Posting guidelines

Short version: post a real job, state the pay, describe the kashrus requirements in your own words, and treat applicants fairly.

Draft pending review by counsel. Wording may change before launch.

What every listing must have

  • A real, currently open position at a named employer. No placeholders, resume harvesting, training-for-a-fee offers, or multi-level schemes.
  • Pay. A figure or a range and a unit. “Competitive” and “DOE” are not accepted. Several states require pay ranges in postings; stating pay also gets you more applicants.
  • A location (city and state), or “Travel / multiple locations” for roaming roles.
  • An accurate description of the work, schedule, and requirements. One listing per position; duplicate listings are removed.

Religious and observance requirements

KIA Jobs does not add any standard religious wording to listings. If the role requires a particular level of observance, knowledge or training, say so in your description, in your own words, and keep it tied to the kashrus responsibilities of the job. Examples of acceptable wording: “Shomer Shabbos required”, “must be familiar with bishul Yisroel and checking vegetables”, “semicha or KIA certification preferred”.

What is not allowed

  • Requirements or preferences based on sex, age, race, color, national origin, disability, marital status, pregnancy, or genetic information, or any other ground protected by federal, state or local law. Citizenship-only requirements are not allowed unless required by law for the role.
  • Roles that require applicants to pay a fee, buy equipment, or provide bank or card details to apply.
  • Contact details that are not the employer’s own, or descriptions copied from another employer.
  • Anything unrelated to Mashgiach, kosher supervision, rabbinic coordination or closely related work.

You are responsible for the legality of your own wording. The Institute provides the board, not legal advice. When in doubt, describe the work and the observance the job genuinely requires, and leave out anything about who the person is.

How moderation works

Listings publish immediately. Automated checks hide listings that look like spam or are incomplete; two reports from readers hide a listing automatically. Hidden listings are reviewed by a person at the Institute. Employers receive an email with the reason and a link to edit and resubmit. Repeated violations lead to removal of the employer account.
