What is JobsHQ?

JobsHQ is a free service for job seekers. You do not need an account to search this site. However, you do need an account for our resume services and posting jobs.



Searching JobsHQ

Find Jobs - No registration is required
Searching for jobs on JobsHQ is simple. On the main page you can choose to browse a job category for all jobs listed by our member newspapers and web advertisers; or enter a keyword in the job search to search all ads. (You may also refine your search by selecting a single paper from the dropdown and choosing a category, or entering a keyword.)

Browsing categories
Since our jobs come from many newspapers with different classifications, JobsHQ searches the words in all ads to assign it to a specific category. This could result in some ads appearing in inappropriate categories. To find a specific business or opportunity you may choose to search by entering your own keyword, rather than browsing the categories.

Featured Employers
Featured employers have the ability to upload all of their jobs directly to the JobsHQ website and have these jobs appear in category and keyword searching results with the newspaper ads.

Display advertising
Many of our member newspapers upload "display advertisements" in addition to text. The display ads are assigned to categories and show up in search results, but an image with the ad text will load when you click on the listing for more information.

Hot Jobs
Some jobs appear to the left of the search results. Advertisers pay extra to have their ad stand out in front of the JobsHQ users. Ask your newspaper classified advertising representative on how to have your ad marked as a Hot Job.
