Always aim to be accurate, clear and inclusive in your job postings in order to reach the best possible candidates.

Discrimination: job postings must be inclusive and free from discrimination based on protected characteristics such as age, native language, gender or ethnic origin. Requirements must be based on qualifications genuinely necessary for the role.

Offensive content: job postings must not include insults or offensive images, discriminatory, harassing or threatening content, or sexually suggestive language.

Promotion of illegal content: job postings must not promote illegal activities (drugs, gambling, etc.) and must relate to legitimate positions that encourage ethical behaviour.

Purpose unrelated to hiring: job postings must correspond to genuine job openings. They must not be used to promote a company or solicit funding.

Multi-level marketing: postings relating to pyramid schemes or requiring an upfront payment are prohibited.

External links: job postings must not include links that redirect candidates outside of the JOIN posting.

Excessive geographic targeting: postings must only target people looking for a job in the specific geographic area where the role is based.

Excessive reposting: the Job must only be published once and must not be reposted excessively over a short period.

Unpaid opportunities: any unpaid opportunity (internships, training, volunteering) must be explicitly stated in the posting.

Freelance / commission-only jobs: present a transparent compensation structure and clearly describe the expected duties and responsibilities.

Keyword stuffing: JOIN does not accept postings filled with excessive keywords intended to manipulate search result rankings. Use relevant keywords sparingly.

Fraudulent requirements: postings must not include fraudulent or misleading requirements or requests that are not essential to the role.

Unauthorised companies: your company must only publish job openings if it is legitimate and authorised to do so.

Impersonation: postings must display accurate information about the person or entity hiring, with no misleading or false information.

Unnecessary personal information: postings must not require sensitive information (social security number, bank details) at the application stage.

Fees related to job opportunities: postings must not require candidates to pay fees or purchase products in order to apply.

Accuracy and clarity: postings must describe the job opening, requirements and responsibilities accurately and clearly, without clickbait or misleading tactics.

Job title: use clear, descriptive, concise titles, without salaries, contract types, location or punctuation. Avoid vague or misleading titles.

Unsolicited applications: job postings must relate to a specific job opening. Postings intended for unsolicited applications are not permitted.

Company name: use the company's real name. Avoid generic or confidential names.

Recruitment agencies: if you are recruiting for other companies, explicitly state that you are not the direct employer.

General recruitment: a job posting must represent only one vacant position. Create a separate posting for each role.

All job postings must comply with JOIN's regulations and policies, the regulations of the Job boards used to publish the Job, and local labour laws and regulations.

No. Avoid any discriminatory criteria; focus on qualifications related to the role.

No. Do not include links that redirect candidates outside of the posting.
