Registrations
.jobs domain registrations can take up to 3-7 days in order to complete, depending on the time the Registry takes to verify the data and if no additional information is required, in that case Employ Media would contact the registrant directly.
Registration rules:
The domain registrations must be "companyname".jobs, where "companyjob" is:
1) The commercial name of the company (without including identifiers like "the", "of" or "LTD";
2) Name the company is usually known with;
3) Contains 1) and 2).
For example, the company called Virgin Media of America, LLC could apply for:
VirginMedia.jobs
Virgin-media.jobs
VirginAmerica.jobs
Virginmediaamerica.jobs
The domain name can't be listed in reserved lists from the ICANN, generic employ names (for example: Electricians.jobs, mechanics.jobs, ...) or industries (for example: manufactures.jobs, ...), geographic names (like countries, cities, postal codes, ...), offensive names or generic words.
.JOBS saves this lists of reserved names and checks the domain before the registration completes.
Policies
- Websites under .JOBS can only be used to publish information related with the company, like job offers, company philosophies, contact information, etc.
- No external job offers can be added.
- The registrant is responsible for the content of the domain.
- .JOBS checks periodically the correct usage of the domain, in case of detecting a bad use of the domain they can process the domain deletion.
- The registrant must meet the SHRM Code of Ethics
Verification process
All registrations are verified by the Registry, Employ Media. It's possible that during the verification process more official documentation is required to check that the registrant has rights of use over the name, but in the most cases it's sufficient to provide the company's URL, in any case, if Employ Media needs more information they'll contact you directly.
Normally, the .jobs registration takes about 3 days in case you don't need to send additional information.
Transfers
To complete .JOBS domain transfer, you'll need your current registrar to provide you the domain's AuthCode or EPP-Key to verify the ownership of the domain.
Transfers can take between 5 and 7 days to complete. Some registrars provide manual transfers allowing transfers to be completed on the same day, contact your current registrar to find out if they offer this service.

DNS modifications
DNS modification is immediate, please note they must propagate through the network, this process can take up to 6-12 hours to complete, until then the domain will still point to the previous DNS servers.
DNSSEC
We allow the usage of DNSSEC on .jobs domains. Your domain can take advantage of this additional security layer that DNS servers that are compatible with this technology can provide.
More information is available at: DNSSEC: What is it and how does it work.
Domain owner change
Beginning December 1st, 2016, any ownership changes of .JOBS domains requires both the current and new owner to accept any changes. Once the ownership change has been completed, the domain is locked and unable to be transferred for a 60-day period.
