If your job posting was rejected, it usually means the listing did not meet OnlineJobs platform guidelines or moderation requirements.
Our moderation system helps maintain a safe, trustworthy, and high-quality experience for both employers and candidates.
In most cases, rejected jobs can be edited and resubmitted for approval.
Common Reasons a Job May Be Rejected
Your job posting may be rejected for one or more of the following reasons.
Incomplete Job Information
Jobs may be rejected if important details are missing, unclear, or inconsistent.
Examples:
Missing precise compensation information
Very short job descriptions
Missing responsibilities or requirements
Unclear job titles
Misleading or Inaccurate Content
We do not allow misleading job listings or unrealistic hiring claims.
Examples:
False compensation promises
Misleading job responsibilities
Fake company information
Unrealistic earning claims
Duplicate Job Listings
Posting the same or nearly identical job multiple times may trigger rejection.
We recommend updating an existing listing instead of creating duplicates.
External Contact Information
Public job descriptions should not include:
Direct email addresses
Phone numbers
Messaging app usernames
Requests to apply outside the platform
This helps protect candidates from spam and keeps communication centralized on OnlineJobs.
You may share contact details privately after progressing with a candidate during the hiring process.
Prohibited or Unsafe Content
Jobs involving prohibited, unsafe, illegal, or deceptive activities are not allowed on the platform.
This includes:
Fraudulent opportunities
Requests for upfront payments from candidates
Misleading financial schemes
Harmful or abusive content
Low-Quality or Spam-Like Listings
Listings may be rejected if they appear:
Auto-generated without useful details
Extremely repetitive
Promotional instead of recruitment-focused
Difficult for candidates to understand
What Happens After Rejection?
If your job is rejected:
The listing will remain hidden from public view
You will usually receive a notification explaining the reason
You may edit the listing and resubmit it for review
How to Fix a Rejected Job
To improve approval chances:
Open the rejected job from the My Jobs section.
Review the rejection reason carefully.

Save and resubmit the listing.
Most corrected listings are reviewed again within a few hours.
Serious Terms of Service Violations
In cases involving serious policy violations, OnlineJobs may:
Reject the listing permanently
Restrict account features
Suspend or close the employer account
These actions help maintain platform safety and candidate trust.
Tips to Avoid Rejection
We recommend:
Writing detailed and accurate job descriptions

Avoiding external contact details in public listings
Clear and professional listings are more likely to be approved quickly.
