Post a Job Ad

If you have saved job ads in your Hiring Library you can find them by clicking Use Saved Jobs. You can edit the job information and company description before posting as new.

Additionally, If you have Enhanced Job Branding enabled on your account, this can be selected by clicking Use Layout Templates.

The Job Title, Job Location and Job Type must always be added, however the Salary, Other Salary Info, Postal and Reference Codes are optional.

The Job Title is the first key to optimising your job ad for search engines. Use Industry Standard titles, and avoid including additional information such as location, salary or work hours as the search engine connects these components in the background.

If you insert a Post Code your job ad will be better ranked in job search results and make it more likely to be found by candidates nearby.

Enter or edit your Company Name or choose to keep the company name confidential, if needed.

Under Company Industry you can select up to 3 industries. This field is optional.

With Monster you are able to choose between two apply methods:

• Standard Apply allows candidates to quickly apply via their Monster account. Applications will be sent to the email address you’ve provided, and will also be saved in your Monster account
• ATS Apply will redirect the candidates to your own Applicant Tracking System upon clicking the apply button. To use this option simply insert the link to the ATS Apply field. Monster will only keep track of candidates who click on the apply button.

If you don’t initially see the ATS option, you can easily enable it in your account settings. Just hover over the settings icon in the top right corner, click Account Settings, go to your account preferences and enable the ATS apply option. Don’t forget to Save your changes.

If you want to display company contact information to candidates, tick the box and fill in the information you would like candidates to see.

With Monster Hiring Library you are able to save your job ads and use them again when posting a similar job. Simply tick Save Job to Hiring Library.

By clicking on Preview you will see the job ad just as a candidate will see it. The Continue button will take you to the next page to complete posting your job ad. If you would like to continue creating the job ad later, click on Save for Later, and the job will receive the status Incomplete and you can open, edit and post the job at a later time.

Search location:
The region is automatically set to correspond to what you have filled in under Job location on the previous page. If you chose ‘No fixed location’, you will be asked to fill in a location. Click on ‘Browse List’ or type in the region and click on ‘Add’. If you have a job that you’d like to post in multiple locations, you will need to post a new job for each location.

Posting and Expiration Date:
You can either choose to post the job ad immediately or set a future posting date. Job ads with a future start date will be posted automatically.
You also have the option to set a Custom Expiration Date, however the job ad will naturally expire from the website after the posting has run its full duration.

By using one or a combination of Monsters Job Posting Enhancements, you can not only make your job ad more visible, but also reach a broader audience outside of the standard Monster Job Search.

Note: Some Monster product packages come pre-enhanced and include many of these additional features, therefore they will not appear on this page.

Here you can choose to add an Auto Reply Email to your job ad. You can also add this after the job ad is posted, please check out our more detailed guide Auto-Reply Messages.

When Auto Reply Letters are activated the candidate will receive an immediate response after completing their application. The letter could contain a “thank you for applying”, likely contact period and can be customized to include the candidates name, date of application etc. to make it a more personalized reply.

By clicking on Preview you will see the job ad just as a candidate will see it. The Continue button will take you to the next page to complete posting your job ad. If you would like to continue creating the job ad later, click on Save for Later, and the job will receive the status Incomplete and you can open, edit and post the job at a later time.

Within 1-2 hours your job will be active and visible to candidates on Monster. You can make edits free of charge whenever necessary. Pausing an active job is not possible. For more information on managing your job ads, please click on Manage Job Ads.
