1. What is 9to5s.com and how is it different from other job boards?

9to5s.com is a modern job board built exclusively for full-time, Monday–Friday jobs — no gigs, no weekend roles, just traditional workweek opportunities. Unlike general job sites that list all types of roles, we focus specifically on full-time weekday employment to help job seekers find stable careers and employers find reliable, long-term talent. Our platform is easy to use, mobile-friendly, and designed for both candidates and companies to connect quickly and efficiently.

2. What types of jobs can I find on 9to5s.com?

You’ll find a wide range of full-time, weekday job categories including Administrative Support, Customer Service, Healthcare, Education, Tech & Digital Services, Construction, Childcare, Retail, Finance, Legal, and more. Whether you’re looking for office-based roles, fieldwork, remote support, or skilled trades, our listings are curated for serious, long-term employment — not temporary gigs.

3. Do employers need to buy a package to post a job?

Employers must purchase one of the following packages before posting a job:

  • Basic ($10): 1 Job Post – 35 Days – Standard Placement

  • Professional ($25): 2 Job Posts – 35 Days –  Homepage Feature

  • Business ($50): 3 Job Posts – 35 Days –  Homepage Features + Social Boost
    Payments can be made securely using PayPal or Stripe, and all listings remain active for 35 days.

4. How long will my job post stay active?

Every job listing on 9to5s.com remains active for 35 days, giving your post extended visibility compared to the standard 30 days offered by most job boards. This allows more time for candidates to discover and apply, leading to better hiring results without extra cost.

5. Is it free for candidates to apply for jobs?

Yes, applying for jobs on 9to5s.com is 100% free for candidates. After registering with your email and creating a profile, you can upload your resume, search for jobs by category or location, receive job notifications, and apply directly — all at no cost.

6. How do dashboards work for employers and candidates?

Both employers and candidates receive their own dedicated dashboards after registration.

  • Employers can manage their company profile, purchase job packages, post and edit jobs, view applications, and chat with candidates.

  • Candidates can build and update their profiles, upload resumes, track job applications, receive personalized job notifications, and message employers who have received their applications.

7. How does the chat system between candidates and employers work?

Once a candidate applies to a job, a private messaging channel is automatically activated between the candidate and the employer within their dashboards. This feature makes it easy to follow up, ask questions, schedule interviews, and keep the hiring process moving — all in one place.
