Files may be attached to job postings to supplement the information placed within the description field by using the "Attach a file" link. Common uses for this file attachment functionality are to provide applicants with background information about your organization or a complete contract for reference. It is important that you do not only attach the postition description and leave the description text area blank. Doing so will prevent searches for posting information being successful.
Job posting attachments may also be hidden from applicants to store office-use-only documents.
