Hard-to-Fill & Critical Searches

 

Boosted Job Listings—Starting at $595
Reach Even More Qualified Higher Education Candidates
 

A Standard Job Listing is a great fit for many openings. But when a position is especially important, difficult to fill or time-sensitive, additional visibility can help you reach more qualified higher education professionals. A Boosted Job Listing gives your opening priority placement, extended visibility and additional promotion—helping it stand out to more active and passive candidates, strengthen your applicant pool and improve hiring outcomes.

This premium listing includes:

  • All standard listing benefits

  • Priority placement in search results.

  • Added promotion in the Career Advice Weekly Update e-newsletter, reaching 15,000+ higher ed professionals actively looking to advance their careers.

  • Extended visibility. Posted for 75 days — 25% longer than standard listings.

  • Single Boosted Job Listings – Purchase online for individual openings.

  • Multi-Packs (3, 5 or 10) – Purchase online and use them all at once or throughout the year.

When does a Boosted Listing Make Sense? 

This solution is ideal when you're:

  • Hiring for a hard-to-fill position
    That requires specialized skills or experience.

  • Filling a mission-critical role
    Where attracting the strongest candidate pool matters.

  • Working against a tight hiring timeline
    When a position opened unexpectedly.

  • Making multiple hires at once
    Such as a cluster hire or expanding a department.

  • Recruiting in a highly competitive field
    Where candidates have multiple opportunities.

  • Working with a highly selective hiring committee 
    That's looking for a larger pool of candidates from which to select. 

 

Is this Upgrade Really Worth it?

A Boosted Job Listing gives your opening additional visibility beyond job search results through featured newsletter placement and more prominent positioning on Inside Higher Ed Careers—helping your opportunity reach professionals who are actively searching for a new role and those who may not have been looking but are open to the right next step. 

Added visibility where it matters:

  • PASSIVE CANDIDATES
    Many of the strongest candidates already have jobs. They're not browsing job boards—but they are reading Inside Higher Ed.

  • ACTIVE JOB SEEKERS
    You reach more active job seekers. Expanded visibility helps connect with professionals who are planning to change jobs and will notice the extra attention you are giving this particular role.

  • IMMEDIATE OUTREACH
    Your opening appears where professionals already spend time. Featured placement puts your opportunity alongside trusted higher education content.
