This guide explains how someone who has a job seeker account can switch their account to an employer account so they can post jobs and search the candidate database. It covers where to go, what happens when they convert, and what to do after.

Who this is for: Job seekers who want to become employers on the same career center, and support or implementation staff who need to explain or troubleshoot the process.

Quick answer

• Where: While signed in as a job seeker, go to Settings (or Account / Profile) and find the Account Type section. Click Convert Account next to Convert to Employer Account.
• What happens: The job seeker account is converted to an employer account in one step. The user is signed in as an employer and taken to complete their employer profile. Resume and profile become private; job applications and saved jobs are archived; they gain access to post jobs and search candidates.
• After: Complete the employer profile when prompted. To switch back to a job seeker account, contact the site administrator; staff can convert the account back.

Where to find the option

1. Sign in to the career center as a job seeker.
2. Open your Settings or Account area under the My Account, Profile menu.
3. Find the Account Type section.
4. You will see a short explanation and a Convert Account button. Click it to convert.

What happens when you convert

• You gain access to employer tools — You can post job opportunities and search the candidate database (if available).
• Your account information is reused — Your email, name, contact details, and address from your job seeker account are used to create the new employer account. You keep the same email and sign-in.
• You are signed in as an employer — Right after converting, you are logged in as an employer and are usually redirected to complete or edit your employer profile.

Conversion is immediate. There is no separate form to fill out for the conversion itself; clicking Convert Account performs the switch.
