For Recruiters:

Advertising Positions and Sharing Materials on EconJobMarket.org 

There are a number of platforms where recruiters can list their postings, and where candidates can search them. EJME recommends that recruiters and candidates use EconJobMarket.org, the central repository for job market materials endorsed by the European Economic Association. Econ Job Market Inc. is a U.S. 501(c)(3) charitable organization. It is one of the most consolidated of these platforms, developed by academic economists for the job market for economists. EconJobMarket.org handles search listings, the transmission of applications and letters of recommendation, and interview scheduling. Details on how to use EconJobMarket.org are below:

  • To establish a recruiter account, first register as a user at econjobmarket.org and then request the “recruiter” role. Recruiters new to the system can post their first job advertisement for free.
  • In the Ad display section, please tick "European Economic Association’s European Job Market of Economists website" for the job post to be listed on our EJME website listing.
  • Recruiters are strongly encouraged to accept applications, or at least letters of recommendation, via the EconJobMarket system. When creating a job posting, in the Collecting applications" section, there are options to collect all application materials, letters only, or all application materials through a different channel outside of EconJobMarket.org.
  • The application form that is received through EconJobMarket.org is entirely customizable (including questions and documents to be submitted). There are also templates for standard job searches (junior faculty search, senior faculty search, etc.).
  • Recruiters can easily search and view applications in the EconJobMarket.org system, as well as download spreadsheet files of the applicant data and complete application packets. You can also arrange to transfer application data to a separate review system, such as HiRE, Head Hunter, or your own internal personnel system.
  • EconJobMarket.org also helps you schedule your interviews. The interview scheduler allows you to specify interview slots for various specialty fields and select the candidates that you want to interview, and then it automatically emails the selected candidates and lets them pick interview slots within your constraints.
  • For all questions on econjobmarket.org (EJM), contact them directly here

Applying for Jobs 

There are a number of platforms where recruiters can list their postings, and where candidates can search them.

Please follow carefully the information and instructions for the job application on each job posting. Each institution will have its own distinct deadline for application and requests for information. Moreover, each institution will choose when to make their job announcement. The EEA, RES and SEA encourage institutions to post on EconJobMarket.org so do check this site regularly (and other sites where job postings are uploaded).

The EEA, RES and SEA are NOT involved in setting any job application deadline and do NOT offer information or advice on the job posting of any institution. Moreover, the EEA, RES and SEA have NO involvement in the scheduling of any interviews during the EJME.
