Recruiting firms

We welcome recruiting firms to advertise on Careers Center!

Getting started

    Note: You'll be billed based on your own membership status, regardless of your client's membership status. APPA membership is required to receive the member rate.

Eligibility

Recruiters and recruiting firms are defined as individuals or entities hired by nonprofit organizations—such as colleges, universities, schools, districts, museums, libraries, municipalities, government agencies, or healthcare facilities—to post facilities-related job openings.
