FAQ
How Jobs United works
Pick where you want to start. If something is unclear, write from the bottom of the page or open support in the corner.
Account
First pick individual or company. You cannot change that later.
Which account should I make?
An individual account is for a job seeker or someone posting their own listing. A company account is for a firm. You cannot change this later.
How do I make an individual account?
- Open registration and choose “Job seeker”.
- Add first name, last name, email and password. In Estonia we also ask for a personal ID code.
- Save. A confirmation email arrives. Open it and confirm the address.
Confirm the email, or the account will not work. A promo code goes on the same form. You can also sign in with Google if you see the button.
How do I make a company account?
- Open registration and choose “Employer”.
- Write the company name, registry number, email and password.
- Save and confirm the email. Without that you cannot publish a listing.
A new employer often starts cheaper, first month free. You see the exact amount before you pay.
No confirmation email. What now?
- Check spam and wait a couple of minutes.
- Try to log in. If the account is unconfirmed, you can resend the email.
- Check that the email was right. If nothing comes, write from the bottom of the page.
I forgot my password. How do I get in?
- Open Log in and press “Forgot password?”.
- Use the same email you registered with.
- Open the link in the email, set a new password and sign in.
Job search and CV
You can browse and apply for free. With Premium, companies that are hiring can see you. Without it they will not find you on the list.
Where do I look for a job?
Open Jobs. There are three lists at the top. They are not the same thing.
At the top you pick city, field, language and type of work. In search type a job, e.g. “cook”. You can read a listing without an account. To apply, log in and press Apply.
How do I make a CV and apply?
- Log in and open Create CV.
- Fill in contact, experience, education and skills. Save.
- Open a listing and press Apply. The same CV goes to the employer. You do not write a new text for every job.
Your applications are on My applications. You see if they looked, and you can open the chat.
Is this free for a job seeker?
Yes. Account, CV and Apply are free. No card.
For free you write to companies yourself. With Premium they write to you. If you do not pay each month, they will not find you on the list.
Your own listing
A CV is your details. “Looking for work” is a post so companies can find you. “I need help” is when you need someone to do a job.
What can I post?
The CV is under Create CV. The post is under Add listing. First it asks which one you want.
How do I post “I am looking for work”?
- Open the personal listing page and pick “I am looking for work”.
- Write a clear title, e.g. “Builder looking for work in Tartu”. Add a short text, category, city and country.
- On the next page pick when you are free and what type of work you want. To add a skill, type it and press return. If you have a CV, you can show a “View CV” button.
- Last page: phone if you want, and whether contacts show on the post. Then publish.
This post goes to Job seekers. With Premium you are at the front and companies see you. Without Premium they will not find you there. You still need a CV to press Apply on someone else’s job.
How do I post “I need help” so someone does the job?
- Same page, other card: “I need help”.
- Describe what you need, plus category, city and country.
- Next page: how soon you need it, and budget (a euro range or “ask for a quote”).
- Last page: phone if you want. Then publish.
Offers arrive in Messages. A post is usually paid, once or monthly. The homepage star is extra. Then people who come from the front page see you too.
Employer
Post a job. People come into Messages. From there you call and send a contract.
How does a company post a vacancy?
- Log in with the company account and open Post a job.
- Go page by page: job title, description, place, salary if you want, languages. You can add a picture or a PDF. You can go back.
- If the free trial is over, you pay before publish. You edit your listings on My listings.
How do I see applicants and write to them?
When someone applies, you get a notice. The chat opens in Messages. The CV is behind “View CV” in the same window. From Job seekers you can also write first. You see Premium people first.
On some listings the employer has to write first, before the applicant can reply. That is how that listing is set.
How do I edit or take down a listing?
Your listings are on My listings. There you fix the text, hide the post or put it back up. If the old one is just wrong, open it and fix it. You do not need a new listing for that.
What are teams and invitations?
On a company account you can invite people to a team (My teams). They see listings and can join a chat or a call if you gave them access. The invite goes to email. Your invites are on Invitations.
What are employees? And what is procurement?
When someone is hired and the contract is signed, they show on My employees. Payslips are there if your firm uses them. The worker sees the same thing on My work life.
Procurement is when you want several firms to send you a bid. This is not a normal job post. You start one on Create procurement.
Messages and Unite
The conversation stays here. From here you call, send a contract and add people.
How do messages work?
Messages is its own page. Chats on the left, the thread on the right.
Applying opens the chat by itself. You can also write from Job seekers. Files go under the paperclip. If they write in another language, turn on translate at the top.
Same header: phone, camera, calendar and “Send contract”. On a phone the chat goes full screen. The arrow takes you back to the list.
What is Unite and how do I add someone to a chat?
Unite is the “+ Add” button on Messages. No chat starts until the other person says yes.
- Press “+ Add”. Search a name or a company.
- Send the request. They accept or decline.
- If they accept, you can write and call.
Video and voice
The call runs in the browser. Before it starts you can check camera and sound. Several people can join. You can invite a guest with no account.
How does a call work?
- Open the chat. Phone is voice only, camera is video.
- Before the call check mic, camera and speaker. You see your own picture. Then press Join or Start.
- On the call you can mute, turn the camera off, flip it on a phone, share a screen on a computer and invite more people. The room holds more than two.
The other person sees you waiting, not as busy. Camera off: they see your name. Leave with the red button.
How do I book a call or invite a guest who has no account?
- Press the calendar in the chat, or “Book a call” by the list.
- Pick a time. They accept or decline. A confirmed meeting has “Join call”.
- Guest with no account: send an email invite. They open the link in the browser, allow the mic and wait until you join.
Do not send that link to strangers. Anyone with it can join the call.
The phone does not ring. Why?
On iPhone add Jobs United to the Home Screen (Share → Add to Home Screen), open it from there and allow notifications. Otherwise a locked phone will not ring. On Android allow notifications in the browser. If the page is open, a new message or call makes a sound.
Contracts and work life
The contract goes into the chat. You sign there. Copies are on My work life.
How is a contract sent and signed?
- Open the chat and press “Send contract”.
- Fill the fields and send. The other person sees a card in the thread.
- They read and sign. The company signs their side if needed. Status stays in that chat.
All contracts and payslips are on My work life if your company uses them.
Language and alerts
Language is top right. The bell is notices.
What languages does the site use?
Estonian, Finnish, English and Russian. You switch language in the top right (ET / FI / EN / RU). If a listing is in another language, turn on translate in Messages.
Where do notifications come from?
The bell at the top: someone applied, a contract, a confirmed call. The chat icon: unread messages. Turn sounds on in Messages (allow notifications) and Settings. On iPhone add the site to the Home Screen, or a locked phone will not ring.
What is the first page after I log in?
Where do I write if something is broken?
At the bottom of the page there is email and feedback. There is a support chat in the corner. Write which page you were on and what you did. Messages is only for the employer and the candidate. We do not reply from there.
