F.A.Q. for Employers and Recruiters

The most common support issues and questions about using EstateJobs are covered here. Please read through the topics carefully for answers to your questions. If your question is not covered here or you need further support, please email clients@estatejobs.com or call us toll free at 888-900-0355. International callers dial 805-293-6200.

When creating or editing a Job, there is an option to 'Show Employer/Company Name.' Selecting NO will replace the Employer or Company name with "Confidential Employer'. This is the best way to ensure a private job listing.

The best part about EstateJobs is the targeted, niche audience. We attract service professionals who do this work full time as a career. There may be some applicants who are not qualified for your position, but they will be easy to sort out. Typically, the more specific you are with requirements and job descriptions, the higher quality the applicant responses will be. The highest volume of responses come from full time positions near major cities, but the site also allows you to find the few candidates available for remote and specialized positions!

  1. The most convenient and effective method is to receive resumes through the website. Each application will be recorded in your account and you can also provide an email so the candidates are emailed to you as they apply.
  2. If your company has an application process on its own website, you may choose this option to redirect candidates to a specific address. Be sure to test your link and include the full URL address before saving and posting. 

Absolutely! Our new system allows multiple document attachments and resume versions for Job Seekers to add on their profiles. We recommend keeping it simple with the initial application requirements (resume, cover letter, photo), then requesting additional files from candidates you choose to work with.  

There is also a great screening section at the end of the job posting form that allows you to ask specific questions and get detailed responses with each application. Many employers find this useful for pre-qualifying applicants. Again, keep it simple with yes/no questions and only short answers required. 

The simple rule is this: The more detail in the job description, the better the results will be. The most important items are the salary range, potential work schedule, specifics of the compensation package, and job functions. Leaving any of those out may turn away quality applicants.

Absolutely. Please call us directly at 888-900-0355 with any questions. We handle all client inquiries promptly. (International callers dial 805-293-6200.)
