2. Why are fees required?
|
DEVJOBS started as volunteer service
in 1999 but it can not be sustained through volunteer efforts only.
Beginning February 2001, we introduced fee payments for job advertisements,
to make DEVJOBS a viable and sustainable service. We have to pay
our staff, electric bills, postage, Internet bills, programmer,
computer maintenance, office costs, and all sort of operating expenses
to keep this service going.
The fee is currently set at USD 15
for every job position per day of posting. (See notice on price
increase on the left-side panel here.)
|
DEVJOBS is able to achieve high exposure through effective
use of emails and website. We reach an audience of More than
82,000 development professionals .
|
|
|
3. How frequent is the bill
sent to us?
|
|
Normally, DEVJOBS sends out the bills once a month. Usually,
the bills are sent via email. For larger customers
(i.e those whose bill is larger than US$100.00), DEVJOBS sends
a hard copy also of the bill by postal mail. Customers may
request hard copy of the bill, if they do so require, at anytime,
by sending an email to the DEVJOBS
Office. 
A bill sent by postal mail usually takes 8 to 10 days before
it arrives.
|
|
|
|
4. Is there an online file
of bills?
|
Currently, all bills to customers and
employers are off line. There were suggestions to make the
bills online but we rejected that idea because that will expose
risks that the information will fall into wrong hands.

pay your bills now.

|
|
Employers need not pay in advance
before posting their job ads. The bill will be sent to employers
after 4 to 6 weeks. As stated above, we ask employers to send
us a written confirmation (via our online system) message
before posting job ads. We reserve the option to ask for an
email or fax confirmation saying that employer agrees to accept
charges, and accepts our basic conditions. We also need to
have the full name of the organization, office address, telephone
number, fax, contact person and email address. This will be
useful for billing purposes. 
We send the bill each month, most
of them through email. For larger bills (USD 100.00
and higher), if the customer so requests, we also mail a hard
copy of the bill.
DEVJOBS accepts checks denominated
in US dollars as payment, usually in the form of checks drawn
against US or international banks. The check should be made
out to "DEVJOBS Information Service"
|
Important: Always indicate the correct
account number. It is important to write in the check or in
the letter accompanying the check the correct DEVJOBS Account
Number so that proper crediting is facilitated. Click

bank wire transfers?

|
There are a six basic conditions
that we ask employers to follow. Job ads are accepted by DEVJOBS

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. If the job

the job ad must specify that at the top portion of the ad
text.
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,

rural development. Job ads not meeting these 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 is
to ensure 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 email address of the person supposed
to receive the applications, and the deadline for accepting

emplyer must send DEVJOBS an email or letter or fax stating
that the organization (employer) is willing to accept charges.
The employer must also furnish 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
form to submit this required confirmation.

17. Should I expect a large
number of job applicants?
|
DEVJOBS offers no guarantee that there
will be large or sufficient number of job applications for the ads
it posts. The members are free whether they want to apply for the
posted jobs. In most cases, job ads attract many job applications,
but in some few cases, the application turnout is small. This is
to be expected in a free labor market.

Whenever requested by customers, we
allow some discounts for volume postings. For example, if your bill
reached or exceeded USD 100 in any given month, we can give you

if specifically requested by the customer. It is not automatically
given eaach month.
For organizations with large numbers
of postings per month, we can offer more attractive volume discounts,
on a case by case basis. Write to
Carlos Ani
regarding this special pricing arrangements.
