Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve registered my business information on the site. Why am I not appearing in search results?

Because this site focuses on individuals rather than businesses, your business itself will not appear in any search results. Instead, individuals attached to businesses will be presented to users in search/browse results; when a user clicks on the individual they will be taken to your business advertisement. Please ensure that you have added at least one individual to your business. Each subscription to HirePulse includes at least one free slot to add an individual to.

I’ve updated an individual but I’m not appearing in browse results. Why is this?

After you’ve updated the information for one of your individuals, changes may take up to 20 minutes to affect browse results. You should wait for 20 minutes before checking browse results for your individual after you have updated his/her profile; if you still can’t see the updated information after this time, please contact us.

I’ve created my advertisement and filled up the available slots with individuals. How do I add another individual?

Click the link on your dashboard that says “Add another individual”. You will be taken through the same process as for your previous individual(s) except that you will be charged a fee for the creation of the new individual.

What happens when I remove an individual from my advertisement?

When you remove an individual, the individual will disappear from your public advertisement and the slot that that individual occupied will be free for you to create another individual. If you add another individual in the previous one’s place, you will not be charged.

I removed an individual from my advertisement accidentally. Can I undo this?

No, you will not be able to undo this operation.

Can I have more than one advertisement attached to my account?

Yes, you can maintain as many advertisements as you like with the same account. To create a new advertisement, click “Add another business” on the top-right hand side of your dashboard.

Affiliations

Why should I add other HirePulse businesses as affiliates?

If some of the people or businesses that you work with are also advertising on HirePulse, it is worth establishing an affiliation through the site so that potential employers can get a better idea of extra resources that you may have access to when you secure work with them. Additionally, you will appear on your affiliate’s public advertisement, potentially driving more traffic to your ad.

How do I add an affiliate to my business advertisement?

While logged in to the site, simply find the business that you wish to be affiliated with and select “Add as affiliate” from the Affiliates section of their public advertisement. A request will be sent to the account holder of the business and if the account holder accepts the request, you will appear on their list of affiliates and they will appear on yours.

Can I remove an affiliate after the relationship has been established on HirePulse?

Yes. At any time you can go to your dashboard and click “Remove this affiliation”. You will be removed from their public advertisement immediately.

Social Networking

What are the advantages of connecting my social network profiles to my HirePulse advertisement?

Social networking is a great way for you to gain more exposure to your advertisement. Connecting your existing Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn profiles to your HirePulse advertisement will allow you to display links to these profiles from this site. This will encourage potential clients to find out more about you. Additionally, you will be able to import information from your social networking profiles and automatically fill in part of your HirePulse profile.
