Identify Previously Viewed Resumes

We have added a new feature to the resume search which helps you identify resumes that you have already viewed.

Previously the only way to know if you viewed a resume was noticing the color of the browsers link on the resume title. Typically, unclicked links are blue, and links you have already clicked on turn maroon.

There are several problems with that, including the browser link "reset" setting can be a variable number of days depending on the browser. Also deleting temporary files can also reset these links to blue. And of course, if you have multiple people sharing an account using different computers the color links will not be correct.


We have added an "eye" icon which is present next to the title of every resume you have viewed. This is on a per account basis, so users sharing an account will also see that they or someone else has viewed the resume.

Below is the "eye" icon indicating the resume was previously viewed:


Note that if you hover your mouse over the eye icon when doing a resume search you will see the date that the resume was viewed on.

This feature will help you save time and allow goups of recruiters to use the Jobvertise Resume Database more efficiently!

How to Avoid the Jobvertise CAPTCHA Security Test

Lately we have received a lot of customer feedback that users are having difficulties logging in because the Jobvertise CAPTCHA security check is hard to read.

The CAPTCHA security check allows us to tell if the login is from a human or an automated script. This prevents automatic downloading of data which is a violation of our policies and also can be used for less than ethical purposes.

Paid Jobvertise Resume Plans bypass CAPTCHA

We understand the hassle, and are trying to come up with solutions for this. One thing we are doing right now is not checking the CAPTCHA for those who have current premium resume searching plans.

A side benefit of the paid plans is that we are able to confirm a credit card or other payment method which significantly lowers the risk of abuse of our system. Because of the lower risk at this point we are comfortable not checking CAPTCHA for these accounts.

NOTE: Even if you have a paid resume search plan the CAPTCHA box will still be present on the login page, but you can ignore it. It is still there because we do not know who is logging in until after the login form is filled out.

Cannot Read the CAPTCHA?

For those using the free services we offer you still must pass the CAPTCHA security test. However, if you see words you cannot figure out you can either click your browsers reload button or click the small icon in the CAPTCHA with the two curved arrows.

The refresh button inside the CAPTCHA box is better than the browser refresh button because you won't lose the information you already typed in the previous fields. You can continue pressing the icon until you get words you can read.

If you have any questions or comments please contact support via our feedback form .

Jobvertise November News

New Resume Searching Plan Update

We are happy to report great success with our new tiered Resume Searching Plans. Giving employers and recruiters more options to choose appropriate levels of membership benefits everyone. If one of the plans does not meet your needs please contact us for a custom resume searching quote. Of course, there is no obligation to move to a paid plan, you can always use the free basic resume searching.


The most frequent Job Posting Question

Probably the most frequent question asked regarding job posting is when an employer or recruiter makes a job post and then immediately searches for it in our database but cannot find it. It can take up to two hours for job posts to show up in our database. This is due to caching of job searches and further checks we do on the job posting to see if it meets our quality standards. We cache the job searches to reduce the load on our web site due to the volume of hits especially during peak traffic times. Also we do further checks on the job posting to make sure candidates get the best quality jobs.

Jobvertise Partnership

Jobvertise is pleased to report that we have partnered with AdsDeck Jobs to increase our job distribution reach. We look forward to a long term mutually beneficial relationship.

Jobvertise July News


Last weekend we updated Jobvertise to increase internal security. The upgrade to Jobvertise resulted in less than 15 minutes of downtime in order to install the changes. We apologize to anyone who was affected by this upgrade. We are doing a lot behind the scenes now, users should not notice any changes but rest assured we are working hard to make the site better.

Jobvertise has seen an significant increase in traffic over the past few weeks, we are always working to increase visitors and provide our customers with as many candidates as possible. On a related note our database is approaching one million resumes! More information on that later as we get close to the magic number.

Use Social Media with Jobvertise

Use Social Media With Jobvertise

Promote your Jobs with LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and More

Dear Employer/Recruiter,

Jobvertise offers you easy to use tools to help promote your jobs on social networking sites. Below are some tips to save you time.

Use the Social Media Buttons in Jobvertise

After you log into Jobvertise you will see the common Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter logos. Clicking on a logo will take you to the respective site with a pre-filled link to show a web page containing all of your jobs. If you are not logged into the social networking site you will be prompted to do so, and then all you need to do is confirm the post. This is a good way to promote a web page with all of your jobs.

While that is convenient, it is better to display each job separately. This will give the social networking sites more content to match on searches and more keywords to catch people's attention. To do this you can log into Jobvertise and click on the 'Add, Edit, and Promote Jobs' link. This will give you a list of jobs with the social networking logos next to each job. From there you can click on an icon for each job. As before you will see that it pre-fills the links and titles with the individual job information. From there you can modify the information as necessary and confirm the post.

Your Social Media Web Page

To make promoting your jobs as easy as possible we also prepared a web page for your account with social media buttons. It also includes html links for each job in your account so you can easily post the links to alternative social media websites.

(replace YOUR_MEMBERID with the MemberID you use to login to Jobvertise)

Happy New Year and Happy 2011 Recruiting

2010 was a great year for Jobvertise, we hope you had a great holiday season. However, if you are like most recruiters it's prime time to get to work! Our candidates obviously drop off towards the end of December, but now that the holidays are over job hunting starts to ramp up so you should take advantage of this time of year.

If you don't already have a Jobvertise account there's no excuse to not get going because much of the site is free. You can search resumes (with some restrictions) and post basic jobs at no charge. We do this so you can try our services without needing funding approval from anyone in your organization and can get going right away. We don't like waiting for things when we try to get work done, and probably neither do you. You can create an account at www.jobvertise.com to get started immediately. We hope that the site will work great for you and will consider the premium membership to get all the bells and whistles. But if you only want to use the free services that's ok too!

For those of you who have accounts please log in and post your jobs by clicking on "Add/Edit Jobs". This is your main control area where you can do all kinds of maintenance and keep your listings up-to-date.

And don't forget to upload your jobs to LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter to get extra exposure. We make it easy for you to utilize these social networking sites.

You can run some resume searches and also set up 'Resume Alerts' which will e-mail you when new resumes come in. This is a great time saver since you don't have to keep logging in to see new resumes that match your searches.  However it is important to note that you will need the Preferred Membership to actually view the resumes since they are obviously within the 21 day window and considered "fresh". Fresh resumes  are only available to premium customers (until they are over 21 days old at which time they are available to everyone).

Looking forward to another wonderful year!

The Jobvertise Team
