How do I create a company profile?

Before posting a job, you need a company profile on Himalayas. Here's how:

1. Go to Post a Job or Sign up as a recruiter
2. Create an account using your work email
3. Enter your company name — if your company already has a profile on Himalayas, you can claim it
4. Fill in your company details: description, logo, website, location, tech stack, and employee benefits
5. Save your profile

Your company profile is publicly visible and is your public face on Himalayas. Job seekers can browse your profile to learn about your company culture, tech stack, benefits, and open positions.

Tip: Complete your company profile thoroughly. Job seekers on Himalayas actively review company profiles before applying. Companies with detailed profiles — especially those showcasing benefits, tech stack, and team culture — receive more and higher-quality applications.

How do I post a job?

Once your company profile is set up:

1. Go to your Recruiter Dashboard
2. Navigate to your company's jobs section
3. Click "Post a new job"
4. Fill in the job details:
   • Job title: Use a clear, standard title (e.g., "Senior Software Engineer" not "Coding Ninja")
   • Employment type: Full-time, part-time, contract, etc.
   • Description: Include responsibilities, requirements, and what makes the role compelling
   • Salary range: Optional but recommended (listings with salary ranges get significantly more applications)
   • Location restrictions: Specify which countries/regions the role is open to, or mark as "Worldwide"
   • Timezone requirements: Specify required timezone overlap if applicable
   • Seniority level: Entry, mid-level, senior, lead, etc.
   • Skills: Tag relevant skills so your job appears in filtered searches
   • Application method: Link to your external application page, or use an application email
   • Screening questions: Optionally add questions candidates must answer when applying
5. Preview and publish

Your job goes through a brief review process (see below) before appearing on the platform.

What happens after I post a job?

After you submit a job listing, the following happens:

1. Review: The Himalayas team reviews your listing for quality and legitimacy.
2. Published: Once approved, your job appears on the Himalayas job board and is visible to all job seekers.
3. Notifications: Job seekers who have matching skills and preferences receive email alerts about your listing.
4. 30-day window: Your listing stays active for 30 days from the publication date.
5. Expiry: After 30 days, the listing is automatically removed. You can repost if the role is still open.

Why was my job post flagged or declined?

Job postings may be flagged during the review process for several reasons:

• New or unverifiable company: If your company is new to Himalayas and doesn't have a well-established web presence, the team may request verification
• Missing or unclear details: Job descriptions that are too vague, missing key information, or appear copy-pasted from templates may be flagged
• Suspicious content: Listings that resemble scams, MLM schemes, or unpaid work are declined
• Non-remote role: Himalayas is specifically for remote positions. Hybrid or in-office roles that require regular physical presence may be declined
• Inappropriate content: Discriminatory requirements or content that violates platform guidelines

How do I verify my company if my job was flagged?

If your job post is flagged and you're asked to verify your company, you can provide:

1. Your company website URL: A functioning website with information about your company
2. LinkedIn company page: An active LinkedIn presence with employee connections
3. Official company email: Using a company domain email (e.g., you@yourcompany.com) rather than a personal email (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
4. Other proof: Any public evidence that your company is a legitimate operating business

Email hi@himalayas.app with this information and reference your job posting. The team will review and process verification promptly.

Tip: Using a company domain email address when signing up (rather than a Gmail or personal email) significantly reduces the chance of your posting being flagged.

How do I optimize my job post for more applications?

Based on data from thousands of job postings on Himalayas, here are the factors that most impact application volume:

Include a salary range. Job listings with visible salary ranges receive significantly more applications. Even a broad range (e.g., "$80,000 – $120,000") is better than no salary information.

Use a clear, standard job title. Titles like "Senior Software Engineer" or "Product Marketing Manager" perform better than creative titles like "Marketing Guru" or "Code Wizard." Job seekers search using standard titles, and clear titles also help your listing appear in relevant searches.

Write a detailed description. Include the role's responsibilities, required skills, nice-to-have skills, what the team looks like, and why someone would want this role. The description is your pitch to candidates.

Specify timezone and location clearly. Remote workers care deeply about timezone requirements. If the role is open worldwide, say so. If there's a required timezone overlap (e.g., "must overlap with US Eastern timezone for at least 4 hours"), state it explicitly.

Tag relevant skills. Skills tags are how job seekers filter search results. Make sure you've tagged all relevant technologies, tools, and competencies.

Complete your company profile. Job seekers check company profiles before applying. A complete profile with benefits, tech stack, company description, and logo builds trust and increases applications.

How do pinned job posts work?

Pinned posts ($199 per listing) give your job premium placement:

• Your listing appears at the top of relevant search results
• Pinned jobs are visually highlighted so they stand out
• On average, pinned jobs receive up to 20x more applications than standard listings
• The pinned status lasts for the full 30-day listing period

To pin a job post, select the pinned option during the posting process or upgrade an existing listing from your recruiter dashboard.

Can I edit a job post after publishing?

Yes. You can edit your job listing at any time from your Recruiter Dashboard:

1. Go to your company's jobs section
2. Find the job you want to edit
3. Click "Edit"
4. Make your changes and save

Edits to title, description, requirements, and other details take effect immediately. Significant changes may trigger a brief re-review.

How do I manage my team on Himalayas?

You can invite team members to help manage your company's presence on Himalayas:

1. Go to your company's team management section in the Recruiter Dashboard
2. Enter the email address of the person you want to invite
3. They receive an email invitation to join your company's account
4. Once they accept, they can post jobs, manage listings, and view applications

This is useful for companies where multiple people handle hiring — HR managers, recruiters, and hiring managers can all access the same company account.

How do I change my company name or details?

You can edit most company details directly from your Recruiter Dashboard:

1. Go to your company's overview/profile section
2. Edit the fields you want to change (description, logo, website, tech stack, benefits, etc.)
3. Save your changes

For company name changes, email hi@himalayas.app with:

• Your current company name on Himalayas
• The correct company name
• Any other details that need updating (e.g., company URL)

The team will update it for you.

How do I search for candidates?

In addition to receiving applications on your job posts, you can proactively search for candidates:

1. Go to the Talent Directory
2. Use filters to narrow by skills, location, timezone, and seniority
3. Browse candidate profiles
4. Message candidates you're interested in directly through the platform

The talent directory includes 200,000+ job seekers who have opted to make their profiles public. Searching the talent directory is free for all employers.

My job expired but the position is still open. What do I do?

Job listings expire after 30 days. If the role is still open:

1. Go to your Recruiter Dashboard
2. Find the expired listing
3. Repost the job (you can reuse the same details)

Reposting creates a fresh 30-day listing. There is no limit to how many times you can repost a position.
