We employ a variety of strategies to drive traffic to HigherEdJobs.com. We use a number of services to make sure HigherEdJobs.com remains one of the top listings on popular search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, and many others. We also advertise in a number of publications targeted to the higher education community. Within our website, we utilize tools such as "Email a Friend" and "Job Agents" to keep visitors coming back, as well as attract new visitors. Each month, over 500,000 Job Agent emails are sent to candidates letting them know about new job postings that match their search criteria.
Currently, 1,650 colleges and universities have positions listed on HigherEdJobs.com. These institutions include large state schools, community and technical colleges, elite private institutions, liberal arts colleges, and more.

Feel free to contact us at 814-861-3080 or sales@HigherEdJobs.com to inquire whether your institution currently has a posting account. You can also contact your central Human Resources Office, Provost's Office, or whichever office is responsible for advertising positions in your department.
Go to our Employer Section. If your institution has a posting account, you can log in there. If not, you can post a job using our Single Posting Form. If we can be of assistance, contact us at 814-861-3080 or sales@HigherEdJobs.com.
We strongly recommend you list only ONE job per posting. For best results, each job posting needs to be listed in the correct category with a job title, application instructions, and job description specific to that job. It is virtually impossible to do that if you try to list more than one job per posting. For more detailed information, see why multiple listing ads do not work online.
Positions posted through our Unlimited Posting Subscription will appear on the site instantaneously. Jobs posted through our Single Posting form will appear on the site within 1-2 business hours. Our regular business hours are Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm EST.

Yes. To post a confidential or blind ad, use "Confidential" for the institution's name. To ensure confidentiality, do not list the institution's name in the job description, application instructions, or affirmative action statement. If you accept applications via email, consider using an email account that doesn't reveal the name of the employer. For more tips on posting a blind ad, contact us at 814-861-3080 or sales@HigherEdJobs.com.
