Refine your job postings beyond the initial creation phase to keep them relevant and attractive to job seekers.
Smart Suggestions help you optimize your job postings after creation by providing relevant, lifecycle-based suggestions. Designed to give you tailored recommendations, Smart Suggestions can help make your job postings as attractive as possible to job seekers and guide you to follow best practices. Smart Suggestions can be found in two areas of your account: when editing a job posting and, now, on your Jobs page.
What do we suggest?
Built from job board best practices and data-driven insights, Smart Suggestions will recommend improvements to your jobs that align with our effective job posting criteria, like including the salary, desired experience, and benefits with any job posting. Smart Suggestions highlighted on your Jobs page are some of the same Suggestions you'll see when creating and editing your jobs.
Did you know job descriptions with fewer than 4,000 characters receive 30% more applicants?
When do Smart Suggestions show up?
Our Smart Suggestions are tailored to the 90-day lifecycle of your job. As your job posting ages or you make changes to it, we'll update our Smart Suggestions to help you stimulate applicant interest. This means Smart Suggestions in the first two weeks can be different from the next two weeks. When there's more than one Smart Suggestion, you can scroll through them using the arrow on the right edge of the highlight box.

When your job posting approaches the end of its 90-day lifecycle, we'll ask, "Are you still hiring?" You'll then be prompted to either Close the Job posting if you've made your hire or keep it open.
We'll also acknowledge when your job post follows all of our given Smart Suggestions and let you know we don't have any more for the moment. If you have no Smart Suggestions but would like tips on optimizing your job postings, schedule some time with a CareerPlug Consultant!
