Weekly Article
How to register and use your company’s .jobs domain
By Davis Advertising
1. Learn more about
the new .jobs domain
Sponsored by SHRM, the new .jobs domain offers
job seekers an exact destination for your job and career
information. Your “companyname.jobs” domain will
clearly point candidates to your job-related pages
without the need to search for a career link on your
corporate home page.
Not only will this enhance candidate hospitality, it
will also make it easier for search engines and spiders
to find and aggregate company job listings on the
Internet.
A start-up trade name registration period of 60 days
has been set between June 19th and August 19th of 2005.
During this period, it is required that you substantiate
your company name as an employer organization.
2. Select a registrar
A
list of approved registrars is available on
employmedia.com. Make sure that you compare
prices.
We found that prices during the start-up period
fluctuate between $120 and $199 for one year. Prices may
be lower after August 19, 2005 but we recommend that you
act as quickly as possible to secure your company’s
name.
3. Fill out an online application
Most of the registrars offer a simple online
registration process. You’ll be asked to provide some
form of proof that you have a right to the requested
name. In most cases, a company’s existing URL will be
sufficient. Your application will be verified by the
registry operator, Employ Media.
Most applications will be verified within 3 business
days if there are no questions or problems with the
request.
Instances in which there’s more than a single valid
request for an identical companyname.jobs will
enter the .jobs conflict resolution process.
After the initial 60-day period, valid name requests
will be on a first-come, first-served basis
4. Work with your IS department or
Web provider to post your career site content to your
.jobs site
Once your registration is confirmed, you should
provide your IS or Web services provider with the
confirmation. We suggest that you may want to start by
mirroring your career section on your new .jobs
domain. Your service provider will be able to give you
advice on any database issues, keyword optimization
techniques, and the best use of your new job-specific
domain name.
Feel free to contact Davis if you need help with the
transition, improving your existing career site, or if
you’d like to develop a brand-new career site for your
company.
5. Measure your results
Because this is a new domain, it will take some time
for job seekers to become familiar with its existence.
Keeping track of how many people visit your new .jobs
site or apply online through your .jobs pages
will help you measure the effectiveness of the new
domain.
A few months after activation, we suggest that you
search for specific jobs on several search sites to see
if your .jobs postings show up on the results
pages. On some search sites you can register to receive
e-mail notification when a search engine has referenced
your specific job pages.
Industry experts do expect an increase in the number
of job listings and career information that will be
available through searches on sites such as Google and
Yahoo! Some even predict that paid text-only job
postings may lose their appeal. Whatever the outcome, we
strongly urge you to secure your .jobs domain today.
