How long does a Symplicity Recruit job posting run?
Symplicity Recruit postings are designed to last 30 days. Some schools like to review postings before making them available to their students. We account for this by extending your job to 37 days.
Extend Postings
If you want to extend your job posting while it is active on Symplicity Recruit, we have the option to keep the job active for 15 days. The feature can be purchased as the job is posted, or any time prior to expiration. With the extension, the maximum posting duration is 45 days (52 days accounting for the 7 days grace period for school review of the posting). To extend your job posting, click on Jobs from the top navigation and then on Jobs List. Click on the job from the Jobs List and then click on the Extend button.
Withdraw Postings
If you want to close a job, you can do so any time from the Jobs List under Jobs by clicking on the Withdraw link under the job.
Is it possible to edit the Job Posting Deadline?
Multi-school job postings expire 30 days after posted (in effect 37 days if considering the school review period) unless an extension is purchased. Recruiters can “withdraw” a position if they want to close the position immediately.
How can I distribute my job posting to my connected schools?
When you initiate a job posting and fill out your job details, you will advance to the next step allowing you to target candidates from particular schools of interest. At this time you will be presented with the option to target candidates at connected schools at the top of the page. Once selected, we will give you the opportunity to review and make adjustments if required; otherwise, you job will be targeted to all of your connected schools.
How can I add additional schools to my posting?
Unfortunately, you are not able to add more target schools after you post your job. You may, however, easily re-post the position to add schools.
To re-post your job,
- Click the Post a Job button from your home page.
- On the job posting page, open the dropdown menu under Copy an Existing Job; and select the job you would like to re-post. If the job has expired, clicking the “Show Archived” button below the “Copy an Existing Job” dropdown will bring it up.
- All information for the copied job, including the original target schools, is pre-populated to make it easy. Review the information and make any necessary edits to add or remove your desired schools, and post your job.
The school I want is not on the list. How can I post to it?

May I view my posting at the school’s website, to ensure it has been properly received and is visible to students?
The convenience of a multi-school ensures that you do not need to log in at each school to view your posting and/or applicants. During the posting process, you are able to preview how the job will appear to students. When you post your job, it is automatically distributed to your target schools.
If a target school chooses not to post your position, you will receive an email notification indicating that the school has rejected your posting. If a target school has rejected your posting, you will also see this information listed in the Schools block on the right of the Job Details page when you log into your Symplicity Recruit account.

What is the difference between posting a multi-school posting from Symplicity Recruit vs. a school’s site?
The advantage of posting through Symplicity Recruit is that you post once and we send the job to your target schools. We also collect applicants from all schools targeted with your job in one place extending your reach and saving you time.
The centralized Symplicity Recruit portal does charge a modest distribution fee (for a full description of rates, please visit our job post pricing ).
Why can only certain students at some universities see my posting?
There may be two reasons for this:
- Some universities are served by one centralized career services office while others have a decentralized approach where students enrolled at the university are served by separate, college-specific career services offices. Furthermore, at certain decentralized universities, some career offices may not utilize Symplicity, and their respective students may not have access to your job posting.
- Regardless of whether a university has a centralized or decentralized career services approach, Symplicity allows career services offices to control which students access which jobs. In order for a student to be eligible to view particular jobs, career services business rules may require that the student be in a specific class or degree level, have their resume reviewed and approved by career office staff, or participate in a career services workshop. Therefore, your posting is only visible to students that have met the career office’s baseline requirements to access jobs.
One of the schools where I posted no longer lists the same Industries as my original posting. How did this change?
Symplicity Recruit Network schools often convert standard Symplicity Recruit fields, such as Industry, to labels that are specific to their student population. This increases the opportunity for students, at the schools where you have posted, to see your job when searching based on specific fields such as Industry, Job Function, and more.
Why did a school reject my job?
Each school may choose to accept or reject a new job posting. We will send you an email regarding schools rejecting your job posting. Upon receiving the email, you may contact the specific school for an explanation.
To find the contact information for the schools you would like to contact, select Schools from the top navigation and then click on All Schools from the Schools navigation bar. Search for the school and once you find it, click the school name to view the school's profile. From the school's profile, all contact information for the school is available on the right.
What is a courtesy job credit and how do I use one?
If you post a job to Symplicity Recruit targeting 5 or more schools and at least 1 school rejects your posting, you will be issued a courtesy job credit eight days after posting your job. This courtesy job credit can be viewed by clicking on the coins icon from the navigation in upper right corner.
The courtesy job credit allows you to re-target your original posting or post a new job up to 30 days after it is issued.To use a job courtesy credit, post your job to Symplicity Recruit and from the Checkout screen, apply the credit using the dropdown next to the job posting.
