Hiring the right people is critical to the success of any organization. Corporate recruiting teams are well aware of this fact and are always looking for efficient but effective ways to attract the best candidates to their online Want Ads. Organizations are finding out that .jobs helps to do just that by providing them with a clear, easy-to-advertise, straightforward URL that pulls job seekers to their recruitment web site.
Companies large and small are not only adopting .jobs, but actively using it to communicate their on-line job opportunities. See how both Merck (www.merck.jobs) and American Family Insurance (www.amfam.jobs) are using .jobs to communicate their career opportunities.
"Merck is a global pharmaceutical and chemical company with 177 companies in 56 countries. We decided to register merck.jobs for several reasons. As a general policy we try to register our name and trademark MERCK in a large number of countries. For the internet we decided to register merck.TLD wherever appropriate. But each company had their own system for recruiting people. Prior to the introduction of the .jobs domain we decided to establish a worldwide job portal offering jobs in the different companies. Now, www.merck.jobs is the perfect domain name to host the worldwide job portal of Merck."

.JOBS Domain Name FAQ's
- What is .jobs?
- .jobs is an Internet Top Level Domain or TLD. Other commonly known TLD's include .com, .net, .org, .edu and .gov. TLD's help people navigate to particular Internet destinations. For example, if a job seeker is looking for jobs at Walgreens, Inc., he or she would simply navigate straight to www.walgreens.jobs. The .jobs TLD enables www.walgreens.jobs to exist on the Internet.
- Why .jobs?
- Simple answer: Target Marketing. Placing your company name in front of .jobs creates a web address that is a direct route to your company's Internet jobs content. For example, Merck retains its company brand when advertising www.merck.jobs in recruitment ads, while at the same time directing job seekers straight to what they want - information on Merck's jobs.

- What .jobs domains can I get?
- Right now .jobs registrations are limited to your company name, or a name by which your company is commonly known. www.yourcompanyname.jobs For example, Talbots, Inc. can register www.talbots.jobs. You can add to your name, such as yourcompanynorthamerica.jobs or yourcompanyaccounting.jobs, just so long as your company name is in the domain.
- Can I post third party jobs at my .jobs website?
- At this time our usage rules do not allow you to post third party jobs at your .jobs website. Our usage rules are part of the registration agreement.
- How else is .jobs different?
- .jobs is different from .com. We validate that each and every company which requests a .jobs is who they say they are, or the request is denied. It's a more labor-intensive, expensive way of doing things, but we feel strongly that it adds to the value of having a .jobs domain.
