apply to that job. 

  • Provide accurate and up-to-date content including removal of expired job listings.
  • Provide an easily identifiable apply option:
    • If you are an Employer, you must either allow seekers to directly email an application to you or submit an application on the first landing page that a seeker is taken to after upon leaving Simply Hired.
    • If you are a Job Board or other 3rd party site, you must allow seekers 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 submit jobs that are aggregated from other sources.
  • Do not charge any fee or require a login for a job seeker to see the full job description.
  • Do not charge a fee for a job seeker to apply to your job.
  • Do not display job listings provided by third parties on landing pages or during the apply 
process.


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.
