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.
BC employers are expected to ensure their postings comply with the Pay Transparency Act, effective November 1, 2023.
Do I need to register to post a job?
Yes. To register, please go to the main page of the Partnership Job Board and click on the “Register” link located in the upper right corner, or “Register to post jobs” located in the lower left corner. 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.
Can I use one account for both posting jobs and receiving job alerts?
Our system does not allow one email address to be used for both manager and subscriber accounts. You will need to choose:
1. a manager account – to post jobs, OR,
2. a subscriber account – to receive email job alerts.
If you are a subscriber and wish to post a job, you may login to your account and change your role from subscriber to manager. When you are done posting jobs, you can always change your status back to subscriber. Alternatively, you can create two separate accounts – using two different email addresses – one for posting and one for receiving job alerts.
Can I just send you a document with the job description and have you post it for me?
The Job Board is a self-serve posting site, so unless you are having technical issues, we do not assist with posting.
Do you have a public archive of jobs posted in the past?
The services of the Partnership Job Board do not extend to archiving or public access to past/closed postings. While your previous postings may be available for some time, we cannot guarantee permanent access.
I accidentally chose cheque as my payment method. Can I pay by credit card over the phone?
Yes, please email admin@bcla.bc.ca to arrange payment. Once your payment is processed, the Partnership Job Board will email you a receipt. Please do not send your credit card information to us via email.
Who should I make my check payable to and where should I mail the cheque?
Please make you cheque payable to British Columbia Library Association and mail it to this address:
British Columbia Library Association
Attn: The Partnership Job Board
PO BOX 19008 Rocky Point PO
Port Moody, BC V3H 0J1
Can I edit my job posting after I submit it?
Yes! Simply log in to the site, go to "Job Postings" > "My Postings", click on the title of the job you wish to edit, make your changes, and click "Update Posting". The system will send us an automated message that the job has been modified and needs to be re-approved. Once re-approved, your job will reappear on the list of active postings. If you need further assistance, please email us.You may anticipate a response within 48 hours.
Can we extend the closing date for a posting? Is there any additional charge for the extension?
A job posting is active for up to 90 days. If you wish to extend a closing date within the 90 days, there is no additional fee. Simply log in to edit your posting, change the date, and click "Update Posting". If the new date is beyond the 90 days, you will need to post your job again – with new starting and closing dates. If you do not have a specific closing date in mind, and wish to keep your posting active until the position is filled, simply leave the default closing date empty while filling out the template, and add “Open until filled” to the job description. You may close your job at anytime.
Can I just provide a link to a job posting on our organization’s website instead of copying and pasting a full job description into the template?
While we are happy to approve the job posting with only a link, we strongly recommend you include some introductory text before the link (e.g. “Midland Public Library is seeking a CEO/Chief Librarian. Please see our website for full information and for application instructions.”). Job seekers are far less likely to look at your post if it hasn't any content. Employers find the most success when they paste their job postings into the template.

I accidentally posted my job twice. Is there any way to remove the duplication posting and refund my credit card?
