Advertise: Recruitment Advertising FAQs
Billing
1. Do I have to prepay for my ad or will I be billed?
Online job postings. When you place an online job posting (web ad) through careers.philanthropy.com, you must pay for the job posting by credit card or -- if you have established an account with The Chronicle -- purchase order during the purchase process. If this is the first time you are purchasing an online job posting through the Philanthropy Careers site, you must pay by credit card.
Line ads. When you place a line ad through careers.philanthropy.com you may pay by credit card or -- if you have established an account with The Chronicle -- request an invoice. First time advertisers will be required to prepay after the final price is established and will be contacted by an ad rep for prepayment.
Boxed ads. When you request a quote for a boxed ad, The Chronicle will bill you (send you an invoice) when the final cost is determined and approved. First time advertisers will be required to prepay after the final price is established and will be contacted by an ad rep for prepayment. The cost of a boxed ad depends on the size of the ad. When you request a quote for a boxed (print) ad, a Chronicle sales representative will work with you to design your ad and provide a price quote. Once the design has been finalized, you'll receive a proof of your ad with a confirmation of the final cost.
You may pay invoices on our Pay an Invoice page.
2. Is the price quote you gave me in U.S. dollars? Do I have to pay with U.S. currency?
Yes. All prices we quote are in U.S. currency. For all ads, The Chronicle only accepts payment in U.S. currency.
3. Do I need a purchase order to pay for my ad?
If you choose not to prepay for your ad with a credit card, the purchase order number is required to place your ad and receive an invoice to pay later. Please note that prepayment is required for first time advertiser.
Logging in to Philanthropy Careers
4. I subscribe to The Chronicle of Philanthropy, but my Chronicle user name and password don't work when I try to log in to Philanthropy Careers. Why?
Log-in credentials (user names and passwords) are not shared between philanthropy.com and careers.philanthropy.com. You need to create an account on the Philanthropy Careers web site.
5. I'm not able to log in to Philanthropy Careers.
Make sure you have created an account at Philanthropy Careers (careers.philanthropy.com), The Chronicle's self-service website for placing job ads. Don't try to log in on Philanthropy Careers with the user name and password that you use on The Chronicle of Philanthropy website, philanthropy.com; log-in credentials are not shared between the two sites.
Also, don't try to log in with a current or former co-worker's user name and password; you need your own account. For more help, contact The Chronicle at 202-466-1230 or jobs@philanthropy.com.
Placing Web ads
6. Can I make changes to my online job posting?
Yes, you can make changes to an online job posting (web ad) that is currently live on the site. Log in to your account on Philanthropy Careers, and go to the Manage My Ads > See All Ads page. Locate the ad you wish to modify and click the "Edit" button. After making your changes, click the "Next" button at the bottom of the page to confirm. Changes will go live immediately.
7. Can I cancel an online job posting?
Yes, you can cancel an online job posting (web ad) that is currently live on the site.
Log in to your account on Philanthropy Careers, and go to the Manage My Ads > See All Ads page. Locate the ad you wish to cancel; click the "More" button for the ad and then click "Cancel."
If you are starting from the Manage My Ads > See All Packages page, locate the web package that you used to place the ad. Click "View Pkg Ads" to display all of the ads placed against that package. Locate the ad you wish to cancel; click the "More" button for the ad and then click "Cancel."
Your ad and any associated enhancements will be canceled immediately. Your ad's status will display as "canceled." No refunds are given for canceled ads. If you would like to cancel an ad that has not yet started, contact The Chronicle at 202-466-1230 or jobs@philanthropy.com.
8. Can I renew an online job posting?
Yes, you can renew an online job posting (web ad) that is currently live on the site as well as one that has expired.
Log in to your account on Philanthropy Careers, and go to the Manage My Ads > See All Ads page. Locate the ad you wish to renew; click the "More" button for that ad, and then click "Renew."
If you are starting from the Manage My Ads > See All Packages page, locate the web package that you used to place the ad. Click "View Pkg Ads" to display all of the ads placed against that package. Locate the ad you wish to renew; click the "More" button for the ad, and then click "Renew."
During the renew process, you can edit the ad's content, add and remove categories and enhancements, and make other changes.
If you are an agency rep or recruiter, and you placed the original ad for a client, you can renew the ad only for the same client.
If the original ad is still live, the renewed ad will be in a pending status. When the original ad expires, the renewed ad will go live. If you renew an ad that has already expired, the renewed ad will go live on the site immediately.
Renewed ads are assigned new order numbers. Both original and renewed ads can be viewed in Manage My Ads.
Placing Print Ads
9. I'm using the Philanthropy Careers website to place my print ad. There is a section on the form that offers several choices for how candidates should apply for the position. Will the option I choose appear in my print ad?
No. This section of the form determines whether or not the online version of your ad should display an "Apply Now" button; it does not display in your print ad. You must include "how to apply" information in the text of your print ad for interested candidates who see the ad in print.
If you are uploading a finished boxed ad as a PDF file, be sure the information is included in the ad.
If you are having The Chronicle design your boxed ad, or you are placing a line ad, include "how to apply" information in the text of your ad, which is entered on the form in the "Position Description" field.
10. What are The Chronicle's print issue dates and deadlines?
View The Chronicle's issue dates and deadlines here.
11. How do I determine the cost of my boxed ad?
The cost of a boxed ad depends on the size of the ad. When you request a quote for a boxed ad, a Chronicle sales representative will work with you to design your ad and provide a price quote. Once the design has been finalized, you'll receive a proof of your ad with a confirmation of the final cost.
12. Is my print ad also posted online? For how long?
Yes, an online version of your print ad will appear on The Chronicle of Philanthropy's jobs site for 30 days.
13. Can the online version of my print ad contain different text?
No; the content of the online version must be identical to the content of the print ad. The content of boxed ads may be reformatted slightly to display correctly online. Line ads look the same online as they do in print. For more information, contact our recruitment advertising team at 202-466-1230 or email jobs@philanthropy.com.
14. Is there a multiple publication discount?
A multiple publication discount can be earned if your boxed ad is running in both The Chronicle of Philanthropy and our sister publication, The Chronicle of Higher Education. The discount is 20% off the combined display rate for each publication. The multiple publication discount is not available for online job postings or line ads.
