How to Post a Job Listing on cleveland.com

To post a job listing on cleveland.com, use the dedicated employer portal at hiring.cleveland.com/purchase/post-now/. That page is the site's self-serve entry point for paid job postings; it is separate from the newsroom and from the reader subscription flow at cleveland.com/subscribe. The steps below cover what to prepare, how to submit, and what to check before and after publishing.

Before You Start: What to Prepare

The posting page is a purchase flow, so treat it as a paid classifieds product rather than a free community board. Have the following ready before you open the form:

• Job title and location — be specific about the worksite city, since cleveland.com serves Cleveland, Akron, and the surrounding region.
• Full description — responsibilities, required qualifications, schedule, and pay range if you intend to publish one.
• Application instructions — an external application URL or a contact method for candidates.
• Company identity — the legal or trading name candidates will recognize.
• Payment method — the flow is a purchase, so expect a checkout step.

Step-by-Step: Submitting the Listing

1. Open https://hiring.cleveland.com/purchase/post-now/ in a browser.
2. Choose the posting package or duration offered on that page. Pricing is shown in the purchase flow itself; confirm the amount and term before continuing.
3. Enter the job details in the form fields — title, description, location, and category.
4. Add your application link or contact instructions so candidates know where to send materials.
5. Review the preview for typos, broken links, and formatting problems.
6. Complete checkout to submit the posting for publication.

Expected result: after payment is confirmed, the listing is queued for the jobs section of the site. Keep the confirmation email or receipt — it is your reference if the post needs editing or renewal.

Common Snags and How to Handle Them

• The form will not submit. Usually a required field is empty or the description exceeds the field limit. Shorten the text and re-check every required field.
• Checkout fails. Try a different browser or payment method before retrying; do not submit the same order twice.
• The listing is not visible yet. New paid posts can take time to appear. Check the confirmation message for any stated review window before assuming something went wrong.
• You need to change the post after publishing. Use the contact or account options referenced in your purchase confirmation rather than resubmitting a second paid listing.
• You want editorial coverage instead. A job posting is a paid classified; it does not place your company in a news story. News tips go through the newsroom's normal contact channels.

Deciding Whether This Is the Right Channel

If your hiring is outside Northeast Ohio, a regional outlet like this one gives you less reach per dollar than a national job board. If the role is local and you want the listing in front of people already reading Cleveland-area news, the dedicated posting page is the direct route.
