Introducing Bumps
Think of Bumps as a quick shot of energy for your job listings! Over time, newer job posts naturally push older ones down the search results. Bumping your ad overrides this by instantly giving your listing a massive burst of exposure, utilizing our proprietary algorithm to push it right back to the very top of our job feeds.
When you trigger a bump, your listing leaps back into prime real estate at the top of FastJobs' search results on both our website and mobile app, ensuring maximum visibility to fresh job seekers.
How to bump your job advertisement
Giving your ad a quick boost takes just a few clicks:
- Locate the active job listing you want to boost on your dashboard.
- Click on the [Bump this job] button.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I bump the same job advertisement multiple times in a row
To prevent spamming and ensure a balanced marketplace, the bump feature temporarily locks after a single use. If you try to bump it again immediately, a quick notification will let you know it's locked. Don't worry, though—the cooldown timer is only 2 minutes, after which you are free to boost it again!
- Is it possible to automate this so I don’t have to log in every time?
Absolutely! You don't have to manually click the button every day to keep your ads fresh.
