Many recruiters post jobs weekly and busy with other tasks on a day to day basis.To cover that scenario we implemented Weekly Posting Limit.If you didn't post (or posted little) during last week, then you can post upto your weekly limit, which is 5 times larger than your daily limit.If you exhausted your weekly limit, then the next day you still would be able to use your daily posting limit.What posting limit do you see here? - please let me know. |
