Frequently Asked Questions
For Employers
Getting started with the new Partnership Job Board
We’re pleased to tell you that we’ve migrated the Partnership Job Board to a new software platform.
- If you had an active job posting on January 8th, 2025, your account was migrated to the new site. Please log in using your current email and request a password reset using the Forgot Password button. Finish setting up your account and begin exploring the new platform!
- Otherwise, please create a new account.
- If you have any questions about a past posting, please contact us.
In choosing this platform we looked for the features employers have identified as important:
- Employer Dashboard — manage your postings and your account from a modern dashboard.
- Logo — option to add your logo to your postings to increase the visibility of your organization.
- Improved User Experience — once your posting has been approved, you may edit the content without it going back into the approval queue.
- Improved Submission Form — required fields ensure important details (e.g. how to apply!) are captured while also improving the findability of your posting.
You’ll notice a few changes:
- there are additional fields to fill out when posting a job; these are tied to the improved search and filter tools. Job seekers now have increased options for searching/filtering by job category, job type, preferred education, location and more, increasing the findability of your posting.
- there are 3 pricing options: 0-30 days, 31-60 days, and 61-90 days. Your price is automatically calculated by the system based on the length of your job posting.
Thank you and we hope to see your new job posting soon!
The Partnership Job Board
Do I have to post compensation?
Yes. As of March 14, 2022, The Partnership Job Board requires either a specific salary or salary range be provided for all job postings. Read more about why.
Please note, jobs submitted to the Partnership Job Board without a salary amount or range in the required compensation field, will not be approved for posting until the salary amount or range has been added. Any delay in posting a job, including not posting it at all, due to a failure to include a salary amount or range in the required compensation field, will not qualify for a refund.
Do I need to register to post a job?
Yes. To register, please go to the main page of the Partnership Job Board:
- Select the Log In / Register button in the upper right corner
- From Register As, choose Employer
There is no cost to register.
How long before my job is posted?
Your job posting will be posted and available for viewing within 48 hours. Please expect delays for jobs submitted on weekends or national or BC statutory holidays.
Please note, jobs submitted to the Partnership Job Board without a salary amount or range in the required compensation field, will not be approved for posting until the salary amount or range has been added. Any delay in posting a job, including not posting it at all, due to a failure to include a salary amount or range in the required compensation field, will not qualify for a refund.
How do I know that my job is posted?
You will know your job was submitted successfully when you receive an automated message from the email account Partnership Job Board (Do Not Reply) with the subject line: “Your job posting has been submitted.”
Once your submission is approved (typically within 48 hours), you will receive a second message with the subject line: “Your job posting has been approved.”
Can I use one account to post jobs and to receive email alerts about postings for my library?
Yes. As an Employer, your account includes both an Employer Dashboard and a Job Seeker Dashboard.
The Employer Dashboard is where you’ll post jobs and manage your account.
The Job Seeker Dashboard is where you can set up Email Alerts, for postings from your library or any others you may be interested in monitoring. Please note, you must subscribe to email alerts in order to receive notice of posted job(s).
How do I set up My Email Alerts?
From the Job Seeker Dashboard
- Go to My Email Alerts and select Add New Alert
- Select your desired Frequency (Daily or Weekly)
- Select Add Search Parameter (you may select as many as you wish)
- Select OK and Save Changes
You will receive an email (based on the Frequency selected) alerting you to any new jobs that match the parameters selected.
Please note Alerts are deleted after one year.
Why am I required to fill in additional fields (e.g. Job Type, Library Type, Preferred Education) about my job posting?
Many of the required fields (e.g. Job Type, Library Type, Preferred Education, etc.) correspond to the search/filter parameters of the system. By including this information, you increase the findability of your posting and the likelihood of attracting potential candidates.
Can I send you a document with the job description and have you post it for me?
The Job Board is a self-serve posting site; we do not assist with posting.
Can I provide a link to a job posting on our organization’s website instead of copying and pasting a full job description into the Description field?
Yes, you may provide a link in the required Description field of your job posting. We strongly recommend, however, that you include a more complete job description. Not only are Job Seekers far less likely to look at your post if it hasn’t any content, but you also reduce the opportunity for your posting to be found with keyword searches. Employers find the most success when they provide a more detailed job description.
Pricing and Payment and Refunds
Please see Pricing.
Can I edit my job posting after I submit it?
Yes. You may edit the content of your job posting by logging into your Employer Dashboard:
- Go to Manage Postings > Postings
- Select the posting you wish to edit
- Select Edit and make any changes
- Select Update
Can I edit the Close Date for a posting?
Yes, the Close Date can be changed at any time, as many times as you like, as long as it remains within the active period.
Is there a charge to extend the Close Date?
There is no charge to extend the Close Date if it remains within the active period purchased.
If you need your posting to be visible for more than the number of days purchased originally (e.g. 30 days, 60 days or 90 days), you will need to purchase a new posting.
Do you have a public archive of jobs posted in the past?
No, at this time the Partnership Job Board does not provide public access to previous job postings.

For Job Seekers
Getting started with the new Partnership Job Board
We’re pleased to tell you that we’ve migrated the Partnership Job Board to a new software platform.
In choosing this platform we looked for the features job seekers had identified as important:
- increased search and filtering options
- ability to bookmark jobs
- a Job Seeker dashboard to manage your email alerts and bookmarks
- customizable email alerts based on specific criteria
- the option to receive alerts daily or weekly
The Partnership Job Board remains free to use for Job Seekers.
Create your new account to start bookmarking jobs and setting up email alerts!
Do I need to register to receive email alerts about new job postings?
Yes. To register, please go to the main page of the Partnership Job Board:
- Select the Log In / Register button located in the upper right corner
- Go to Register As and choose Job Seeker
There is no cost to register.
How do I set up My Email Alerts?
From the Job Seeker Dashboard
- Go to My Email Alerts and select Add New Alert
- Select your desired Frequency (Daily or Weekly)
- Select Add Search Parameter (you may select as many as you wish)
- Select OK and Save Changes
You will receive an email (based on the Frequency selected) alerting you to any new jobs that match the parameters selected.
Please note Alerts are deleted after one year.
Can I use one account to receive email alerts about postings for my library and to post jobs?
If you have registered as an Employer, your account automatically includes both an Employer Dashboard and a Job Seeker Dashboard.
If you have registered as a Job Seeker, you will only see the Job Seeker Dashboard. Should you wish to also register as an Employer, you may do so by using a different email. If your Job Seeker account is associated with the email you wish to use for your Employer account, please contact us.
How do Bookmarks work?
When logged into your Partnership Job Board account, you have the option to Bookmark any job posting. You may view the jobs you have bookmarked from your Job Seeker Dashboard > My Bookmarks. This is a great way to create a temporary list of jobs you wish to apply for.
- You can access a bookmarked job for as long as the job posting is Active. When a posting expires, the bookmark will disappear from My Bookmarks.
- When an Employer closes a job, or marks it as filled, it will no longer be visible from the Partnership Job Board. The link, however, will remain in My Bookmarks until the job posting expires. In this instance, when you click on the posting from your dashboard, you will get a message indicating the page is no longer available.
It’s a good practice to save a copy of any job you have applied for in your own files. This is especially useful for interview preparation! Please note, at this time the Partnership Job Board does not provide public access to past job postings.
How to Unsubscribe from The Partnership Job Board:
To unsubscribe from a specific email alert:
- Log in to your Job Seeker Dashboard
- Under Manage Postings select My Email Alerts > Remove
You may also delete a specific email alert directly via the link included in the email.
If you wish to delete your Job Seeker Account:
- Log in to your Job Seeker Dashboard
- Under Account select Delete Account
Do you have a public archive of jobs posted in the past?
No, at this time the Partnership Job Board does not provide public access to previous job postings.
