We know the drill. You have a hard-to-fill role, a stack of tabs open to various job boards, and a growing suspicion that your ideal candidate isn't actually on those boards.

They aren’t spending their Sunday nights refreshing a corporate career site. They’re on OfferUp—browsing for a new commuter car, upgrading their home office, or picking up gear for a side hustle.

With OfferUp Jobs, we’re making it easier than ever to put your open roles exactly where your neighbors already are. Whether you’re looking for a full-time specialist or a reliable "circular native" for gig work, your search starts here.

How to get your role live in minutes

We’ve streamlined our posting process so you can get back to what matters: running your business.

  1. Log In & Level Up: Head to OfferUp.com on your desktop and log in to your business account.
  2. The "Post a Job" Button: It’s your new best friend. Click it to begin.
  3. Tell Your Story: Complete the Job Overview. This is where you’ll share the title, location, and a description that sings. (Pro-tip: Focus on the impact of the role, not just the tasks!)
  4. Review & Confirm: Give it a final scan for typos. In our 2026 update, we've made the feed faster than ever, so once you hit "OK," your role is locked in.
  5. Secure Your Spot: Select your payment method and confirm. Your listing will hit the dedicated jobs feed across both our web and mobile app within a few hours.

The "Pro" Checklist: What you’ll need

To make your listing stand out in a high-velocity feed, have these details ready:

  • A Clear Title & Category: Help our search engine find you.
  • Zip Code: We’re all about local. This ensures the right neighbors see your post.
  • Employment Type: Be clear—is this Full-Time, Part-Time, or a Gig?
  • Your Brand: Adding your company logo is a "trust multiplier" that helps candidates recognize a local staple.
  • The "Apply" Link: A direct URL to your application process keeps the friction low.

Frequently asked questions (from Pros like you)

How do I know my job is live? Once posted, your role will be active for 30 days. You can check its status anytime under "My Jobs." If the role is filled early, you can close it; if you need more candidates after 30 days, simply start a fresh listing to jump back to the top of the feed.

How do candidates reach out? We meet them where they are. Applicants can apply via your preferred method—whether that’s your website, a phone call, or an email—directly through the app or web interface.

What if I have a lot of roles to fill? If you’re scaling fast (think 50+ roles) or need industry-specific bulk solutions for sectors like Motors or Services, we have dedicated tools for that. [Contact our team here] to learn about our high-volume partner programs.
