Creating your Employer Account Creating an Employer Account will allow you to fully take advantage of the Job Board and Resume
Database. With an account ready-to-go, you’ll be able to purchase resumes, post jobs, and participate in
other activities from the first few moments of entering the website. Creating your account is simple and
user friendly:
1. On the career center homepage, select
“Employer” from the “Sign-in or Create
Account” dropdown menu. Alternatively,
select “Employers Login Today” under the
event/career fair you are planning to attend/
are attending.
2. The page you are directed to contains both a
login section at the top, and a Create an
Account system right underneath. Scroll
down if necessary to see the Create an
Account section.
3. Enter all required information.
Note: All required fields are marked with a red
asterisk.
Note: Make sure your email address and
password are stored in a safe place after you
create your account. You will need these to log
in to your account later.
4. Clicking “Create My Account” will bring you
to the primary account homepage, My
Account. This is the homepage for all
registered accounts.
Accessing your Employer Account Access your Employer Account to monitor the activity of any posted jobs, check for alerts and
messages, save candidate resumes, update your company profile for candidates to view, and
more. The more current and complete your company profile is, the more intriguing it looks to job
seekers. For more information on editing your profile, see the My Company section.
1. From the career center homepage, select “Employer” from the “Sign-in or Create Account”
dropdown menu. Alternatively, select “Employers Login Today” under the event/career fair you are
planning to attend/are attending.
2. The page you are directed to contains both a login section at the top, and a Create an Account
system right underneath. As you have already created your Employer Account, enter your email
address and password into the top section.

My Account After logging in, you will be directed to the “My Account” page, which serves as your homepage while
you are logged in to the Resume Database. This page contains a number of quick links and useful
tools to help you navigate the database.
At the top of every page, there will be a semi-permanent banner notifying you of any current or future
career fairs that you may not be registered for – this banner will appear on many of the pages on the
site.
Registering for career fairs is simple; you can navigate to the registration page at any time by clicking
the “Register here” button to the right of the career fair you are interested in.
Choose the sponsorship level that matches the sponsorship your company previously purchased, then
click “Register.”
Before you finalize your order, you can enter the coupon code that was previously sent to you for your
sponsorship level. Applying the coupon code will bring the Total Charges down to $0.
Please note: Coupon codes will only be sent to the Primary Contact of the company on the morning of
the granted access date. Coupon codes will be only applied for the specific sponsorship that the
company has purchased. Coupon codes can be distributed to multiple employees, but can only be
applied once per account.

The My Account area lets you manage any and all potential candidates during your recruitment
search. Your Current Account Status on the right side of this section lists any and all new messages
received on the website, the total number of applicants for any job postings you may have active, and
the total number of currently active jobs. On the left side, a number of quick links are available for easy
access, including Post a Job, Products / Pricing, Search Resumes, and the Terms & Conditions and
Privacy Policy.
On the homepage, you can view any career fairs that you are registered to participate in; this
subsection will list the name of each registered career fair, and the dates when they are occurring. You
can view any resumes from any attendees for each event by clicking the “View career fair attendees’
resumes” hyperlink; this link will take you to the specific Resume Bank page for each career fair.
The “My Message Inbox” is a condensed version of the Resume Database’s Mail Center page. From
here, you can view, reply and delete any messages received through the site.
At the bottom of the homepage, you can view any current Credits and Subscriptions. This subsection
details specifically how many credits for job postings or resume purchases you have remaining, when
your subscriptions began and when they are scheduled to end.

Post A Job You can access the Post a Job page through the Post a Job quick link; from there, it’s easy to create
job postings for prospective candidates.
If you previously created a job on the site and chose to save the job listing as a template, you can select
a template to use at the very top of the page. Selecting a template will automatically populate the
various fields on the page, saving plenty of time that otherwise would have been spent typing in
information about your job that may not change between listings. If you do not wish to use a previously
saved template, or if you have no previously saved templates, you can enter information into the
following fields to create your job posting.
Settings: Information that you enter into the Settings subsection is only visible to the Job Poster. In this
section you can enter a name for the job you will be posting; this name is not displayed to users, but will
be used to reference your job posting in your My Jobs tab.
This subsection has three important options that can be toggled freely:
Save as Template – This option saves the posted job as a template for later use. This is useful
when you repetitively recruit for the same job type.
Anonymous Posting – This option is useful if you do not want your company name listed in your job
posting.
Include Company Profile – This option makes your company profile and uploaded logo available
within the job posting for job seekers to view. Please note: this option is only available if you create
and/or update a Company Profile with your Employer Account; Access this by clicking on the
My Company tab.

name, the official title of the position, the categories that best fit your job posting’s specific industry and
job function, and what type of position your posting is. If you selected Anonymous Posting in the

duration of the position once a suitable candidate is hired, how much of the position consists of required
travel (in percentage), the minimum level and amount of education and experience the ideal candidate
will have, and a section to freely enter the salary expectations. There is also an additional radio button
that you can select if you want to advertise this posting as an entry level position.

Contact Information: Enter any relevant contact information for applicants to apply to the job.
Applications:
This is the final section before submitting your job posting to the Job Board.
You can specify here if you wish to accept online applications through the Job Board. If selected, any
applications submitted through the Job Board will be stored in your account, and you will be notified via
email to new job applicants. By adding additional recipients, you can add additional email accounts
that will be notified to newly submitted applications.
If you unselect the Allow Online Applications radio button, applicants will not be able to submit applica-
tions through the Job Board. Please ensure that the contact information listed above is accurate, as
this will be the only way for applicants to apply for your job posting.
When you finish creating your job posting, you have the option to preview the posting by clicking the
“Preview” button at the bottom of the page. This will show you what the job posting will look like to job
applicants. Ensure that the information listed for your job is correct. When finished, click “Continue” to
proceed to checkout.
The Review/Finalize Your Order page will list the total charge for your posting. You can enter your
billing & receipt information here. Upon finalizing your order, you will be directed to a page stating that
your job listing has been posted to the Job Board, and you will be given the option to return to your
Account Homepage.

Products / Pricing The Products page can be accessed through the navigation bar, and at all times via the Products /
Pricing grey button that appears above every page. This page will list all recruitment options and
packages available for purchase. Available packages can be purchased through this page, and you
have the option to pay with a credit card through this portal.
My Jobs You can view all of your posted jobs on the My Jobs page. If you have multiple jobs posted, you can
easily search through each one by utilizing the search bar. Not only can you search with a keyword
found in the job listing’s name, position, or description, or with the posted job’s company name, city or
Job ID Number, but you can also search specifically for jobs posted between two dates, jobs that are
currently active or expired, and even which state and country a job is located in through the Advanced
Search Options.
You can view more information and edit any existing job by hovering over the blue Action dropdown
menu icon to the right of each created job listed, then selecting one of the following options:
Edit: Edit a previously created position.
View Applicants: View any applicants for that specific position.
View Job Settings: View the full job posting in detail.
View Live Job: View the position through the Job Seeker user interface.
If you do not have any posted jobs, you can click on “Click here to post a new job” at the bottom of the
page to Post a Job.

By navigating to View Job Settings, you can edit, print and delete a specific job listing, as well as add a
Pre-screen Filter for your job posting. Pre-screen Filters can be created to effectively screen
candidates, thus boosting performance and minimizing the time cost. These filters can be created with
a number of different features, including True or False options, Multiple Choice, Short/Long text entry,
and a 1-10 rating scale. You can freely create your own screening questions, and in the case of the
True/False, Multiple Choice, Multiple Answer and 1-10 Rating systems, can label specific options as
disqualifiers, thus allowing you to automatically disqualify certain applications if they fail to pass your
screening (an example of this would be if you created a True/False screen posing the question “Would
you be willing to commute to work?” and marked the False option as a disqualifier. Anyone who selects
this option will be automatically disqualified and not counted into your total pool of possible candidates.

For more specific search requests, employers can
click on the Filter button in the top right of the page
and open a list of options that you can select to cre-
ate a customized, specific search. This list appears
over the website proper, and users can leave it by
clicking outside of the filter list. As you create a more
specific search, the number of results may decrease.
Proper usage of the filter system will help to
effectively screen candidates for your position, thus
minimizing time costs and boosting performance.
The Resume Bank is one of the best benefits of the Job Board. This page allows employers to browse
an unlimited number of resumes posted here by applicants and send job seekers messages to discuss
opportunities. Employers can use the Resume Search Bar to search for generic keywords or a specific
Candidate ID, which will pull either several resumes that feature the searched-for keyword or a specific
resume that matches the Candidate ID number entered. Users only need to enter the keyword or ID
that they want to search for, then either click the Search button to the right of the bar, or hit Enter on
their keyboards. You can sort the resumes via the “Sort” dropdown menu, and navigate between
pages of resumes by clicking on the number bar and arrows on either side of the numbers.

Clicking on the Filter button will open a Filter
screen on the left side of the screen. By clicking
on different options in this menu, employers can
create an extremely specific search looking for
resumes that fit several criteria.
The filter system includes options such as
Employment Type, Years of Experience, Current
Place of Residence and Education Status, as
well as options such as if applicants have a
Preferred Program, what Events/Career Fairs
they will be attending in the near future, and
what Type of Employment they are seeking.
Multiple options can be chosen from each
individual dropdown menu, and employers can
even save a specific series of conditions as a
customized search by scrolling to the bottom of
the filter list, entering a search name, and
clicking “Save Search.”
After selecting the filters you want, you simply
need to click on the main portion of the window
to look at your now filtered list of resumes. To
clear the filters chosen, simply close out the
individual filter selections by hitting the blue
“X” by each one, or click on “clear all” above
the filters.
In the filter menu there are options to filter resumes by Attendee and Attending Events. Filtering by
a specific “Attendee” means that resumes submitted to a specific event by a job seeker will appear
based on which “Attendee” options you choose. Filtering by “Attending Event” means that
resumes with job seekers physically attending the selected events will be shown. Filtering by
“Attending Event” is useful if you wish to conduct physical interviews during the event; although
there may be resumes with an “Attendee” tag, the job seekers may not be physically attending
those events.
My Candidates The My Candidates page is your hub for finding new candidates and reviewing existing ones. You can
search for resumes and candidates across the entire Job Board network via the Search for Resumes
subsection, while you can search through candidates that have applied for your open positions through
the My Candidate Pool subsection. Searches can be conducted using keywords and general locations
of candidates, or specific information such as a candidate’s name, contact information, or Candidate ID.

My Company You can manage your Company Profile on this page, which will be visible to any job seekers who wish
to learn more about your company. By creating a Company Profile, you can add basic information such
as your company’s name, parent company and subsidiaries, current CEO, what industry and type of
company it is, and any notable clientele, as well as adding a more detailed overview and history of your
company. A logo can also be uploaded to your profile.
This page also includes resources to review any Colleagues you may have added or want to add, as
well as the different account contacts and how they are notified by the website. Clicking on Add New
Colleague will direct you to the My Clients page, which you can use to link other employers’ profiles to
your resume searches. Any Colleagues you add will be linked to your Company, and will be displayed in
the My Account Contacts subsection. You can set each account listed here to represent one of three
types of Contacts on the Job Board: Main Account contacts, Billing contacts, and Resume contacts. You
can view and edit contact information for each connected account by clicking on the View / Edit option to
the right of each connected account, and delete connected accounts by clicking on the Delete option.
Please refer to the My Clients section for more details on granting Types and permissions to accounts..

My Clients You can view any added colleagues or add a new colleague through this page. Adding colleagues
allows you to connect with other employers, recruiters and ad agencies that are also registered in the
Resume Database. You can create and check for accounts by verifying email addresses; when adding a
new colleague, you must select a Colleague Type to grant permissions to. If you invite a colleague who
did not previously have a Job Board account created, they will need to set up a new password by
clicking Forgot your password or having trouble logging in? at the login page.
You can grant permissions for your colleagues, recruiters and ad agencies, and request permissions
from your colleagues who are also registered on the website. Granting your colleagues permissions will
allow you to share information and duties more easily with your colleagues, granting you the ability to
have a colleague follow up on candidates you are interested in on your behalf, for instance.
My Templates The My Templates page can help make your recruitment easier by allowing you to re-use text templates
for multiple common tasks. You can save templates to each of the three subsections: My Letter
Templates for any email-based templates, My Job Templates for any templates used for job postings
and My Filter Templates for any pre-screen filter templates for screening job applicants.
These templates must be saved to this page individually.
Help Section The Help Section lists several important resources if you ever need assistance with the Resume
Database. From assistance with registration and validation to trouble logging in, to Customer Service
addresses, the Help Section is the best place to find support for your problems.
