Frequently Asked Questions
 

What is the cost for posting a job?

Edpost is a free service provided by St. Cloud State University to support our students and educational partners.

 

How long is the position posted?

The postings on EdPost will stay active for 7 days. Do not repost a position within this active period. 
 

How often can I post a position?

Each position should only be posted once every 7 days. Employers who post duplicate positions may be flagged to have every submission reviewed by an administrator, resulting in posting delays. 

 

I'm not receiving a confirmation e-mail like it states I would. Why?

First Time Poster: Confirmation posts are automatically triggered if you are already in the EdPost system. However, if you are a first-time user or submitting from a new email address, you will not receive an email confirmation. Please check the EdPost site for confirmation that your post is active within one week. 

Established Poster: The reason may be that your e-mail server sees the confirmations as spam because they are sent out automatically. You may want to check your spam or junk mail folder in your e-mail.

 

I am from a recruiting agency. Are there special requirements for me to post a job?

Yes! There are two criteria for 3rd party posting

  1. There may not be a fee to the applicant before, during or after the application process.
  2. You must clearly state in the job posting that you are a 3rd party recruiter and there is no fee to the applicants.

 

The job I want to post is not educational in nature. Where can I post it?

You may post the jobs through Handshake. This site is available to SCSU students and alumni, but you can request access to other institutions as well as contact other universities and colleges directly to inquire about advertising to their students and alumni.

 

How long does it take for the position to get posted after I send the e-mail?

First Time Poster: Your submission will be manually reviewed and verified before the posting will appear on the website. Please allow up to one week for your position to post.

Established Poster: Your submission will be visible within moments of submission.
 

I have several openings. Can I send them all in on email?

We suggest that if you have multiple positions with the same title, you only post once for those positions (ex: Elementary Teachers, 1st grade - MN city schools). However, we do not recommend that you include positions with different titles in one posting. Potential candidates may not be able to find positions that interest them if the subject/title doesn’t match the position.

 

When I looked at my posting, I noticed my automatic signature is included. Why?

Because anything that is in the body of the e-mail stays on the posting. Please remove your signature before sending your next submission.

 

I am looking for a nanny. Where can I post this position?

Postings from private households/individuals are not accepted. This is a precaution for the safety of all involved. An alternative site to consider to promote hiring needs is www.care.com as their site includes a wide variety of in-home job postings.
