Overview
A job post market is the geographic area where your job is posted.
When you create a job, your selected location determines the market your job belongs to. Understanding markets helps you choose the right locations and manage your hiring effectively.
What is a market?
A market is a defined geographic area based on your job’s location.
United States: Based on Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs)
Dense areas: May use smaller metropolitan divisions for accuracy
Canada: Based on economic regions tied to population and labor trends
💡 Helpful note: A single market can include many surrounding cities and towns.
Example: The Boston/Quincy market includes 100+ locations.

How many markets you can use
Your plan determines your market access:
Plan | Market Access |
Quickstart | 1 market only |
Essentials | 1 included + option to add 1 more ($249/month, prorated) |
Growth & Concierge | Multiple markets included (based on contract) |
💡 Helpful note (Essentials): Posting in a new market may trigger a prorated charge. If all jobs in that market are closed, billing will stop at the end of the month.
