🚀 Need more visibility for a hard-to-fill position? WALA has options beyond the free basic job posting.

WALA members can post unlimited Standard job listings at no cost. But when a position needs extra attention, an Enhanced or Premium posting can help you reach more candidates.

Choose Enhanced when you want your job to stand out.
Your 30-day posting becomes a Featured Job, highlighted at the top of search results so more job seekers see it.

Choose Premium when you need maximum exposure.
Premium keeps your job posted for 60 days, features it at the top of search results, showcases your company logo on the Career Center homepage, and expands your reach by publishing the job through additional partners.

Hiring for a critical role? Struggling to find candidates? Want to build more awareness for your organization? That’s when the extra visibility can make a difference.
