Self Serve Upgraded Ads

In a select number of countries, Advertisers have the option to pay for greater exposure of their free standard or ‘Basic’ Ads to that of a ‘Plus’ Ad or a ‘Max’ Ad.
A ‘Plus’ Ad entitles you to the features of a standard or ‘Basic’ Ad with increased exposure for your Ad.
A ‘Max’ Ad entitles you to the features of a standard or ‘Basic’ Ad with even higher exposure for your Ad above that of a ‘Plus’ Ad.
The cost of purchasing a ‘Plus’ Ad or ‘Max’ Ad on the Site will be shown to Advertisers immediately prior to purchasing, and JobsDB reserves the right to change the price of purchasing a ‘Plus’ or ‘Max’ ad at any time.
JobsDB reserves the right to change the price of purchasing a ‘Plus’ Ad or ‘Max’ Ad at any time.
Once purchased, your Ad will receive increased exposure for the remaining duration of the Ad, being a period of no more than 28 days, commencing on average 1-2 hours after the Ad has been published and payment is successful.
During the period that a ‘Plus’ or ‘Max’ Ad is live on the Site, JobsDB takes various measures to increase the exposure of your Ad based on the type of Ad you have purchased. Such measures may include but are not limited to ads appearing: on Sponsored Ad slots, more frequently on the job search results page on the Site and App, in direct communications to relevant candidates, and on external partner sites. You acknowledge that the promotion measures employed by JobsDB, and the frequency of that promotion are at JobsDB’s sole discretion.
Whilst ‘Plus’ Ads and ‘Max’ Ads receive greater exposure on the Site than other JobsDB Ads, JobsDB provides no guarantee and makes no representation that these will result in an increase in the number of applications received in relation to a standard or ‘Basic’ Ad, and you acknowledge that application levels are influenced by many factors beyond the control of JobsDB.
