CareerPlug does not automatically post your jobs to Craigslist. Posting your job to Craigslist on your own is a great way to attract a wide variety of applicants.
Navigate to your Jobs page and locate the job that you would like to post to Craigslist. To the right of the job, under the “Actions” heading, click the Share button.
A drawer will slide out from the right side of the screen. Click the Manual Sources heading, then click the Share button next to “Craigslist.” Select the “Copy Link with description” option. This will automatically copy what you need to post on Craigslist to your clipboard.
What you copied includes a special link to your job posting. When applicants use that link to apply, you will be able to see that they found you through Craigslist.
Go to www.craigslist.org and sign in if you have an account. Make sure to keep CareerPlug open in a separate tab so you can copy the job link and job posting later if you need to.
Confirm that you are using the correct city page for your job posting (if not, use the menu on the right to choose your city).
Choose Post to Classifieds in the upper left-hand corner (below the Craigslist logo).
Under 'what type of posting is this?' select 'job offered' (first option) and click Continue.
Choose a Job Category (each category costs a fee, and that fee differs by location) and click Continue.
Note: Some cities may ask you to "choose the area nearest you" as an added step.
Type or copy and paste the job title into the Posting Title field (Please note that there is a limit of 70 characters for this field, so you may need to shorten your job title for Craigslist).
Input in your office location (city or suburb) into the Specific Location field. You'll also need to fill in your zip code.
In the Posting Body section, you'll want to paste your job description directly from CareerPlug. If you need to, copy it again by clicking Share > Manual Sources > Share (Craigslist) > Copy link with description.
Next, select Employment Type under Posting Details as well as any compensation info.
Enter your email address into both email fields under the Contact Info section. Next to the email fields, we recommend that you choose 'No replies to this email' (candidates cannot email you) or 'CL Mail Relay' (candidates can email you, but they will not know your specific email address). You do not need to enter your phone number.
The next page will display where your job posting will appear on a map (if you selected the 'show on map' checkbox at the bottom of the previous page).
Here, you can add any relevant images to your job posting.
Craigslist will show you an unpublished draft where you can view the information you input.
Once you click Publish Job, there is one more step. You will receive an email from Craigslist with a link to enter your payment information and to truly publish your job.
