Step 1 - Explanations on
our fees
Charges and fees
|
First, we like to inform you about the
actual scope of our service and the basic fee chargeable when employers
submit job ads.
|
Reach 82,000 people worldwide
quickly
|
In exchange for the basic fee, we shall
announce your job announcement through this website for a period
of nearly 60 days. This website is serving more than 82,000
development professionals, getting 210,000 page views
per month. Secondly, we shall distribute your job ad through emails
to all of the 30,000 people belonging to our mailing list.
Plus, as a bonus, we place your job ad
in our online jobs archives for a period of 60 months, free of charge.
For our basic regular advertising service, employers are asked to
pay the usual advertising fee which is Fifteen
US dollars (US$ 15.00) per job per posting day. 
A job ad with one position that is announced
once will be billed US$15.00 only.
If an ad contains two job positions,
for example a Project Manager and an Agriculturist positions, then
we count that two ads and billed $30 (calculated as $15 x 2). We
count the number of job positions in an ad not really the number
of ads.
If a employer /customer wants the same
ad (with 2 job positions) run for 3 days spread over a 2 week period,
we charge that $90 (calculated as $15 x 2 positions x 3 days).
This is a special low-cost fee, designed
for NGOs and development agencies.
Is there a bonus? Yes there are; read
below.
First, even though the job ad is announced
in a day's issue, for example September 27, the job ad actually
stays in our website for a period of nearly 60 days, which the viewers
can all see. So, even though it is an ad for one day, your exposure
is really nearly 60-days. Second, we place your ad in our online
jobs archives for 60 months for record purposes only. Third, when
our mailing list becomes functional, we shall distribute your ad
via email to all people belonging to our mailing list - now around
30,000 people.
|
How many times should
I run my ad ?
|
As stated above, even though the job
ad is announced in a day's issue, for example September 21, the
job ad actually stays in our website for a period of nearly 60 days,
which the all viewers can all see and could open. So, even though
it is an ad for one day (15 dollars fee), your exposure is really
nearly 60-days.
But there is a little problem about this. As time goes on, the job
ad loses visibility because the viewers tend to click on the latest
job listings or issues and tend not to open or view the earlier
or older issues.
For example, viewers who come in mid-October will tend to open the
issues for October 11, 13, 15 and 17, and he will tend not to open
the issues for September. In short, as time elapses, the job ad
loses visibility, even though it is still there in the website for
them to click open and see.
To counteract this, many recruiters and employers ask us to run
the ad for 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 days and spread it over a period of
2 or 3 or 4 weeks, to maximize the visibility of the ad.
Of course, if you run it 3 times, that will cost you a bit more
(45 dollars). It depends on how much budget you have for running
the ad. Usually, it is enough to run it 5 times over a period of
3 weeks. This seems to be the best solution for many recruiters,
based on our own six year experience.
|
All job ads are reviewed for compliance
|
In accepting the job ads, we apply the
six basic conditions
or rules to ensure that all of the job ads in DEVJOBS
comply with the standard that we dearly uphold.

Big financial costs are
incurred when organizations hire internationally. Normally,
a development organization recruiting on global basis spends
thousands of
dollars to publish its job ads. It costs a lot of money and
takes a lot of time to recruit high quality people for international
jobs. There are also no guarantees that after spending tons
of money in advertising in traditional media that one will
get the necessary number of applicants.
Now we present you a cheaper
alternative....
This DEVJOBS website gets
210,000 page views a month. This is one of the most favorite
websites visited by development professionals. It is highly
FOCUSED. There are thousands of development people who reads
and examines your job ad every week and there is a big chance
that they will get interested in applying for those jobs.

very easy to post or submit job ads.

Post now, pay later scheme
|
To facilitate your ad posting, we introduced
the "post

you can submit and post your ad today simply by giving us a confirmation
to pay. Then after a few weeks, we send you the bill and at that
time you can pay us.
Six conditions regarding
posting of job ads that
employers / recruiters should know
There are 6 basic rules related
to posting job ads. Job ads are accepted by DEVJOBS if it
complies with the following basic conditions:
Condition
# 1 The job is an international position
- meaning people from various countries may apply and compete
for it. This is because DEVJOBS members are from different
countries. In case a job is for a certain nationality only,
we also accept it, but the ad itself should state it very
clearly at the top portion of the job ad.
Condition
# 2 The job must be connected with
related to microfinance, poverty alleviation, community development,
institution development, governance, health care, population,
food security, agriculture, education, human resource development,
disability rehabilitation, natural resource management, information
technology, and rural development. Job ads not meeting this
criteria are not permitted.
Condition
# 3 The job ad should be short (not
more than 2 pages) and the ad should be in plain text only,
inside the email, and not in a file attachment. Our computer-server
automatically discards all file attachments, and one reason
is to prevent virus infestation of the list. Another reason
is that it ensures inexpensive and quick delivery of emails
to thousands of members. You may also use the online
job submission form within this website to post
a job ad.
Condition
# 4 The ad should contain the name
and email address of the person who is assigned to receive
all job applications, and the deadline for accepting applications.
Also, the ad should include an email address of a person who
can be contacted if prospective applicants want to get more
information about the job.
Condition
# 5 The employer must confirm in a
written letter or separate email to DEVJOBS that it is willing
to accept charges for the services being rendered by DEVJOBS.
Currently, the fee is USD 15.00 per job item
per day of posting.
The employer must furnish us the
full name of the organization, address, phone, email address
and contact person, which are needed for billing purposes.
The employer may use our online confirmation submission form
to quickly send the needed confirmation. If the employer has
already transacted with DEVJOBS before and has provided confirmation
before, then this condition is already satisfied.
Condition
# 6 Job postings maybe refused if it does
not meet our standards. DEVJOBS has the right NOT to accept
and post information any ad which is: immoral or sexually-explicit
or highly objectionable; ads solicitations of business, chain
letters or pyramid schemes, franchises, "club membership",
distributorship or sales represen-tative agency arrangement
or other business arrangement which requires an up front or
periodic payment, pays commissions only, and recruitment of
other members, sub-distributors or sub-agents; "work-at-home"
schemes; postings from hate groups or those espousing violence.
DEVJOBS has the right to remove any ad in the website which
does not conform with the above rules and conditions. The
fee, if any was paid, is not refundable. DEVJOBS may be used
only for lawful purposes.
The Editors review all job ads,
on daily basis, examining each job ad if they comply with
these conditions. Any information given by employers to DEVJOBS
shall be considered public information and shall be displayed
on DEVJOBS website, which is accessible through the Internet,
and may be used, modified and distributed by DEVJOBS in any
manner. By giving this information, DEVJOBS and its subscribers
are considered authorized to investigate the validity of any
information given.
