Help Centre
Answers to common questions from job seekers, employers, and advertisers using SAJobMarket.
This Help Centre collects the questions we are asked most often. If you need something else, the fastest channel is still email — support@sajobmarket.co.za.
For job seekers
How do I apply for a job?
Open the listing, read the SAJobMarket brief, and use the built-in application form. Your email client will open a message addressed to the SAJobMarket inbox so our team can review the submission and route it to the correct employer contact.
Do I have to create an account?
No. The public job index, guides, and internal application routing work without an account. Optional features such as job alerts ask for an email address so that we can send the alerts you subscribed to.
Can SAJobMarket guarantee a job offer?
No. We provide discovery, context, and communication tools. Final hiring decisions are made by employers, and outcomes depend on factors outside our control.
How can I report a suspicious listing?
Email support@sajobmarket.co.za with the listing URL and what looked off. Review our Job Scam Guide before acting on any listing that requests payment or sensitive information up front.
Why do I need to check closing dates myself?
Closing dates can change after we publish. We try to keep pages current, but when the stakes are high (for example, a government vacancy with a specific reference), verify the closing date against the employer's primary notice before submitting.
For employers
How do I post a vacancy?
Use the Submit Job page and include complete role details, a real company contact, and the salary range where possible. Listings with enough specificity are published faster and attract better-fit candidates.
How long does moderation take?
Most submissions are reviewed during business hours. Incomplete or high-risk listings (for example, generic posts without salary, location, or company identification) can take longer while we request more detail.
What makes a listing perform well?
- A specific job title, not a generic label.
- Location at least down to city and province.
- Salary or a realistic salary signal.
- A clear application route with correct contact details.
- Honest requirements that match the actual role level.
How do I edit or remove a listing?
Email us with the page URL and the change needed, using the same address you submitted the listing from. We verify authority before applying changes.
