For Hire Network

Your board stays yours. Your reach doesn't have to stop there.

Fernain Job Boards give organizations an owned career marketplace. For Hire is an optional network layer that can connect eligible, participating boards without replacing the marketplace an organization already operates.

Extend your organization’s reach while keeping your own brand, marketplace, employer relationships, and operating model — and give professionals access to relevant opportunities beyond a single board.

Ownership without isolation

Build your own market. Connect it when it makes sense.

Organizations should not have to choose between owning their career marketplace and benefiting from a larger network. For Hire treats the two as compatible.

Fernain Job Board

Your organization’s owned career marketplace — your brand, your employers, and your way of operating.

  • Your brand and public board identity
  • Your employer relationships
  • Your products and pricing where applicable
  • Your organization-scoped marketplace experience

For Hire Network

An optional layer that extends eligible boards into a broader network without replacing the marketplace they already operate.

  • Optional network participation
  • Broader opportunity and market reach
  • Network-scoped participation where enabled
  • Shared network value without giving up your board

How participation works

Four steps. All of them yours to control.

Participation is a board setting, not a platform takeover. Your organization decides whether and how For Hire becomes part of its marketplace.

01 — Operate your board

Run your branded marketplace with the jobs, employers, candidates, products, and experiences your organization already manages.

02 — Choose participation

Decide whether For Hire participation is enabled and manage that choice through your board’s For Hire settings.

03 — Set the boundaries

Configure applicable employer access, moderation, branding, copy, filters, pricing references, and reporting settings.

04 — Extend the market

Eligible activity can gain network scope while your organization continues operating its own marketplace.

What stays yours

Network reach does not mean giving up your market.

For Hire is additive. Your organization keeps control of the marketplace it operates and the settings that shape its participation.

  • Your brand, board identity, and public experience
  • Your employer relationships and customer relationships
  • Your marketplace configuration and operating model
  • Your products and pricing references
  • Your organization-scoped data, copy, and filters
  • Your moderation approach
  • Your organization-scoped reporting references

What the network adds

More reach where a network creates value.

For Hire extends an eligible board beyond its local marketplace while preserving the organization’s role at the center of the experience.

  • Optional reach beyond a single participating board
  • Local or network participation where enabled
  • Employer access shaped by the organization’s chosen mode
  • Network activity managed through a dedicated For Hire area
  • Organization-scoped branding, copy, filters, and reporting

Control and moderation

Participate without surrendering control.

For Hire settings let the organization decide how network participation fits the marketplace it already runs.

Who can reach your market

Your organization determines how employers access For Hire activity on its board.

  • Public browse access where enabled
  • Authenticated employer access where enabled
  • Customer-only access where appropriate

How activity is moderated

Choose the review approach that fits how your organization wants to operate.

  • Publication review before or after activity goes live
  • Manual hold for organization review
  • Enrollment and inquiry moderation from the For Hire area

For employers

More opportunity to reach the right professionals.

Participating boards can give employers broader access while the organization remains central to the employer relationship and controls how that access works.

  • Employer access governed by the organization’s chosen mode
  • Inquiries managed and moderated by the organization
  • Enrollments reviewed under the organization’s rules
  • The organization remains the employer’s marketplace relationship

For professionals

More opportunity without leaving the community that brought them in.

A professional may come to your board because they know your organization, trust your community, or work in your market. For Hire can expand what they discover by connecting them with relevant opportunities across participating career marketplaces.

  • Discover relevant opportunities beyond a single board
  • Stay connected to a career experience rooted in a trusted community
  • Explore opportunities across participating markets where enabled
  • Signal openness to opportunities through For Hire enrollment

Professional participation

One clear way to signal you’re open to opportunity.

On participating boards, professionals can enroll in For Hire with their own headline and an available participation scope, subject to the organization’s settings and moderation.

For the professional

  • Use a professional headline
  • Choose an available local or network scope
  • Participate through a board they already know

For the organization

  • Control which scopes are available
  • Moderate participation according to board settings
  • Keep the experience connected to the organization’s market

Eligibility

Built for association boards. Clear about the rest.

For Hire participation is available to eligible boards. The organization’s operating model determines what applies.

Recruiter and staffing boards use a different operating experience and do not receive the same For Hire surface.
