Whether you are hiring for a job or hunting for one, matching qualified professionals with the local governments who need them is a top priority here at ICMA. To that end, we have recently upgraded our Job Center. The new job board functionality is now integrated with the ICMA web site and Knowledge Network, and allows for a more seamless interaction for both advertisers and job seekers.

Employers and recruiters will like...

• Ads will not disappear from your ad history, so you can easily reactivate or renew a job opportunity, copy an old posting, or access an old invoice or receipt
• Universal login - you no longer need your old Employer account and anyone with an ICMA account can post a job ad
• Pay by purchase order (for the account holder's local government)
• Ads will now run for 60 days (instead of 30)
• Ads are priced by job function (CAO, senior management, staff/entry level, intern)
• CAO ads do not expire until the recruiter or local government has completed their search (initially posted for 60 days, but easily renewed at no cost)
• CAO ads automatically appear in the ICMA Newsletter at no additional cost
• A-la-carte options are available for job ads to be included in other areas of the ICMA and Alliance for Innovation web sites
• Automatic receipt/invoice generation for employers upon placing an ad
• ICMA member discount of 25% off the total order! 

JOB SEEKERS WILL LIKE...

• An interactive Google map to view opportunities by geographic region
• New search and slider features to help customize your search
• Jobs can be tagged by employers by topic area, so they will "float in" to relevant topic pages in the Knowledge Network
• A search box and jobs feed now appear right on the Careers home page for easier job seeking.
