Posting a job

Employers can post job openings on OfferUp Jobs to connect with qualified local candidates. The FAQs below will help you learn more about posting a job.

Note

We’re always testing new and improved features in the app. As a result, some features may not be available to all users at the same time. 


Who can post a job?

At this time, only businesses can post jobs on OfferUp. Individuals (non-business entities) cannot post jobs. For more information on our jobs policies, see Prohibited Jobs Guidelines.

You can post your job from our mobile app or from the web at OfferUp.com.

In the app On the web
  1. Open the app and log in to your account. If you don't have one, create an account

What information do I need to provide to create a job listing?

To create a job listing, you’ll be asked to provide the following information:

  • Job Location (zip code)
  • Optional: Workplace Type (on-site, remote, or hybrid)
  • Job Title
  • Job Description
  • Job Category (such as customer service or hospitality)
  • Employment Type (part-time, full-time, or gig)
  • Optional: Shift Type (day, night, swing, or flexible)
  • Optional: Pay (a fixed amount or salary range)
  • Company Name
  • Optional: Company Logo (upload a JPG no larger than 5 MB)
  • Apply Method (website, email, or phone)

Can I post job listings in bulk or get volume pricing?

Yes! If you’re an employer or staffing agency that posts more than 10 jobs a month and you’re interested in volume/wholesale pricing, automated job feeds, or industry-specific offerings, please complete our Jobs Contact Form. A member of our team will reach out to discuss how OfferUp can help support your business.

How long will my job listing stay active in the feed?

Your job listing stays active for 30 days from the date of purchase. When it expires, it will be removed from the feed. Expired job listings remain on your private My Jobs page and cannot be reposted to the public feed. If your listing has expired, but you want to keep promoting your job, you'll need to create a new listing and pay a new listing fee.

How do I check to make sure my job is live in the feed?

To check if your job is live in the feed, search for it by job title or company name. Make sure to set the correct location or zip code for where the job is listed.

Please note, while some listings may post immediately or within a few hours, it could take up to 24 hours for your listing to post to the feed. Delays are due to our thorough review process which helps us detect and prevent scams on our platform. You don't need to take any action during this process. If your listing does not meet our posting guidelines, we’ll notify you by email that it cannot be posted.

Can I get refunded for a job listing?

We don’t offer refunds for job listings. However, if our automation mistakenly removed your listing, we can review your request for a refund. Just keep in mind that if your listing doesn’t follow our Prohibited Jobs or Community Guidelines, we won’t be able to offer a refund. To submit a refund request, select the Contact Us button below, then select Disputing My Item's Removal and complete the required fields.

How do applicants apply to my job?

You choose how you want job applicants to apply when you create your job listing. On the Post a Job page, select an Apply Method to direct applicants to your Website, or to contact you by Email or Phone to start the application process. Depending on your selection, you’ll need to provide a website URL, email address, or phone number. If you'd like to change the Apply Method you selected, you can edit your listing at any time from your My Jobs page. 

The Apply Method dropdown allows you to select how people will apply to your job.

NOTE

Job candidates and employers cannot message each other through the OfferUp app or OfferUp.com. All communication between applicants and employers occurs outside of the app or website.

Can I see if anyone’s looking at my job?

Yes! See how candidates are engaging with your listings using the jobs Insights dashboard. For more information, see Hire smarter with Insights.

NOTE

OfferUp cannot provide data on how many job seekers actually apply to your listings since all applications occur via third-party websites, phone, or email.

 

The position was filled or is no longer available. How do I close my job listing?

You can close your job listing either through our mobile app or on the web at OfferUp.com. To learn how, see Managing your job listing.
