What is Jobs on Ur Next Door?
Jobs is where members and communities post job openings and members apply with their Ur Next Door CV. Recruiters move each application through steps such as Shortlisted, Interviewing and Hired, and applicants follow along in My applications.
Browse openings at Jobs.
Does it cost anything to post a job or to apply?
Posting a job is free, and applying does not cost anything. A recruiter must never ask an applicant for a fee or a payment.
Is Ur Next Door the employer for the jobs posted here?
No. Ur Next Door is not the employer and takes no part in hiring decisions. It does not verify employers, job posts, applicants or what a CV says, so check an employer yourself.
How do I find jobs?
Open Jobs. Openings are listed newest first. Filter by Type, Work mode (for example Remote), Experience, Location (a city) and Min salary, then tap Apply. Tap Clear filters to see everything again.
Can I search jobs by keyword or job title?
No. The Jobs page has filters but no keyword box, and the site search does not cover jobs. Use the filters on Jobs, or open a community's Jobs section if you know who is hiring.
Why do some jobs disappear when I set a minimum salary?
The Min salary filter shows only jobs whose pay reaches your number. Jobs that do not show their pay (Not disclosed) are left out while the filter is on. Clear it to see them again.
Who can post a job?
Any signed-in member can post a job in their own name. A job can also be posted on behalf of a community, but only by that community's editors, admins or creator.
How do I post a job?
Sign in and open Post a job, also on the Jobs page and your profile. Fill in the role (the title, and the company if you like), employment type, work mode and experience level, then the description, pay, where the job is, the last day to apply and skills, and tap Post job.
It appears on Jobs and, if posted in your name, on your profile under Job openings.
Which fields are required in a job post?
A job title, a description, an employment type, a work mode and an experience level. Everything else is optional: company, number of openings (1 to 999, starting at 1), a short tagline for cards, pay, location, last day to apply, skills and a cover image.
If something is missing, the form says which, for example Please choose an employment type.
What employment types can a job have?
Full-time, Part-time, Contract, Internship or Temporary. Choose one when posting; job seekers can filter by it on the Jobs page.
What experience levels can a job have?
Entry level, Mid level, Senior level, Lead or Executive. Job seekers can filter jobs by experience level.
What do Remote, Hybrid and On-site mean on a job?
Remote means the job has no workplace to name, so the location step is hidden. Hybrid and On-site jobs can name a place, from country down to city; it is optional and can be added later.
Job seekers filter by work mode, so set it correctly.
How do I show the pay for a job?
Enter a minimum and a maximum, choose the period (Per year, Per month, Per hour or Per project) and the currency (INR, USD, EUR, GBP, AED, SGD, AUD or CAD). Leave both amounts empty and the job shows Not disclosed.
The minimum cannot be more than the maximum; if it is, you see Minimum salary cannot be greater than the maximum.
Can I name the company that is hiring?
Yes. The Company field after the job title is optional, up to 120 characters. It shows on the job page and is given to Google as the employer. If you leave it empty, a community's job names the community and a personal job names you.
How many skills can I add to a job?
Up to 15. Type a skill and press Enter or a comma; people looking for those skills find the post. With more than 15, the save is refused with a message telling you how many to remove.
What does Last day to apply do?
It is an optional date. It shows on the job page as Apply by and is given to Google as the job's closing date. To stop applications yourself at any time, close the job from its menu.
How do I post a job on behalf of my community?
In the job form, under Post as, pick the community instead of Just me (personal). The job page then shows the community under Hiring organization, and the job appears in the community's Jobs section.
Only the community's editors, admins and creator can do this.
Who can see the applicants for a community's job?
The member who posted it and the community's editors, admins and creator can open its applicants, see each applicant's CV and change their status. The Terms tell applicants this. New-application notifications go only to the member who posted it.
Can I schedule a job post to go live later?
Yes. When creating it, pick a time under When it goes live. Until then only you (and a community's editors and above) can see it, and nobody can apply.
Find it in Scheduled to publish it early, change the time, or delete it to cancel.
How do I edit a job post?
Open the job, tap the menu (three dots) at the top and choose Edit job post. Change what you need and save. You can also change Post as to move it into a community you post in, or back to your name.
How do I stop receiving applications for a job?
Open the job, tap the menu (three dots) and choose Close to applications. The job page stays up with a banner saying it is closed, the job leaves the Jobs list, and anyone who tries to apply sees This job is no longer accepting applications.
Applications you already have stay in your list.
How do I reopen a closed job?
Open the job, tap the menu (three dots) and choose Reopen to applications. It goes back on the Jobs list and people can apply again. A scheduled job cannot be closed or reopened; publish it first.
Why can't I delete my job post?
A job that already has applications cannot be deleted, so applicants keep their record; the site asks you to close it instead. Close it from the job's menu (three dots).
A job with no applications can be deleted from the same menu.
Can I ask applicants for a fee or a deposit?
No. A job that charges applicants a fee, asks them for payment or financial details, or collects their personal data for other uses breaks the Terms. Jobs like that can be reported.
What rules apply when I post a job?
Post only real openings you are allowed to recruit for, describe them accurately and follow employment and non-discrimination law. Use applicant data only to assess that application; never sell it or pass it on. Any note you attach to a status change is shown to the applicant.
How do I apply for a job?
Sign in, open the job and tap Apply now. Add a cover note if you like, choose which CV to send if you have more than one, and tap Submit application. Your CV goes to the recruiter, and the job appears in My applications.
Will a recruiter see my CV if it is set to private?
Yes. Applying shares the CV you send with that recruiter even if it is private. For a community's job, its editors and admins can see it too.
They see your CV as it is now, so later edits show to them. Withdrawing an application that is still open ends their access. After you are hired or not selected, their access continues.
What is the cover note, and how long can it be?
An optional message to the recruiter about why you fit the role, up to 2,000 characters. The recruiter sees it with your application, and it also shows in your own Applied list.
Why does it say You've already applied to this job?
You can apply to each job only once, so a second application is refused. This includes an application you withdrew or one that was not selected. Your application is in My applications, Applied tab.
Why can't I apply to my own job?
A recruiter cannot apply to a job they posted; the site says You cannot apply to your own job post. People who manage a job do not see the Apply now button on it.
Do I need an account to apply for a job?
Yes. Anyone can browse jobs, but applying, saving a job and posting one need you to be signed in. To apply, you also need a CV with some content.
Why am I following the recruiter after applying?
Applying automatically follows the recruiter, and their community if the job belongs to one, so their updates reach you. It shows on your profile, and you can unfollow at any time.
Where can I see the jobs I applied to?
Open My applications. The Applied tab lists each job with the employer, when you applied, your cover note, its current status and any note from the recruiter. The job page also says You applied to this job.
What do the application statuses mean?
Applied means it was sent; Under review, the recruiter is looking at it; Shortlisted, you are on their shortlist; Interviewing, they want to interview you. Offered means they sent you an offer; Hired, you got the job; Not selected, they decided not to go ahead; Withdrawn, you withdrew it.
Why did my application skip a step?
Recruiters can move an application to any step at any time, for example straight from Applied to Offered or to Not selected. The statuses show where you stand, not a fixed order.
Where do I see a note from the recruiter?
If the recruiter left a note on your application, it shows under that job in My applications, Applied tab. Most applications have no note.
How do I withdraw a job application?
Open My applications, Applied tab, tap Withdraw on the job and confirm. You can withdraw any time before you are hired or not selected.
Withdrawing ends the recruiter's access to your CV through that application. The record of it is kept, and you cannot apply to the same job again.
Is the recruiter told when I withdraw?
They do not get a notification. Your application simply shows as Withdrawn in their list of applicants.
Will I be told when my application status changes?
Yes. You get a notification when the recruiter marks it under review, shortlists you, invites you to interview, sends an offer, hires you, or does not select you.
Turn job notifications on or off in Settings, Preferences, in the Job applications and updates row.
How do I see who applied to my job?
Open your job and tap Applicants; the number beside it leaves out withdrawn applications. Each applicant shows their name, when they applied, a View CV link, their cover note and status; use the tabs to filter by status.
My applications, Received tab, lists applicants across all the jobs you posted, with Manage to open each job's list.
How do I shortlist, interview, hire or reject an applicant?
In the job's Applicants list, each open application has Review, Shortlist, Interview, Offer, Hire and Reject. Use them in any order. Reject asks you to confirm, and the applicant is notified of each change.
Can I change an applicant's status after hiring or rejecting them?
No. Hired, Not selected and Withdrawn are final: the buttons disappear and any change is refused with This application is already closed. Choose carefully before you hire or reject.
How do I know when someone applies to my job?
You get a notification that the person applied to your job post, which opens your applicants list. The Applicants count on the job and the Received tab in My applications update too. For a community's job, the notification goes to the member who posted it.
What does the recruiter see when I apply?
Your name and photo with a link to your profile, when you applied, a link to the CV you sent and your cover note, plus the status of your application as they change it. For a community's job, its editors, admins and creator see the same. Other members do not see your application.
Can I change my CV after I have applied?
Yes, but recruiters see your CV as it is now, not as it was when you applied, so your edits show to every recruiter you sent it to. If your CV is private, withdrawing an application that is still open stops that recruiter seeing it. Once you are hired or not selected, it cannot be withdrawn.
Can I upload a PDF resume when applying?
No. An application is your Ur Next Door CV plus an optional cover note; there is no file upload. Build your CV in My CVs and it goes with your application.
Can I get alerts for new jobs?
No. There are no alerts for new openings that match a search. Job notifications cover your own applications and the applicants to your posts. Check Jobs, which lists the newest first.
How do I save a job for later?
Tap the heart on the job page. Saved jobs are in your Favorites, Jobs tab. Tap the heart again to remove it. To share a job, use the Share button next to it.
How do I report a fake or suspicious job?
Sign in, open the job, tap the menu (three dots) next to Share and choose Report. Pick a reason, add details if you like, and tap Submit report. Our team reviews every report.
How can I spot a fake job?
Be careful with any job that asks you for a fee, a deposit, payment or bank details; that breaks Ur Next Door's rules. Also watch for a job that does not seem to exist or asks for personal data it does not need.
Ur Next Door does not verify employers, so check the employer yourself and report anything suspicious.
Do jobs posted here show on Google?
Public job posts may be shown in job search on other sites, such as Google's, with their full description and the company if named. A closed job stays on Ur Next Door but is no longer offered to search engines as an open job.
Whether a particular job appears depends on Google and on Ur Next Door's search rules; see SEO & GEO.
Who can see my job post?
A job in your name or in a public community is public: anyone can see it on Jobs and on its own page. A job in an ask-to-join or private community is seen only by that community's members.
Where do my job posts show on my profile?
Jobs you post in your own name show on your profile under Job openings. Jobs posted on behalf of a community show in that community's Jobs section instead.
Does Ur Next Door recommend jobs or match me to jobs?
Not yet. There is no job matching that compares your CV with openings, and no job recommendations. Find jobs on Jobs with its filters.
Can I show on my profile that I am looking for a job or hiring?
Not yet. A looking for a job or hiring indicator on profiles is not available. Keep your CV up to date, and post openings on Jobs.
Does Ur Next Door schedule interviews?
No. Interviewing is a status that tells the applicant the recruiter wants to interview them. Ur Next Door has no interview calendar, so agree the time and format with the recruiter.
