Job posting programs are an integral part of the employment process for many organizations. Effective posting methods can include bulletin boards to which job notices are posted as well as electronic and intranet posting systems. Regardless of the method, the purpose is to notify employees of available positions so that qualified employees may apply for open positions. Generally, job posting is not required by law, but it is a great way to demonstrate the employer's commitment to fair employment practices and a desire to see employees advance within the organization.
