What are benefits for employers?

DEVJOBS creates real benefits to employers. The main benefit to employers is that they get quick, easy and wide advertising in the Internet of their needs for workers, for a very small fee. The fees we required is affordable too.

Usually, employers pay thousands of dollars to post job announcements in global newspapers. It cost a lot of money and takes a lot of time to recriuit internationally.

But with DEVJOBS, an employer can reach out to thousands of development professionals at a small fraction of the costs usually involved. Another advantage is the ease of use . An employer can quickly reach out to more than 82,000 people in one click.

Employers may post ads anytime, from anywhere. Many large and well-known NGOs and international consulting firms have become customers and regular users of DEVJOBS. (We have more than 400 customers around the world.) They attest that they are able to reach a wide audience of people in the development field, across the world. And best of all, it cost almost nothing.

How many people can an employer reach?

DEVJOBS has a large readership or audience. Employers can reach a global audience of more than 82,000 development professionals. Our circulation (including membership and web viewership) is increasing rapidly.

Latest statistics Based on latest data provided by Webalyzer (a professional website tracking program), this DEVJOBS website is being visited by 52,000 people each month. The number of members in the DEVJOBS mailing list is 30,000 people , hence total circulation is more than 82,000. Also, our website gets 210,000 pageviews per month. These figures are as of October-15-2006.

How much does it cost to advertise?

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 a 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.

What else are included?

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 shall distribute your ad via email to all people belonging to our online mailing list - now with 30,000 people (as of October-15-2006).

Third, we place your ad in our online jobs archives for 60 months for record and verification purposes only.

Only employers will be charged. Remember that for job seekers and members, there is no fee whatsoever.

Why are fees required?

DEVJOBS started as volunteer service in 1999 but it can not be sustained through volunteer efforts only. Then, we introduced fee payments for job advertisements, to make DEVJOBS a viable and sustainable service. We have to pay the staff, electric bills, Internet bills and many other various expenses to keep it running. We receive no subsidiy from any one or any organizations, hence we need some revenues to keep up this service.

What are the rules for posting ads?

There are a six basic conditions that we ask employers to follow. 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. If the job is for a certain nationality only, we may accept it but 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, natural resource management, information technology, and rural development.

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.

Condition # 4. The ad should contain the email address of the person supposed to receive the 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 info about the job.
