Ask Us Anything
-
As a partner employer, can I post a free job?Yes. Partner employers wishing to recruit job seekers using Motiff Recruiting can do so free of charge. Job and internship postings are reviewed and approved/rejected based upon the information contained in the postings. Excessive postings and misleading postings are not allowed. Postings that do not correspond to a company's actual interviewing, hiring and compensation practices, or postings that misrepresent the identity and affiliation of the employer, are not allowed. We have the right to deny job postings for not following the guidelines and due to the position not being the right fit for our career community. The Partner Employer - Job Description Form should be used by all outside employers to submit part-time, full-time or seasonal employment opportunities for job seekers. Go to the Partner Employer - Job Description Form to begin posting your job!
-
What type of jobs can I post?All jobs posted must be career-related and/or professionally oriented. Please note we accept contract, temporary and seasonal positions, but only if they are professionally oriented. Jobs posted must be for one specific opening, not several openings combined into one posting. All posting must be for the purpose of the listed employer (not for a personal or other 3rd party organization). Recruiters must agree to our nondiscrimination and equal opportunity policy.
-
Where will our resumes be sent to?Employers must use an email address that is connected to their business. Job postings with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. email addresses will be denied. Email addresses must include the company name as well as the recruiter's name. Exceptions allowed for human resources or recruiting team email addresses.
-
What should be listed in the job description?Employers must list a minimum of five (5) job duties, responsibilities or tasks. Job postings that fail to list a job description or list very few details will be denied. This information is important in providing candidates with enough information to decide whether or not to apply for the position.
-
Do I need to specify a location?Employers listing jobs that require job seekers to work in private or personal residences, apartments, condos, etc. will not be approved. (Examples: caregiver, nanny, in-home tutor, and startup company positions that place job seekers in residential homes). Virtual positions will be allowed on a case-by-case basis but job seekers may not visit or work in a personal or private home.
-
How long does it take to fill out an application online?As quickly as five minutes. It can take longer depending on how much of the optional application information a candidate decides to provide.
-
Do I have to fill out an application?Anyone who wants to be considered for a position is required to create an application that includes certain information. Any required information is denoted with an asterisk (*). However, the more information you provide, the easier it will be to effectively evaluate your skills, experiences and qualifications.
-
Can I apply directly with the hiring department?No. Human Resources is the central intake point for all open positions. Only those applicants applying via the online job site will be considered.
-
What information should I include on my application?Your application should fully describe all of your education, training and work experience. Ensure that all required sections of the application are completed. It is very important that you provide detailed information about your qualifications and accomplishments so we can best evaluate your application. To further describe your past and current job duties and/or experience, you should attach a cover letter and resume.
-
I missed the job closing date - can I still apply?Once the job closing date has passed no applications will be forwarded to the hiring manager and selection committee. Please continue to visit the applicant site and apply for new jobs as they become available.
-
If a job was posted a few months ago and remains on the site, is it really still open?If a job is listed on our website, it is still open. Be aware that some jobs take longer to fill than others.
-
When will I discuss compensation for a role?We recognize the unique, impactful work our employees do and aim to offer competitive compensation. Your recruiter and/or hiring manager will discuss compensation with you in the interview process.
-
How should I prepare for my virtual interview?Come prepared with a fully charged computer and any questions you may want to ask during the interview. Find a quiet space with no distractions. Most importantly, relax and be yourself. We're currently using Zoho Meeting or Zoom to host interviews. Your recruiter and/or hiring manager will provide you with the meeting details.
-
What should I do if I haven't heard back from an application?Due to the volume of applicants that we receive for our positions, we appreciate your patience while our recruiters review your background. You will be contacted if there is a fundamental match with an active open position. If you haven't been contacted within 48 hours and you feel strongly about your candidacy and ability to meet the requirements outlined, call us at 205-392-8261 option 4.
-
Can we meet in person?It is normally not required to meet in person as part of our recruiting process. We often utilize phone and video interviewing as needed for the search.
-
How will the employer contact me?They may contact you through email directly through the web site, or they contact you via phone or regular mail using the contact information you have provided in your application.
-
How can I contact employers?The employers on our site have asked us not to give out their contact information. To contact an employer, we suggest using your local directory, going directly to the employer's website or using an Internet search engine to find contact information for the location you applied to. Most of our employers list their address on our website, so you can use that information in your search. Following up on your application is an important part of your job search.

What are some tips when preparing for a job interview?Remember the interview begins long before the actual, spoken interview takes place. You are being evaluated with every contact (resume, cover letter, email, phone call, etc.) Please ensure you have a reliable method of leaving messages for potential employers and ensure your voicemail has a professional sounding message Many employers will give you a job description prior to the interview. This will give you another chance to interact with the person who will be interviewing you and give you some meaningful information about the expectations of the position Show you have prepared for the interview - visit the library ahead of time, go to their website, read their annual report, etc. Dress professionally Expect situational questions and prepare for them ahead of time Prepare any questions you may have about the position The interviewer is aware you are likely to be nervous; they do take this into consideration If more than one person is interviewing you, remember to address everyone who is interviewing you
