Vacancy Information Policy
Pressjobs.co.za publishes information about job opportunities in South Africa.
Our aim is to make vacancy information easier to understand while being clear about where the information comes from and what readers should verify.
Where Vacancy Information Comes From
Job information published on Pressjobs may come from:
- Employer vacancy advertisements
- Official company career pages
- Government recruitment notices
- Public recruitment platforms
- Information supplied for publication
- Other reliable employment sources
We aim to identify the source of important vacancy information where appropriate.
Vacancy Information Can Change
Job advertisements can change after they are published.
An employer may change:
- The closing date
- Salary
- Qualifications
- Experience requirements
- Job responsibilities
- Location
- Application method
- Vacancy status
Because of this, information on Pressjobs should not be treated as a permanent record of an employer’s recruitment requirements.
Readers should verify the latest information with the employer before applying.
Vacancy Status
A vacancy published on Pressjobs may not remain available indefinitely.
If we become aware that a position has closed, we may:
- Mark the vacancy as closed
- Update the article
- Remove outdated application information
- Remove the vacancy from active listings
- Keep the article available as reference information
An older article should not be interpreted as confirmation that the position is still accepting applications.
Salary Information
Salary information is presented carefully.
Advertised salary
If the employer provides a salary, we identify it as the advertised salary.
Salary not disclosed
If the employer does not provide salary information, we may state:
Salary: Not disclosed
Estimated salary
In some cases, Pressjobs may provide an independent salary estimate for general information.
An estimated salary is clearly identified as an estimate.
It is not a guaranteed salary and should not be presented as an employer’s confirmed offer.
Job Requirements
We aim to present the requirements stated in the vacancy information as accurately as possible.
Requirements may include:
- Qualifications
- Work experience
- Skills
- Licences
- Professional registrations
- Language requirements
- Location requirements
- Other employment conditions
Readers should compare their own qualifications and experience with the requirements provided by the employer.
Pressjobs does not decide whether a candidate qualifies for a position.
The employer makes the final decision.
Application Information
Application instructions are based on the information available in the relevant vacancy.
Depending on the position, an application may require:
- An online application
- A CV
- Supporting documents
- An email application
- Hand delivery
- Registration on an official recruitment platform
Readers should follow the employer’s stated application process.
Pressjobs does not guarantee that an application will be received, reviewed or acknowledged by the employer.
Official Application Channels
Where possible, Pressjobs aims to direct readers toward official employer recruitment channels.
Before submitting personal information, candidates should check that the website, email address or recruitment channel is legitimate.
Be cautious if someone requests money in exchange for employment or asks for unnecessary sensitive information.
Pressjobs does not guarantee the authenticity of third party recruitment websites or individuals.
Employer Relationship
Pressjobs.co.za is an independent employment information platform.
Unless clearly stated otherwise, Pressjobs is not the employer and does not represent the recruitment department of the organisation mentioned in an article.
The publication of a vacancy does not mean that Pressjobs has a partnership, sponsorship or employment relationship with the organisation.
No Employment Guarantee
A vacancy published on Pressjobs does not guarantee:
- An interview
- A job offer
- Employment
- A response from the employer
- A particular salary
Hiring decisions are made by the relevant employer.
Closing Dates
Where an employer provides a closing date, Pressjobs may include it in the article.
However, closing dates can change.
Some employers may close applications earlier than the advertised date or extend the recruitment period.
Readers should check the latest official information before submitting an application.
If no closing date is available, we will not create one.
Job Locations
We aim to provide the location stated in the vacancy information.
A position may involve:
- A specific branch
- A distribution centre
- A regional office
- Multiple locations
- Remote work
- Hybrid work
Readers should verify the actual work location and any relocation requirements with the employer.
Accuracy and Updates
We aim to keep vacancy information accurate and relevant.
When reliable information changes, we may update the article.
Updates can include:
- Correcting errors
- Updating requirements
- Updating salary information
- Updating application instructions
- Adding a closing date
- Marking a vacancy as closed
We do not guarantee that every change made by an employer will immediately appear on Pressjobs.
Corrections
If you notice incorrect information in a vacancy article, please contact Pressjobs.
Where the information can be verified, we may correct or update the article.
This helps us maintain accurate employment information for readers.
Personal Information
Candidates should carefully consider where they submit personal information.
A legitimate job application may require a CV and other documents, but candidates should be cautious about requests for unnecessary sensitive information.
Pressjobs does not require readers to publish personal information in comments or other public areas of the website.
No Payment for Employment
Readers should be cautious about anyone requesting payment in exchange for a job, interview or guaranteed employment.
Pressjobs does not guarantee employment in exchange for payment.
Candidates should verify recruitment communications with the relevant employer where there is uncertainty.
Editorial Approach
Pressjobs aims to provide useful information rather than simply reproduce vacancy advertisements.
Articles may explain:
- What the position involves
- Who may meet the requirements
- What skills are relevant
- What the salary information means
- What candidates should consider
- How to prepare a CV
- How the application process works
We aim to use clear and factual language.
We avoid misleading claims such as guaranteed employment or unsupported salary promises.
Expired Vacancies
When a vacancy is known to have closed, we may update the article to indicate that applications are no longer being accepted.
Some expired vacancy articles may remain available because they contain useful information about:
- Job responsibilities
- Qualifications
- Career paths
- Salary information
- Employer recruitment requirements
An expired article should not be interpreted as an active vacancy.

Encourage readers to verify important details with employers.
The final decision to apply for a position, provide personal information or accept employment remains with the individual reader.
