The advertised $199 option includes a 60-day listing, Featured Listing status, homepage Featured Jobs placement, social media promotion, and matching candidate job-alert promotion. Foundation List also sends newsletters that feature selected jobs, including featured positions when included in those sends.

The current 30- and 45-day pricing plans list social media promotional support and matching candidate job-alert inclusion. Alerts are based on subscriber interests and matching preferences rather than a sitewide email blast. Review the plan comparison for details.

No. Eligible complete jobs are shared with external aggregation and discovery partners, including Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and Google for Jobs, to expand reach. External platforms independently determine visibility and acceptance. Listings appear for a limited time on those platforms and are not guaranteed to remain visible throughout the full Foundation List posting duration.

No. Results depend on the role, location, compensation, qualifications, market conditions, application method, and strength of the job description. A listing provides an opportunity for visibility and candidate discovery, not a guaranteed number of impressions, applications, interviews, or hires.

Employers can return to their account to manage and post additional jobs. Stored job descriptions can simplify editing and reposting. For current purchase options or billing questions, use the employer login or contact the team.

Visit Create Account & Post Jobs, enter your organization and contact details, and follow the prompts to create your employer login. Then submit the job title, location, responsibilities, compensation details where available, organization description, and application instructions. Review the listing and select your posting option.

Use the employer login to access your account and manage job postings. Use the password recovery option on that page if you cannot sign in. Avoid creating a duplicate employer account if you already have one.

While logged in, visit Foundation List, select Post Jobs in the main menu, then Manage Jobs & Account. Select Edit Jobs, choose the posting you want to revise, make the changes, and save.

Closing the Foundation List listing does not guarantee immediate removal from every external aggregator.

Yes. Employers can direct candidates to their own careers page or applicant tracking system (ATS) so applications follow their existing recruiting process. If your job sends candidates to an external application website, those applications will not appear in your Foundation List employer dashboard. Instead, review applications in the external website or ATS you selected. This is expected behavior and does not mean applicants were lost. Check that your application link opens the correct job, not an unrelated landing page.

If you chose to direct candidates to your organization’s careers website or an external applicant tracking system (ATS), applications are submitted through that external system rather than Foundation List. They will not show in your Foundation List employer dashboard. Check the external careers platform or ATS for application records. If your listing instead uses Foundation List’s own application process and something appears incorrect, contact our team with the job title and your employer account email.

The current pricing options advertise employer logo visibility, and the featured plan notes unlimited word count. Include a useful title, responsibilities, required and preferred qualifications, salary range where appropriate or legally required, location expectations, benefits, and a clear application route. More complete postings are easier for candidates to evaluate.

Describe employment type, expected schedule, geographic eligibility, onsite requirements, contract duration, and pay structure accurately.

Yes. The 60-day featured option includes social media promotion and matching candidate job alerts.
