Job Portals & Employment Platforms

Indeed describes pricing arrangements tied to different actions, including a job-view click or a click that starts an application, depending on the arrangement. Neither action establishes a hire. Employer campaigns need their own definitions for views, application starts, completed applications and hires rather than calling every billable interaction a successful placement.

LinkedIn says the employer's settings determine whether a job shows Easy Apply or Apply. Its Apply button can route a candidate to a company website or another job board to continue. An outbound application click is therefore not proof that an external application was completed; the destination changes what the platform can observe.

Upwork's proposal instructions describe using Connects to submit a proposal to a project. This documents an application action, not an awarded contract or collected work revenue. For acquisition analysis, proposal submission needs a separate stage from client agreement, work delivery and payment; proposal activity alone cannot establish those later outcomes.

Handshake distinguishes pending, approved, declined and saved posting states. Visibility depends on approval and the posting's open dates; a saved posting has not been posted. Employer marketing should separate creation from approved availability at a school. A created record is not evidence that students can already see it.
