Free Resume Filters vs. Preferred Membership Filters

This post is a long time in coming as one of the more frequent questions we receive from employers is a result of confusion over which resume filters are free and which ones require the Preferred Membership.

We term a resume filter as a selection by the employer on how to narrow down resume results, whether it is keywords, category, location, etc.

The full resume search form only appears after you login, and there are two sets of filters, free and premium. The filters on the top are free and they include "keyword", "city", "state", and "zip" or "province". The filters that require the Preferred Membership come next, "category filtering", "only title matching", etc.

For Non-Preferred Members listing both types of filters gives you the ability to try out the premium filters and see what search results appear. However, if the premium filters are selected you will not be able to see the resume details. This was causing a lot of confusion for people who were trying to view free resumes but didn't understand what happens when a premium filter like a "category" is selected.

We have included more verbose language between the free and premium filters which explains what happens if a premium filter is selected. We hope that this makes the resume search page more clear on what is free and what requires the Preferred Membership. If there is more exact language that is easeier to understand please let us know via our Contact Page

Jobvertise Web Links in Job Description Contact Information

In an effort to reduce spam and as per Google and other guidelines Jobvertise has changed how links are displayed on job description pages. Within those pages you can list contact information including a web link back to your site.

For the web link we have added a special tag which still allows the links to act normally, but this link doesn't count towards your search engine rating. By automatically adding the rel=nofollow tag there is no incentive to spam our database in hopes of simply promoting a web site.

Jobvertise increases security with new CAPTCHA

Jobvertise has changed the CAPTCHA interface for employers and recruiters wishing to log in. The CAPTCHA system is necessary to prevent bots and automated logins to Jobvertise.

We have upgraded the old image format from 5 letters and numbers to the new system which requires 2 words to be entered. We are using the reCAPTCHA system which is highly secure and also provides some of our users accessiblity with spoken words so they can use our system easily.

We apologize for the inconvenience for having to use CAPTCHA at all, but we do take our users privacy very seriously and owe it to them to have a higly secure environment.

The new CAPTCHA system can be seen at the employer login page.
