Organization Information

Note: To minimize your entry time when you later post job announcements, most of the information you will provide in this section is used to automatically prepopulate corresponding fields in CIG's job posting form. Any of this information you do not wish displayed in your ad should be deleted.

Organization Name: Employers are encouraged to list their organization umbrella name, as you may specify a department in the "Department" field. When completing this box, consider that the name entered here will be used in any alphabetized list of employers. Thus, the "County of Washington" may appear in a different location then "Washington County".

Total Employees: This is the total number of employees in the work force for which the above named organization is responsible for recruiting and hiring, regardless of whether they are full-time, part-time or seasonal. In most cases, this is the total number of employees authorized in the organization's operating budget. In the absence of an exact figure, please provide your best estimate.

Agency Seal or Other Image: On each employer's profile page, as well as on each employer's job post, space is reserved for an image of your choice. Most agencies choose to insert their agency's seal, however you are free to place any image you like here (if left blank, CIG inserts a default image with flags of the world). The image field is pre-configured to be 150 pixels square (about an 1.25 inches on a 17" monitor) and only .GIF and .JPG format should be used. Nearly every agency will be sure to have someone who is familiar with these specifications!

To upload your image to CIG, click on the browser button to the right of the field, select the image file from its location and double click to make it appear in the designated field. It is that easy! Note, with some browsers you will need to exit and reopen the browser to view your image in place.

Description: Information entered here will be viewed as the narrative portion of your CIG Employer Profile. Employers often use this space to describe their organization including its size, governing structure, operating budget and number of employees. It is also a place to describe the host community's appeal as a place to live and work. Copy and paste information into this space from an existing document or your own web site to quickly and easily complete this optional field, and make your agency an "employer of choice". Generous space is provided, however we find a one or two paragraph profile has the best odds of being read.

Web Address (URL): The address you enter in this field will appear on your CIG Employer Profile page. Most often, it is the employer's home page, however you can enter any page you like. If your organization does not have its own web site, you may wish to insert a community information page such as the local Chamber of Commerce.

Job Post

Summary: Include a brief summary of the job in this space. Currently, the summary is displayed on the same page as the full job description, so it need not be more than a sentence or two in length, though there is ample field space to make it longer. In the future, the job summary may be displayed elsewhere on the site, such as in the search return, or as part of the Personal Search Agent message.

Job Category: Select as many applicable job categories as you like. Depress the "control" key on your keyboard while left clicking with your mouse to highlight desired category(ies). The same process is used to remove a highlighted category.

Salary: Job seekers like to know as much as they can about the compensation package provided for in an advertised position. Salary may be entered with or without dollar signs and commas and the display will automatically format it correctly. A salary will be expressed in dollars and cents if a decimal point is entered. To express a fixed salary, rather than a range, please enter the same salary in both the "from" and "to" fields. Be sure to denote the salary period in the drop down box immediately below the salary fields. Other salary information, such as multiple pay steps, shift premiums and such should be included in the job "Description" or "Special Instruction" fields. Finally, in addition to providing salary data, it is recommended that you include fringe benefit information as well in the narrative fields. This is particularly advisable in cases where the salary may be under market, or where the benefits are uniquely appealing.

In cases where the salary is negotiable or DOQ (depending on qualifications), check the box in lieu of filling in the salary range fields. Should you wish to inform job seekers that the salary for a position is "negotiable" within a specific range, i.e. "Salary mid-to-high $80's" you can either enter $85,000 to $90,000 in the salary range box, or leave the ranges blank and check "Negotiable". Regardless of which method you choose, we recommend you include the phrase in the text of the job description or special instructions.

Display Date: Enter the date you wish this job ad to be publicly viewable. You can enter today's date, or any date in the future. The current format is Year-Month-Date, i.e. 2001-11-03.

End Display Date: Enter the date you wish this job ad to be removed from public view. You can enter any future date. The current format is Year-Month-Date, i.e. 2001-11-03. Your ad will automatically be removed on the specified date. Employers may manually edit, disable and re-enable the job at anytime by going "Manage Jobs" in the "Company Info" menu. Please note, extending the end display date beyond the 60-day single ad term may trigger additional advertising charges (does not apply to monthly or annual access clients).

Apply by: If this recruitment has a "last day to apply by" or "closing" date, enter it here. Alternatively, other brief instructions may be inserted such as, "Open Until Filled", "Apply Immediately".

Managing Jobs:

Careersingovernment permits employers to actively manage their job portfolio. Once a job is posted it remains in the employer's CIG archive of jobs. When a job posting is "enabled", it is ready to be "activated", or displayed as per the effective date. To "disable the job posting" click on the disable icon. A job may be edited at any time, regardless of its abling or activation status, just by clicking on the edit icon. The "managing job" screen also provides employers with valuable information regarding job ad activity. Employers can learn how many times their ad has been returned in a job seeker search, and how many times the full add was actually opened and viewed.
