I know that many of you probably find the “Local recruitment” tag that we use kind of annoying, but we really do that to save everyone time. If we didn’t put that, like most all jobs websites, you’d be clicking on jobs that you wouldn’t be able to apply for. Or one that you might apply for not knowing you couldn’t. Not all organizations put this information, which is annoying unto itself (for us too!), but we do our best we can with the imperfect system we have.
We also do this to help prevent organizations from getting lots of applications from people who are not able to work where jobs are. Again, a time saver. This helps JWJ from annoying organizations, which is really important to keep the jobs flowing 😊
If you're an organization that posts a job now, you will have the option to tick a box that automatically puts up that tag. That saves us time, and you too. And then we also have put in the function if you click to apply on a job that has that tag, it will be flagged as a local recruitment. You just have to click through that to apply for the job. This will only happen for the new jobs posted from today onwards, so older jobs won’t have this yet.
We do have bigger plans to help with all of this, so please be patient. Hank and I still do this entirely in our free time, with Joshua’s invaluable help of uploading the jobs.
I’m traveling later this week for 10 days for my actual paid job, so things may slow down a bit, but we’ll keep ‘em coming best we can.
