New Search Results Sorting Rules

In an effort to make our search results more usable we have changed the way we sort job listings search results. Until now we have listed all Premium listings first, but we are now changing the search results behavior and listing jobs by date. Premium listings will still be marked with a red label.

Starting today we are offering an additional feature for our higher end job listings.

• 3 month job listings will now be listed bold type for additional visibility.
  

  
  

• Gold Star listings will get an additional gold highlight in the search results pages making them stand out even more.
  

You can see these features in the picture above, or live by searching our jobs database. We've added several features over the last few weeks and we hope you're enjoying them. We working hard to be your preferred site for church jobs, pastor jobs and employment. Please tell your colleagues about us! As always, if you have any suggestions we'd love to hear from you.

Redesigned homepage launched

ChurchJobs.net has launched a redesigned homepage today. We've given the site a bit of a paint job, but beyond that our goal is to make using our site as simple and straight forward as possible. Our philosophy has been to focus on giving churches and candidates the best chance to connect, without distractions. For example, although we do have advertising on the site, we don't bombard our users with ads. We keep our ads out of the way and to a minimum. And by the way, we never use popups.

You'll notice a new keyword/job type search right on the front page. We also still have an advanced search page for those users who want a more detailed search. We've made the top menu bar a little taller, and put more options in each menu.

If you miss the old homepage don't worry, we kept it here. If you prefer the old homepage simply bookmark it and keep using it.

We've also launched a couple of new features in the last 2 weeks.

1. Gold Star listings now have the ability to screen applicants by requiring a certain level of education, and years of experience.

2. Gold Star listings now have the ability to choose a secondary job category for job listings.

3. We launched a new mobile site with search. Check it out at m.churchjobs.net on your mobile phone.

ChurchJobs.net has been growing consistently and we'd like to thank all of our users for making that happen. Traffic is up, and people are finding the site valuable in their search. If you have any suggestions for new features please let us know. We're constantly striving to improve ChurchJobs.net and welcome suggestions from our users.

New Feature: Choose a Secondary Category

ChurchJobs.net is rolling out a new feature today. Churches who need to post their job listing in more than one category now have a new option. All Gold Star job listings now have the ability to be listed in a second category. That means that you'll get more visibility on our site.

When you log into your My ChurchJobs page and Edit your job listing you will see the new option listed under "Job Information."

We're always up for new features so if you have a suggestion, let us know.

Let ChurchJobs.net screen applicants for you

Churches now have the option to let us screen applicants by setting minimum education and years of experience. If these options are set, only applicants that meet your criteria will be allowed to apply for the job. This will cut down the number of applicants you will receive, but can be beneficial for certain churches. This feature is available with our Gold Star listings.

Once your job is posted, simply visit My ChurchJobs and click the "Edit" link next to your job listing. You'll see the box pictured above. Once set, applicants will be required to meet your minimum criteria to apply.

New ChurchJobs.net Mobile site now includes search

We've given the mobile site some new features, including search. Now you'll be able to access the entire jobs database on your iPhone, Android, or BlackBerry. Check out the new site at m.churchjobs.net!
