Frequently-Asked Questions
Jobseekers
I need a job, can you help me?
Yes! You have come to the right place if you are looking for a job. Our mission is to simplify the job-seeking journey by giving you, the jobseeker, the confidence and certainty that you have seen all available job opportunities at any given point. We use aggregation technology to pull all the job ads that meet your search criteria into your results page. To start your search today simply type the job and location you are looking to apply for and click ‘search for jobs’. There are thousands of new jobs added to the site everyday, so we encourage you to set up a personal job alert so you never miss a relevant job opportunity.
Our website is designed to make your search easy so that you can find the best jobs for yourself independently. Please note that Jora is not a recruitment service or immigration agency.
Is Jora free?
Jora is free for all candidates to search and apply for jobs.
How do I change or cancel an email alert?
Maybe you got the job!? Or have decided to change your search criteria. We get it. At any time you can edit, pause or cancel your email alerts by navigating to the My Alerts section of Your Account page. The My Alerts section will provide you with a list of email alerts that have been associated with your account.
If daily alerts are too frequent (yes, we post a lot of new jobs!) you can change your email alert frequency from daily to weekly. Click the link ‘edit job alert’ at the bottom of the email, then click the option to ‘Switch to weekly job alert’.
If you have subscribed to email alerts and you have not yet registered an account with us, you can cancel your email alerts by scrolling to the bottom of your email alert and clicking the link ‘Cancel this email alert’. Each email alert you have set up is individual, so don’t forget to unsubscribe from each alert if you want to stop receiving email alerts from us completely.
How do I create an account?
To create an account on Jora you need to go to the Sign Up page, enter your email address and a password in the create an account form. You can access the Sign Up page via the Login button on the homepage, under the Jobseeker tab. You can register to have a Jora account directly through Jora or using your Facebook, Apple or Google sign up information.
Can I delete my account?
As a job seeker, you can delete your account by signing in to your Account page.
- Click the Delete account link.
- Enter “delete” to proceed.
- You will see a confirmation window. If you are certain that you would like to proceed, click on Delete. Please note that this is an irreversible action and cannot be undone.
Instead of deleting your account, you have the option to edit, pause or delete your alerts or unsubscribe in your email alerts that you are actively receiving.
If you wish to use Jora again after deleting your account, you can create a new account using the same or any other email address, however, you will no longer have access to any of your original information.
If you do not see the option to delete your account, submit your request to our support team for further assistance.
I don’t remember my password. How can I reset?
Forgot your password? Don’t worry, it happens to all of us! If you have an existing account with us you can quickly reset your password by navigating to ‘Forgot your password?’ and filling out the email textbox. After submitting the email address you will receive an email with a link to reset your password.
It’s common to think you have set up an account with us, when you have only set up email alerts so keep this in mind. You can register for email alerts about new jobs without an account. If you need to Edit, Pause or Delete your email alerts, you can still do so by navigating to Alerts within your account, or by scrolling to the bottom of an alert you received and click on ‘Edit Job Alert’.
How can I edit my profile?
Within your account you can manage your job alerts, save jobs you are interested in, and view and update your email address and password associated with your account. Visit the Your Account page or log in and click on Profile to access and update any of your account details. To update your email address or password associated with the account click edit profile.
I did not receive confirmation instructions, how can I resend it?
When you sign up for an account we will send you an email to verify your email address. It can sometimes be caught in your junk mail, so please check just in case it went there by mistake. If you didn’t receive our confirmation email you can manually request to have it resent by going to the ‘Email Confirmation’ page. Enter your email address and click to submit the form, and an email confirmation will be sent to you.
How to apply for a job?
To apply for a job on Jora, click the job title of the role you would like to apply for. This will open up a new window, and depending on the type of job there are three ways to apply.
- Jora ensures you can see all the jobs available in one place by pulling job ads into our website. For these job ads you will be redirected to the employer, recruiter or job board website to apply. Please read the job description and application instructions carefully since some employers have specific requirements. Most jobs will require you to submit a CV (resume) and a cover letter.
- For some jobs, a job description page will open up. To apply for these roles, click the link ‘View or apply for job’ which will redirect you to the employer site. Follow the instructions provided by the employer to make sure you have covered all the application requirements to successfully apply for the job.
How do I search for jobs in Jora?
To find jobs, enter your search query and your desired location in the search bar and click on the ‘search jobs’ button. After you click the search button, you will see a list of jobs that meet your search criteria. You can refine your search to get even more relevant results by clicking the green drop down menus at the top of the page. Refine by job type (full time, casual/temporary, part time, permanent or apprenticeship), how recently the job was advertised, how close the job is to your current location by km’s, and salary range.
How can I keep track of a job I’m interested in?
If you’re not quite ready to apply, you can find the ‘save job’ right next to ‘apply’ at the top and bottom of each job page. You can also click ‘save job’ on the search results page next to any role you might find interesting.
If you are logged into your account these jobs will be instantly saved to your account. You can find the jobs you saved by clicking the ‘Profile’ button and ‘My Jobs’.
If you don’t yet have an account, you will be prompted to make an account to use this handy feature.
The ‘save job’ feature can also be used to keep track of the job advertisements that you have already applied to.
How can I view my list of previous searches?
If you have visited our website and input a query, your last searches should appear at the top of the page so you can easily recommence your search based on your previous search terms. Click on your recent search query, or the number of new jobs available to recommence your search and see all the available jobs that meet your criteria.
We want to help you to quickly identify which jobs are new, which ones you have already seen, viewed the details of, and applied for. A flag on the top right of each job listing will change depending on what stage you are at with each job.
New - a job listing you haven’t yet seen.
Seen - this job listing has previously appeared in your search, but you haven’t yet clicked to see the job description.
Viewed details - you have previously clicked into this job listing to view the job description for this job.
Started applying - you have started to fill out the application but haven’t submitted your application yet
Applied - your application has been submitted for this role.
How do I create an email alert?
Keep track of the latest jobs on Jora that meet your search criteria by creating a personal job alert.
If you don’t have an account, or are not logged in
- Enter a specific query into the search box and click ‘Search jobs’.
- On the right hand side of the page, you will be prompted to enter your email address to create a job alert for your search. Enter your email address and click ‘Create job alert’ to confirm and create the job alert.
- Entering your email address in this textbox will send you job alerts but it is different to having a Jora account.
If you are logged into your account
- Click on the ‘Alerts’ button at the top of the Jora website. This will take you to the page within your profile where you can see your existing job alerts, and create new ones.
- Enter a keyword (ie. Barista), Location, Radius, Job Type and Salary Estimate.
- Click ‘Create Job Alert’ to confirm your search preferences and start receiving email alerts.
You can remove email alerts at any time by going into your email alert in your inbox and clicking the link ‘Cancel’ which is situated at the bottom of the email alert.
Please be aware that if you did not input any location or keywords, the results you will get will be very broad. We suggest that you first make sure you are happy with the results before you create an email alert. If you create several email alerts for very similar queries, you will get very similar or identical results, too. You can change or remove redundant email alerts at any time.
The job ad has offensive content, no longer exists or is a spam. How to proceed?
If you have found any abusive or fraudulent job advertisements, please send us a message via the “Contact Form” with the link and we will remove that particular job advertisement immediately.
If you have found a job advertisement that is no longer being published on our website it may be due to the fact that we have manually removed it from our system or it has been removed by the original publisher of the content. In any case we are not able to provide you with the job advertisement details and you may have to contact the publisher directly.
How can I get more details about a particular vacancy?
To get the most accurate and up to date details about a specific vacancy, you need to contact the company or the author of the job advertisement using the contact details they have provided on the listing. The majority of the job advertisements will redirect you to the appropriate website.
At Jora we will list all the available job advertisements on our platform, but do not take ownership of the job advertisements themselves, nor are we a part of the application process.
