As an employer you can create and activate a freelancer profile under the same account. To do this log-in and select PROFILES from the grey navigation bar and then select to CREATE a freelancer profile. Once this has been created you can then subscribe.
Before any job goes live on the jobs board the PB admin team verifies and quality checks all postings. If you have included details in the job description that gives your companies identity away, for example, your company name, contact details then these will be removed and edited if necessary. To read PB’s Job Posting Guidelines click here.
By default all jobs posted remain there for 30 days. You can remove a job from the jobs board at anytime. To do this simply log-in and select JOBS from the navigation bar followed by MANAGE JOBS from the row of sub-options underneath. All active and inactive jobs will appear on this page. Select EXPIRE to immediately remove the post from the jobs board.
PB will allow an employer to re-open any previous job that has been posted up to 90 days after it originally expired. This will allow you to continue to receive applications and manage them under the same job reference number. To do this simply log-in and select JOB from the navigation bar followed by MANAGE JOBS from the row of sub-options underneath. Select EXTEND to reopen the position. Please note, when a job is reopened relevant freelancers will not be notified again. If you wish to update the post and have it re-sent to freelancers please post it as a new job.
PB allows you to copy and re-post any vacancy that has expired. When you repost a job all of the original detail will be copied over and a new reference number will be assigned to the job posting. Applicants that originally applied will be able to apply again and you can edit any of the information or criteria questions as required.
When posting a job on PB you can select for members to apply either by email, via a website, by post or telephone. Most employers prefer to use the email application method. This allows you to receive application notifications by email whilst concealing your personal contact details.
Before we post any job live on the jobs board the PB admin team applies quality checks before approving it and sending it out to our members. All jobs are posted within 1 hour. Click here to read our Job Posting Guidelines.
