CareerBuilder Assignment/Position Publishing allows you to broadcast an assignment/position to the Web using CareerBuilder. Once published, the assignment/position can be searched on by any candidate or employee that logs into the CareerBuilder web site.

Publishing an Assignment/Position

NOTE: The screen shot below shows the CareerBuilder Assignment Publishing window. The Position Publishing window is identical except that the Min Pay Rate field shows Min Salary and the Max Pay Rate field displays Max Salary..

1. In the Publish From and Publish To fields, type in or use the controls to select the day that the assignment/position should start showing up (Publish From) and the date that it should stop showing up (Publish To) in CareerBuilder. These dates are inclusive. Keep in mind that CareerBuilder typically runs on a 30 day cycle, so while you may schedule an assignment/position to be published for multiple months, you may incur an extra charge from CareerBuilder. For more information on using StaffSuite's calendar, click here. These fields are REQUIRED. NOTE: Once you initially publish the assignment/position to CareerBuilder, the Publish From date cannot be edited. However, you can edit the Publish To date. Finally, once the Publish To date passes, the status of the publishing will change to Expired.

2. The Publish Status field is read-only and displays the current status of the publishing. Possible statuses are:

3. Not Published: The assignment has never had a Publish CareerBuilder activity completed on it.

4. Published: User has selected to publish the assignment to CareerBuilder (by clicking the Publish button on the CareerBuilder Assignment Publishing window) and the Publish From date is not in the future. If you update a Published assignment, the status remains "Published". You can publish an assignment that currently has a status of "Not Published", "Failed" or "Expired".

5. Submitted: User has selected to publish the assignment to CareerBuilder (by clicking the Publish button on the CareerBuilder Assignment Publishing window) but the Publish From date is in the future. When the From Date arrives, the status will change to "Published".

6. Removed: User has selected to remove the published or failed assignment  (by clicking the Remove button on the CareerBuilder Assignment Publishing window).

7. Failed: The attempt to publish has failed. If this occurs you can access the CareerBuilder Assignment Publishing window to see the reason for the failure.

8. Expired: The publishing period has expired (the Publish To date on the CareerBuilder Assignment Publishing window has passed).You can select to publish again, but may be charged by CareerBuilder as if it were a brand new posting (StaffSuite will warn you that this may be the case).

3. In the Job Title field, type the job title as it will be published to CareerBuilder. If a Job Title has already been added to the Assignment, then the Job Title from the Assignment will default (but can be changed). This field is REQUIRED.

4. In the Industry field, use the list icon to select one or more Industries associated with the assignment/position. This field is REQUIRED.

5. In the Description field, type in a description of the assignment/position as you want it to appear in CareerBuilder. This field is REQUIRED. Click the  icon to open a window allowing you to add formatting to the description. Click here for more information about the formatting window.

12. In the Job Skin and Template fields, use the drop-list to select a skin or template to impact the formatting of your job posting in Career Builder. These fields are options and if not selected, will cause CareerBuilder to use its standard skin and template.
