Set Up Job Posting Purchase Options
You can offer Job Postings to your members as a free benefit, or you can charge for listings to generate non-dues revenue. In the Job Posting Settings, you will be able to configure your fees for job postings, as well as configure credit card processing options.
- Click Setup in the left-hand menu.
- Click Job Posting Settings in the "Association Information" section.

-
Configure the following:
-
Notification Email: Select a staff email for the staff member who should receive a notification when a new job posting is purchased. This email is only sent if you are charging for hot deals. To receive a notification that a Hot Deal has been submitted and may need approval, subscribe to this under Setup > Association Employees/Reps.
-
Fee Item: Select the fee item with which the job posting will be associated. The fee item (Member Due) must be created in the Billing or QuickBooks module to have the Fee Item selection available here. Fees for jobs are charged on a week-by-week basis only. Click here for instructions on setting up fee items. If the Fee Item option is left blank, members and the general public will NOT be charged for job postings. If a fee IS entered, it will only apply to those who submit through the MIC (e.g. typically members). See the note below for public job posting submissions.
-
Item Price: Enter the price for the job postings, this is a per-week price. NOTE: You may set up pricing for both basic packages and enhanced packages by clicking the More Pricing Options button. The Enhanced Package option will only apply if you have purchased the Marketing Package.
-
Invoicing Options: NOTE: Cash payment is not available as a payment method for job postings.
-
Enable invoicing as a payment option for job posting purchases - select this option if you wish to allow members to be invoiced when they enter a job posting online. NOTE: The checkbox is only available if you have selected a fee item.
-
Automatically create a paid invoice for credit card payments - select this option if you want to automatically create a paid invoice when a job posting is purchased by a credit card.

- In the Public Search section, configure the following:
-
Enable job search by postal code/city - This selection will turn on the ability for job seekers to search for job postings based on the postal code and city that is entered in the Contact Information of the job posting. When enabled, this geographic search is available in the public job search page and also in the Member Information Center. Note: Geo-coding of the zip and/or city happens when jobs are entered from the MIC or the public page. If there is a zip or city on the Contact Information of the job posting then the zip/postal information on the associated member record will be looked at. At present, updates to the zip and/or city on the Contact Information in the job posting do NOT update the geocoding.
-
Enable custom search options - This setting allows you to include additional criteria for job seekers to use when searching for job postings. For example, you might include a Salary Range attribute. NOTE: All custom criteria will display as options when a new job posting is being submitted. Only the custom criteria that are associated with the active jobs will display as search options when job seekers are searching for a job. Click the add/edit custom search attributes link to add and/or edit attribute groups.
