Posting a Job at Outdoor Ed

We've Made Some Changes!

We want the job posting process to be as simple as possible so we've completely changed our procing structure. One price, once a year for unlimited job postings. No body does it better.

1. Setting Up a Company Profile

Before posting any Job you need to have a Company Profile. This is the basic information about your organization. Your Company Profile will have a unique Company ID. All of your jobs are posted under that Company ID. This allows us to bring up detailed information about your company in each job posting (address, phone, Web site, etc.) without you having to enter it for each job posting. It also keeps all of your jobs connected to your Company Profile so you can log in and view/edit all of your job postings. If you already have a Company Profile you can go ahead and post jobs. If not, you will need to go through the Outdoor Ed Store first to purchase a Company Profile and then go to the Create a Company Profile page to add all the detailed information about your organization.

If you purchase a Company Profile at the Store when you Check Out of the Store you'll end up at the Order Confirmation page. At the bottom of that page is a Login & Post button which will automatically take you to the Login page to create a new Company Profile. You'll also get an email confirmation of your order with the same Login & Post button to take you to the Create a Company Profile Login page. If you lose the email you can Login to the Outdoor Ed Store with your Store Username and Password and review all of your previous orders which will give you access to the Login & Post button. You will create your Company Profile details and set up a Company Profile Username and Password to be able to Login to edit your Company Profile and to post/edit any jobs or trainings linked to your Company ID. You can see the full details of this process with screen Fulfilling your Company Profile Order.

2. Posting a New Job

Once you have an active Company Profile, to post a new job log in to your Company Control Panel using your Company Profile Username and Password. That's it. You'll see the links to Post a New Job. You get unlimited free job postings for a year with your paid annual Company Profile.

Job postings are for 60 days and postings reactivated ay any time for a full year. You can see the full details of this process with screen shots at Fulfilling your Job Posting Order.

3. Renewing an Expired Job

If you have a job you post often you can keep it on our system for up to a year so you can reactivate it. If the job posting is past the 60 day posting period, you can renew it at any time during the year that your Company Profile is active. Just log in to your Company Control Panel using your Company Profile Username and Password. That's it. You'll see the links to Review Expired Jobs. You can see the full details of this process with screen shots at Fulfilling your Job Posting Order.

4. Editing an Active Job

If you job posting is still within the 60 day active period you can go in anytime and edit it including 'turning it off' so it no longer displays on the site. This is useful when you've filled the position and no longer want to advertise it. Just log in to your Company Control Panel using your Company Profile Username and Password. That's it. You'll see the links to Review Active Jobs. You click on the Active Jobs tab and you'll see a list of your currently active job postings. Click on the Job Title to go into the Edit page to make changes in the posting. You can see the full details of this process with screen shots at Fulfilling your Job Posting Order.
