Hiring Plans:
What if I don’t use all of my job slots or candidate views?
Nexxt hiring plans are designed to provide the tools you need to find and hire great people with the flexibility to vary the number of jobs and searches each month. Some months you may use all of your slots and candidate views, while other months you won’t. Even if you don’t use all of your allotted products, it doesn’t mean you’re overpaying, because the plans were priced assuming that most companies will not always have the maximum number of jobs to fill.
If you find that you consistently have unused slots and views, you can decide to downgrade to a lower tier plan. The Talent Pro plan only has one job slot, for those companies that only have occasional hiring needs.
How I can pay for my plan?
Our monthly hiring plans are only available for purchase online via credit card. This applies to the Talent Pro, Recruiter, Pro and Premium plans. Annual plans may be paid through an invoice, as well as purchased online.
What if I need to change my credit card information?
You can change your credit card information at any time on your account management page. To access account management, sign in to your account and hover over the Account icon in the left-hand navigation. The first option will be Manage Account. Then, go to the Payment Information section and click the Update Payment Method button. You can then provide your updated billing information, which will be used for your monthly or annual subscription renewal billings going forward.
When will you bill me?
In most cases, monthly plans renew on the same day each month. If you make your initial purchase on the 29th, 30th or 31st of the month, you will be billed on the first of the following month. For instance, if you purchased your subscription on October 31, you would be billed for your next month on December 1, January 1, and so on. The charge will be automatically applied to the credit card you provided.
If you choose to purchase an annual plan, you will be billed for one full year (12 months) at the time of purchase. Your plan will renew the following year on the same date.
Can I include additional users on my account?
Depending on the plan selected, the maximum number of users on your account can range from one to up to 25 users. For more information on additional users, click here.
Can I change my plan?
Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time by calling (866) 694-5627. The change will take effect at the end of the current billing period – 1 month for monthly plans and 1 year for annual plans. You will be billed for the cost of your new plan beginning with the next billing cycle.
Is there any contract involved?
There’s no contract to sign, but you are required to read and accept our Terms and Conditions during the checkout process.
What is your cancellation policy?
You can cancel your subscription at any time on your account management page. To access account management, sign in to your account and hover over the Account icon in the left-hand navigation.

Your cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period – 1 month for monthly plans and 1 year for annual plans – and no further charges will be applied to your card.
What happens to my products when I cancel my plan?
If you choose to cancel your plan, your job postings and candidate views will be available until the end of your billing cycle. Once you reach the end of your billing cycle, your job postings will not be visible to candidates and you will no longer have access to view full candidate portfolios. After your cancellation takes effect, you will still be able to view your job details, applicants and historical performance reporting.

What if I don't get any candidates?
We want to see every job get great candidate engagement. If yours isn’t, there are things you can do to drive more interest.

Provide a company logo – included at all plan tiers – to call attention to your postings and build brand awareness.
You can also contact us and get additional assistance.
Is my satisfaction guaranteed?
Yes. If your experience isn’t meeting your expectations, we want to help. Contact us to speak with one of our recruitment media experts, who can offer suggestions to improve your job performance or candidate search results. And of course, you can cancel your plan at any time.
Job Postings and Slots:
What is the difference between a job posting and a job slot?
A job posting is a recruitment ad that is set up to promote just one position. While you can edit certain details of the job details and description within an existing posting, the job title and location cannot be changed once the posting is created. To promote a new job you need create a new job posting.
A job slot is a flexible posting solution that allows you to change the position being advertised at any time. Rather than purchasing a new job posting when you have a new position to fill, you can promote a new job within the same slot, by deactivating your current job and creating a new job using the job posting form. Job slots also give you the flexibility to change the job title, location and description of an existing posting as much as you like. One or more job slots are included in all Nexxt hiring plans, giving you ongoing ability to promote your open position(s).
How do I post a new position in a job slot once my original position has been filled?
If you would like to change the job being promoted in your job slot, first you will need to click View My Jobs from your Home Page and deactivate your original job by clicking on the 3 dots and selecting the Deactivate Job option. Once your original job is inactive, you can activate a new job in that slot. To post your new position, click Post New Job on your Home Page and enter the criteria for your job.
How do I edit my job details?
To edit any of your job postings, sign in to your account and click on View My Jobs from your Home Page. Then, click on the 3 dots and select the Edit Job option from the job you would like to edit. This will bring you to the job posting form to edit your posting. Once you are finished editing, click Save and Preview. You will then be brought to the Review your job post page. If no additional edits are needed, no additional action is needed and your job has been saved with the changes.
Can I edit all of the fields in my job posting?
As long as you are using a job slot to post your job, you can change all of your job details, including the job title and location.
Standard job postings do not allow you to you change the title or location of your job posting once you have posted your job. Please contact hiringsolutions@nexxt.com for more information regarding this policy.
How long does it take for jobs to become live on the site?

Will my email address and name be visible to applicants when they are viewing my posting?
Applicants applying to your position are not able to see your email address, name or any of the contact information associated with your account or job posting. Applicants simply click a button to apply online, and we pass their information directly to you via email if you have opted to receive applicants via email.

Yes, any changes made to your company logo and description from the job posting form, hiring event form, or Career Site will impact all active jobs and hiring events that include that information.
If I edit or delete my company logo and description on the Company Information page, will the changes be reflected in my jobs and events that are currently posted?
If you delete your company logo and/or description, they will be deleted from all active job postings and events. If you add or edit your company logo and/or description, you will have the option to apply your changes to all active jobs and events.
Candidate Search:
Why is some candidate information hidden from view?
Member information is hidden from view because you are viewing the candidate in preview mode. This could occur for two reasons:
What constitutes a candidate view?
A candidate view is deducted each time you view a full portfolio that you have not viewed before. If you view full portfolio information for the same member account more than once, only one candidate view will ever be deducted.
If you view a candidate in preview mode (where some information is hidden), a candidate view is not deducted unless you click the “View Full Portfolio” button.
If I save a candidate, how long will it be saved?
Once you save a candidate, it will not be removed from your saved candidates page unless that member deactivates their account.
There is also a recently viewed candidates page, where you can find candidates that you have viewed recently but did not save. This will display the last 100 candidates that were viewed.
How can I receive emails notifying me when new candidates who meet my needs join the network?
There are two ways to do this. You can set up an email alert when searching our candidate database, posting a job, or both.
To create an alert when searching the database, click the “Save this Search” button at the top of the page.
To create an alert while posting a job, enter your job description and the keywords you believe potential candidates will use to find jobs like yours in the job posting form. Then make sure you check the box to set up a Job Match Alert at the bottom of the page.
To delete either of these types of alerts, You can view all of your alerts, no matter how they were created, on the Saved Searches and Alerts page under the Talent icon on your Home Page. There you can see your alert criteria, view recent matches and delete alerts by clicking the 3 dots and selecting “Delete Search”.
On the candidate search page, what is the significance of the Options link at the bottom?
The Options tab is where you can save your search preferences. The preferences you set will be saved and used in future searches until you change them or clear your cookies.
What is the reference location on the Options page? How is it used?
The reference location is the location we use to calculate the distance between you and the people in your search results. While it will auto populate with the location information specified on your Contact Information form, you may change it to better suit your needs. This can be done on a search by search basis, or you can set it once and use it for future searches.
How does the Keyword Builder work?
The keyword builder is best used for complex searches or if you need help constructing a Boolean search. With this tool, you can indicate how you would like your keywords to be used. You can request that all of your keywords be found in your search results, any of the words or the exact phrase. You can also choose whether you would like keywords included or not included and where you would like to find them in the candidate portfolios.
Do you support Boolean searching?
Yes we do. You may conduct a Boolean search by inputting keywords into the Who/What box. If you do not know how to run a Boolean search, we suggest you use the advanced search tool to assist you.
Hiring Events:
What is the main difference between the Premium and Enterprise plans in regard to Hiring Events?

How do I access my event registrants?
There are three areas within your account where you can locate your event registrants. The first area is "My Event Registrants" on your home page. This provides an overview of new registrants and total registrants and a button to view all your registrants. The second area is "Registrants" under the Events icon. From this page, you can view all registrants or view registrants for a particular hiring event. The third area is under "Events"; if there are registrants for your event, the count of registrants will be hyperlinked under the Registrations column.
What registrant information will I be able to access?
Nexxt provides the following registrant information: Name, Email Address, Phone Number, Event Attending, Date Attending, Registration Date, and Status.
Who will receive the registration email notification when there are new registrants? And how often?
When a hiring event is created, on the form there is a field to select an "Event Manager". The person that is selected as the "Event Manager" will be the designated individual to receive the new registrant email notification. The new registrant email will be sent once a day (Monday through Friday) only when there are new registrations to share. If the same individual is listed as the "Event Manager" for multiple hiring events, the "Event Manager" will receive one notification email per event.
What happens to my event and registrants once my event is complete?
Your registration page for your event will be live up to 30 days after your hiring event ends, with a message that your event is no longer active and the registration process is closed. Your event will be found under the "Inactive" status in your account. Even though your event has ended, you will continue to be able to access all registrants for your hiring event.
What type of email notifications will registrants receive?
A hiring event registrant will receive three automated emails. The first email will be a confirmation message. This email is delivered immediately after the person registers for your event. The second email is a reminder message that will be sent three days prior to the event. And the final email is another reminder message that is sent the morning of the event.
