All .jobs domain name applications will be submitted at registration and will be verified by the registry operator, Employ Media. Some form of proof that you have rights to the requested name must be submitted with the application. In most cases your existing URL (yourcompanyname.com) will be sufficient.

You may be contacted by the .jobs Administrative Staff to answer any questions they may have during the verification process. Most applications will be verified within 3 business days but can take as long as 30 days. Upon positive validation, the .jobs registry will notify us when yourcompanyname.jobs has been "created", thereby allowing it to become visible on the Internet.

Note: A .jobs application is denied if the company name on the application does not match the domain name being applied for. Application fees are non-refundable.

.jobs domains can only be used to post information about your company, such as your own job postings, company culture, company information, etc.

• Third-party job postings (i.e., job boards) are not allowed.
• Non-HR-related uses are not allowed.
