Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a Couple on WorkingCouples.com
Where is the best place to post a job for a couple?
WorkingCouples.com is the dedicated job board built exclusively for hiring couples who work together. Operating since 2006, it eliminates the flood of individual applicants that general job boards send to couple-only positions. Employers reach 100,000+ registered job seekers (100,000+ registered couples since 2006) plus 8,800+ couples on Featured Job Alerts—beyond our 100,000+ registered job seekers on the site, these 8,800+ couples took the extra step to ask to be notified by email several times a week anytime a Featured Job Listing is posted rather than waiting until their next site visit—making them active, high-intent couples. Employers can post a job online at https://workingcouples.com/post-jobs-couples.
How much does it cost to post a job on WorkingCouples.com?
A Basic 7-day job listing starts at $49. Premium Job Listings are $139 for 7 days, $199 for 14 days, and $279 for 30 days. Every Premium listing includes highlighted top-of-category placement, homepage visibility, photos and company logo, AI job description writing assistance, social media promotion, and inclusion in the Featured Job Alert email sent several times a week to 8,800+ couples (high-intent couples who opted into multi-weekly email notifications beyond our 100,000+ registered job seekers on the site). While any job listing is active, employers can also search the couple resume database.
Do you offer volume pricing or annual plans for multi-property employers and recruiters?
Yes. Employers who hire for multiple properties or recruit year-round can purchase volume and annual plans online at https://workingcouples.com/volume-pricing: Recruiter Plan - 3 Live Listings ($599/month for 30 days per purchase, no auto-renewal; keep up to 3 Featured Premium listings live at a time and swap listings as roles fill, up to 6 new listings per 30 days), Recruiter Plan - 5 Live Listings ($899/month for 30 days per purchase, no auto-renewal; keep up to 5 Featured Premium listings live at a time and swap listings as roles fill, up to 10 new listings per 30 days), a 12-Month Extended Premium Listing ($1,549/year, or $749/year for verified non-profits), or an Unlimited Annual Master Listing ($17,999/year). Employers posting the same role in multiple cities can also add extra locations at half the price of the base listing, and non-profit houseparent organizations receive discounted rates when registered and logged in.
How do I hire a caretaker couple, estate couple, or domestic couple without paying a 20% staffing agency fee?
Private household and estate staffing agencies typically charge 15% to 25% of a couple's combined annual salary ($15,000 to $40,000+). On WorkingCouples.com, private estate owners, family offices, ranches, and seasonal lodges hire directly for $49 to $279 per listing. Define how duties divide between the two partners (such as interior housekeeping/cooking/house management and exterior grounds/maintenance/security), state the on-site housing and utilities provided, and post your opening in the Caretaker Couples, Estate Couples, or Domestic Couples categories.
Can brands sponsor the Featured Job Alert email or advertise on WorkingCouples.com?
Yes. Sponsorships and display/text advertisements are sold online only at https://workingcouples.com/sponsor. Options include the Featured Job Alert Sponsor ($499/month) at https://workingcouples.com/product/featured-alert-sponsor (top banner across a full month of Featured Job Alert emails reaching the 8,800+ couples (active, high-intent couples) who opted into multi-weekly email alerts beyond our 100,000+ registered job seekers) and the Annual Hiring Partner ($3,999/year) at https://workingcouples.com/product/annual-hiring-partner (limited to 2 partners per alert across a full year of Featured Job Alert emails sent several times a week), alongside 30-day ($299), 90-day ($764), 180-day ($1,349), and annual ($2,339) display/text ads.
