Q: What types of jobs can be submitted to Workforce50?

Workforce50 does not specify a sector or industry or discipline. We will NOT accept postings for Multi-Level Marketing, Networking, Work-at-Home, or positions requiring job seekers to pay a fee to apply or get started. Postings that suggest such positions will be deleted.

Q: What type of employer can benefit from advertising on Workforce50?

Workforce50 is geared to nearly all professions and levels of experience. Employers using the service range from Fortune 100 corporations to small home-based businesses and everything in between. The only requirement is that the employer is seriously interested in reaching and hiring an older worker. Employers are not required to hire an over-50 candidate but, by virtue of their advertising on Workforce50, they are clearly indicating their interest in reaching this segment of the population.

Q: What is the standard price per job posting on Workforce50?

The current price per job posting is $109.00 USD.

Q: For agencies, is the price net or gross?

The posting fee is net.

Q: How long will a job posting be listed on Workforce50?

Each job posting will be displayed for the standard posting term of 60 days from the date it is approved and activated. The employer can remove the posting or update the posting at any time during the active term.

Q: Is there a maximum word count or word limit on job postings on Workforce50?

No, there is no word limit. We encourage employers to submit job postings that will attract the attention of the job seekers. We typically advise employers to provide an adequate level of detail but not too much.

Q: How does an employer submit a job posting?

The posting process is quick and easy. An employer new to the site needs to register a new employer account. Start on the Employer page and choose to Register, then follow the 4-step process that takes only a couple of minutes. Then, login and click on Posting Manager. This is where the employer manages their postings. Choose to create a new posting using the posting form and, when completed, choose to begin checkout. The employer must complete the checkout process to submit the posting. At the end of the checkout process, the employer will receive an on-screen invoice to print.

Q: How long does it take for a new posting to be activated on Workforce50?

Advertising on Workforce50 can be nearly instantaneous from the time the employer submits the job posting. Unlike print advertising, the job posting is typically displayed online within a couple of hours. We quote an approval time of no more than 24 hours on business days if the registration is complete and the posting up to our standards. It is typically approved, however, within just a few hours of being submitted.

Q: Is each posting reviewed before it is activated and, if so, what is reviewed?

A Workforce50 administrator reviews each job posting within 24 hours of being submitted. The posting is reviewed for compliance with advertising terms and conditions and appropriateness for the Web site. It is not, however, reviewed for spelling or grammar.

Q: Can employers search resumes on Workforce50?

We will soon offer resume search to employers on Workforce50.

Yes, the employer will receive an on-screen invoice to print at the conclusion of checkout. An email invoice confirmation will also be sent at that time. Paper invoices are not provided, however.

Q: How is payment made on Workforce50?

Workforce50 accepts VISA, MasterCard and American Express. An employer can enter credit card information during the secure checkout process. To save time on future purchases, an employer can elect to store credit card information on our secure server during checkout. Credit card payments will appear on your statement under the name of JobMark.com, as it appears on the invoice.

Q: How can an employer extend the term of the posting?

An extension of a job posting is simply the purchase of a renewal period. The terms for renewal are the same as those for a new job posting. The employer will receive a courtesy e-mail reminder when an active posting is about to expire. To extend the posting, login to your account and go to the Posting Manager. Select the title of the posting and choose "Extend" to purchase another 60-day term immediately following the current term. This feature is only available if the posting is still active. Once the posting has expired, simply place the posting in the cart for a regular purchase.

Q: How does an employer obtain W-9 tax information for their records?

Some employers are required to maintain federal tax information on their vendors. To request this information, the employer should use the customer service form.

From the Publisher:

"We are connecting our nations employers with today's energetic over-50 workforce."

As we have noted, Workforce50.com is the new generation of the SeniorJobBank.org. If you have already registered on the SeniorJobBank, your account is now here at Workforce50.com. Some things have not changed - our attention to customer service, our commitment to privacy and integrity and our dedication to providing a quality service to both employers and job seekers.

Our name change
In the 32 years since the SeniorJobBank name was created, American culture has evolved. The term "senior" clearly does not apply to our audience today. Individuals in their 50s, 60s and even 70s, do not consider themselves senior. They are, instead, a little older, a good bit wiser, and an essential part of our nation's workforce. Many people will need to continue working for various reasons but many will elect to continue working. Living longer, healthier lives drives a need to stay engaged and continue to contribute, even if on a part-time basis.

New services and features
Workforce50 will introduce new services and features over time. As we continue to build Workforce50.com into an online employment community for our job seeker audience, our goal is to be the "go-to" place for our readership. From an employer's perspective, delivering more job views and visibility translates into better opportunities to connect with the ideal candidate.

The content we provide is the result of our own research, as well as studies and contributions by many knowledgeable individuals working in the career and life planning fields. Stay tuned as we publish new information about trends, workforce initiatives, current thinking, job search advice, and much more.

"No pastures here."

Greetings!
Hello. I'm Gene Burnard, the Publisher of Workforce50.com. After a long career in engineering (I worked on the moon landing program many years ago.), marketing and sales in the technology industry, I find myself, now, at the young age of 64, with a real passion for what we are doing here at Workforce50.com.

As our new tag line suggests, most 50+ individuals in our country are not ready to be put out to the proverbial pasture. They're vibrant, dedicated, and knowledgeable. As an employer, you can tap into this valuable segment of our population and benefit from the talent, experience and work ethic that they can bring to your company or organization. I know from experience!

We are working on many projects here that will raise the success of our job seekers and employers. To keep up to date on those projects, I recommend that you sign up for our email list.

Wishing you the greatest success and good recruiting. If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
