Employers buy job posting packages when they want postings they can use later. If an employer buys by phone, by invoice, or in person instead of through the Portal, you can record the purchase for them from the Console.
Before You Begin
Prerequisites
- You need permission to purchase job posting packages for employers.
- The employer must exist as an organization, and that organization needs at least one contact.
- An administrator must set up Career Center checkout settings before staff or employers can buy packages. If those settings are not configured, the purchase screen does not open and asks for setup first.
Tip
This screen sells to one employer organization at a time. You cannot assign the same package purchase to many organizations in bulk from here, so sell it to each organization separately.
Start the Purchase
- Go to Career Center › Job Postings.
- Select Purchase a Package.
- Under Select the employer organization:, choose the employer's organization and one of its contacts.
- Select Start Purchase.
Choose Packages and Complete the Order
- On the Select a Career Center Package step, enter a quantity next to each package you're selling. You need at least one quantity above zero to continue.
- Select Next.
- On Order Details, enter the payment and order information the checkout asks for.
- Select Next to reach Review Order.
- Check the priced order, then select Process Order.
Result
The wizard shows Career Package Purchase Processed Successfully, then returns you to the employer's organization record in the Console.
Tip
Quantities must be whole numbers. If you enter a fraction, Rhythm rounds it down without warning, and there is no maximum quantity. This screen offers every package set up in your Rhythm account, including packages employers cannot buy for themselves in the Portal.
Warning
The organization record can still show the employer's old available-postings count right after the sale because Rhythm adds the credit in the background shortly after the purchase finishes processing. If you need to post a job for this employer right away, give it a moment or check the balance again before assuming the credit has not arrived.
Leave Without Buying
- Before selecting Process Order, select Cancel on any step of the wizard.
Result
Nothing is charged or saved, and you return to the Job Postings overview.
Warning
If you leave the purchase screen another way, such as the breadcrumb, the left menu, or your browser's back button, Rhythm also abandons the purchase without asking you to confirm. After you select Process Order, the sale becomes a Rhythm order record, and any cancellation has to be handled through that order instead of from this screen.
If It Fails
- You can't open the purchase screen. You need permission to purchase job posting packages, so ask an administrator to grant it.
- The wizard doesn't start and shows a message about settings. Your Rhythm account's Career Center checkout settings have not been configured yet. Have an administrator set them up, then try again.
- Next stays disabled on the package step. Enter a quantity above zero for at least one package.
- The order is refused when reviewing it. Correct the issue shown in the review page's message, such as a missing payment method, then try Process Order again.
