​

They are designed to help employers attract more attention, receive applications faster, and improve exposure to highly relevant candidates.

Featured listings are available as part of eligible paid membership plans.


What Is a Featured Job?

A Featured Job is a highlighted job posting that receives:

  • Priority placement

  • Increased visibility

  • Premium styling

  • Additional candidate exposure

Featured jobs are visually distinguished from standard listings using special highlighted styling.


Where Featured Jobs Appear

Featured Jobs receive expanded visibility across the platform.

They may appear:

  • On the homepage

  • Highlighted & top placement in search results

  • Highlighted & top placement in public role/category listings

  • Highlighted & top placement in candidate recommendation sections

Featured jobs are also prioritized in:

  • Recommended Jobs inside candidate dashboards

  • Matching candidate discovery systems


Additional Candidate Promotion

Featured Jobs may also receive additional promotional exposure through:

  • Email notifications

  • SMS notifications

  • Live chat notifications

  • Platform marketing campaigns

  • Social media promotions

  • Advertising campaigns such as Meta Ads and Google Ads

Promotional targeting is generally focused on candidates with matching roles or relevant interests.


Benefits of Featured Jobs

Featured listings can help employers:

  • Increase job visibility

  • Receive applications faster

  • Reach more relevant candidates

  • Improve click-through rates

  • Build additional candidate trust

Featured styling also helps listings stand out visually from regular job postings.


Who Can Use Featured Jobs?

Featured Jobs are available for eligible paid membership plans.

Free employer accounts do not currently have access to featured job placement.

Availability and featured duration depend on your active subscription plan.


How Long Featured Status Lasts

Featured duration depends on your membership plan and subscription benefits.

Once the featured period ends:

  • The job remains active

  • The highlighted styling is removed

  • The listing becomes a standard non-featured job


What Happens if a Subscription Expires?

If your subscription expires:

  • Featured benefits are removed once expired

  • The listing follows free plan limitations and rules

  • Jobs may become paused depending on your account limits

If the job itself remains active, it will continue as a standard non-featured listing where applicable.


How Featured Jobs Improve Visibility

Featured Jobs receive stronger exposure because they are:

  • More prominently displayed

  • Prioritized in recommendations

  • Highlighted visually

  • Promoted to matching candidates

This can significantly improve candidate engagement and application volume.


Troubleshooting

Why is my job no longer featured?

Featured status may end because:

  • The featured duration expired

  • Your subscription changed

  • Your membership no longer includes featured placement

The job may still remain active as a regular listing.

Can free employers feature jobs?

No. Featured Jobs are currently available only through eligible paid membership plans.

Does featuring a job guarantee applications?

No. While featured jobs receive increased visibility, application results still depend on:

  • Job quality

  • Compensation

  • Role demand

  • Candidate-market fit

  • Job description quality


Pro Tip

Featured Jobs perform best when combined with:

  • Clear job titles

  • Transparent compensation

  • Detailed descriptions

  • Strong company profiles

The combination of premium visibility and high-quality job content can significantly improve hiring results on OnlineJobs.
