Can changes be made to paid job advertisements?

Paid advertisements can be booked via the softgarden Media Shop. Whether changes can be made to ads that have already been published depends on the specific job boards.

As a general rule:

On paid job boards, you cannot modify your ad at will, as the platforms have specific rules.


Minor changes (often free or permitted as a one-time update)

  • Spelling corrections

  • Additions to the scope of duties

  • Adjustments to the requirements profile (e.g., "English skills required")

  • Changes to the contact person or phone number

You can often make these changes yourself. However, some job boards allow this for free only once—fees may apply thereafter.


Major changes (requiring approval or incurring a fee)

  • Change of job title

  • Change of category (only possible within 24 hours of posting)

  • Significant content expansions that substantially alter the job description

As a rule, these changes must be approved by the job board. In some cases, a new ad is required, or a processing fee applies.


Inadmissible changes (new listing required)

  • Change of work location (e.g., Kiel → Munich)

  • New professional field or completely new job/job title (e.g., from chef or administrative clerk to executive)

These changes are not permitted within the existing listing. You must book a new listing for these cases.
