Overview

Sponsoring a job post gives it more visibility on job boards like Indeed and ZipRecruiter. Sponsored posts typically appear higher in search results, helping you attract more candidates — especially for competitive roles.


How to sponsor your post

You can sponsor from either your main dashboard or directly from the job dashboard.

From the Main Dashboard:

  • Log in to Wizehire where you'll begin on your main dashboard.

  • Choose the menu next to the job you wish to sponsor.

  • Click Increase Candidates.

From the Job Dashboard:

  • Open the job dashboard you’d like to promote.

  • Select Sponsor Job from the available options.

Choose a tier and start

  • Select the sponsorship tier you want.

  • Click Pay Now to cover the initial prorated fee for the rest of your current billing cycle.

  • Wizehire will handle distribution and optimization across job boards.


Billing & renewals

  • Sponsorship begins immediately after you click Pay Now and is prorated for the remainder of your current billing cycle.

  • Sponsorship automatically renews at the end of your billing period unless canceled.

  • Refunds aren’t issued for canceled sponsorships because funds are distributed to job boards upon creation. You’ll see this policy in-app before confirming.


How to cancel sponsorship

You can cancel at any time by:

  • Closing the job, or

  • Returning to the sponsorship page and clicking Cancel Sponsorship.

Tip: If possible, wait until the end of your current billing cycle so remaining funds can be fully spent.


Tips to improve results

  • List competitive compensation - many candidates skip jobs without pay listed.

  • Add clear value propositions - time off, benefits, culture, etc.

  • Respond quickly to strong applicants - use automatic emails to get interviews booked fast.


Common Questions

Will sponsorship guarantee applicants?
No. Sponsorship increases visibility, but candidates still choose where to apply.

Strong pay, benefits, and fast responses make the biggest difference.
