How long does it take for applicants to apply when I post my job?

When you post a job on Get on Board, different factors impact how fast applicants arrive, such as seniority, whether the salary is visible, and the clarity of the job description. We recommend waiting a couple of days after posting before evaluating results. If applicants are not reaching your job, these tips can help:

• Refresh the job date. By refreshing the date, your job shows up with the current date and appears higher in search results.
• Activate Boost. When you activate Boost, invitations are sent to professionals who match your profile and your job appears as a featured ad for 14 days.
• Show the salary. Job ads with visible salaries tend to perform better, even if applicants see the range later in the flow.
• Open yourself to remote work. The best talent for your company may not be in your own city or country.
• Review the seniority. Senior and expert roles usually take longer than junior or semi-senior roles.
• Ask for feedback on your ad. Creating a good job posting is not easy, so ask peers if the ad is clear and compelling.

If after a week there are no applicants, review why your job may have few applicants.
