Understanding Job/Volunteer Posts

Share Open Positions and Volunteer Opportunities with Your Community

If you have an open job or volunteer opportunity to promote, you can use the Job/Volunteer Post tool to create a listing.

Your post will appear on your business profile, in your content feed, and—if you're connected with other organizations through our Local Connections™ feature—on their feeds as well.

To Get Started

You can create a Job or Volunteer Post in a few different ways:

• Go to the Job Postings section and click 'New Job'

• Use the 'New Job' button under Manage Jobs

• Or click 'New Job/Volunteer Opportunity' from the Quick Access bar at the top of the screen

Creating Your Job/Volunteer Posting

Once clicked, you'll be taken to a form where you can enter the details of your opportunity. Here’s what to include:

1. Job Type - Choose whether this is a Paid Job or a Volunteer Opportunity.
2. Title - This is key for visibility, engagement, and SEO. Make it clear and concise—include keywords or phrases that will resonate with your audience.
3. Image or Media - Every post should include an image or embedded media:
   

   Use Add Image to upload or choose from previously uploaded images. Reusing images is totally fine—just make sure they’re relevant to the opportunity.

   Or go to the Embed tab to include media like a YouTube video

4. Description (Main Content) - This is the heart of your post. It can be as short or detailed as you’d like—bullet points work well. Share the story behind the role and any relevant details, such as responsibilities, qualifications, or goals.

5. Target Start Date - Let applicants know when you'd ideally like the person to start—especially helpful for seasonal or project-based roles.

6. Schedule Type - Choose from: Full Time, Part Time, Intern, Contract, Freelance, Seasonal, One-Time, Project, Ongoing, or Other.

7. Compensation Type and Range - Set both the compensation type and range: Hourly, Project, Salary, Commission, Negotiable, or Unpaid.

8. Application Deadline - Set a deadline to give candidates a clear timeline for applying.

9. Business Location - The location will default to your business address, but you can also enter a different business location, create a new 'venue' (business location) if not found in the search bar, or mark the position as a virtual job (remote).

These settings help your post perform better when shared and improve how it appears in search results.

• Share Image for Social – This image will appear when your post is shared on platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn. Choose something eye-catching and relevant.

• Meta Description for Google & Social – Write a short, compelling summary (1–2 sentences) that describes the opportunity and encourages clicks.

• URL – Include a link to an external website or application page—such as your company’s job board or a dedicated application form.

Save or Publish - When you're finished, click Publish Post and Share to make it live.
