Overview
When creating a job posting in Wizehire, you may encounter situations where the desired job title or category is not listed in the dropdown menu. This guide explains how to use the "Custom Job" option to proceed and ensure your job ad is accurately categorized.
Using the "Custom Job" Option
If you cannot find the exact job title or category in the dropdown menu during the job creation process, follow these steps:
Start with "Custom Job"
Edit the Job Title
Submit Your Ad
Avoiding Duplicate Warnings
If you receive a duplicate warning due to a similar job title, check the following:
Make sure the job title and location are different enough from any other active or recently closed posting for the same role. Job boards can flag postings within about 35 miles of each other if they share the same title or benchmark.
Write the job description fresh rather than copying or lightly editing another posting. Job boards look for meaningfully different content, not just a different title.
Keep only one active posting per open role instead of running multiple versions of the same job at once.
If you're reposting a closed job, rewrite the title and content rather than reusing the original. Reposting the same content right after closing a job is more likely to trigger a flag.
Tips for Success
Flexible titles. The "Custom Job" option lets you create a posting for any job title, even if it isn't listed in the dropdown menu.
Coach review. Wizehire coaches review your submission and assign it to the correct category so it reaches the right audience.
Unique content. Keep your job posting content original to avoid confusion or duplication during review.
By following these steps, you can successfully create job postings for any position, even when the desired title or category is not immediately available in Wizehire.
