Why Try a Poached Premium Post

When you need to staff up fast, time is everything. A Premium job on Poached helps you get seen sooner, screen smarter, and move candidates to interviews without leaving the platform—so you can make a confident hire with fewer steps.

What’s in a Standard Job on Poached

  • Reach hospitality pros on Poached.com and the Poached App.
  • Post quickly and manage applicants in one place.
  • Request and schedule phone, in‑person, or Working Interviews (paid trial shifts).
  • Build your Career Page when you have a live job to attract candidates year‑round.
  • SmartSort to organize your candidates by what you value most – pick a top candidate and the rest will be sorted by how well they match that person’s resume.

Premium = Standard plus these upgrades:

Premium placement on Poached and the Poached App 

Standard jobs appear for 30 days but new jobs naturally push older ones down the list. Premium keeps you higher in key listings longer, acting like a boosted job so your role shows up in more places, to more of the right candidates, sooner. The result: fresh visibility throughout your posting window and a faster flow of qualified applicants – especially in competitive markets.

Filter your candidates with custom assessment questions 

Assessment questions make early screening easy. Add a few must‑haves – like schedule fit, certifications, or years of experience – right to your posts application flow.. They’re simple to set up, reusable across roles, and instantly highlight best‑fit applicants so you can skip the back‑and‑forth and get to interviews faster. Use them to reduce noise, align expectations, and keep your candidate pipeline clean from day one. NOBODY wants dirty candidate pipes… nobody.

View job post metrics for valuable insights 

See what’s working at a glance. Essential metrics: impressions, click‑through rate, and application rate, all show how your post performs so you can compare roles and make quick edits for more results. You’ll also see the lift when you add a Boost, an optional add-on that expands distribution to reach more candidates, (Premium jobs that get boosted do even more than a standard boosted job). Boosts are just $25 a piece and help you extend exposure across multiple platforms. 

Request and schedule real‑time video interviews 

Speed up your shortlist with quick video screenings – great before inviting candidates onsite, and especially useful for entry‑level roles where you want to move fast. Book and run real‑time video interviews from your Poached workflow to confirm basics, gauge communication, and make a go/no‑go call in minutes. Less scheduling ping‑pong. Faster decisions. Quicker onboarding and coverage.

Feature‑to‑benefit quick map

  • Premium placement → more visibility, longer → more qualified applicants sooner
  • Custom assessment questions → cleaner pipeline → less screening time.
  • Job metrics → clear insight → smarter tweaks and better results.
  • Real‑time video interviews → instant connection → faster decisions.

Let’s Talk Price

All of these features come with a premium post, which is just a normal job post price ($65 in most places) plus $10. All that, for $10 extra bucks! And yes, live jobs can be upgraded to premium even after they are published.

This year’s been tough. Hiring doesn’t have to be. Give your restaurant the team it deserves, and get your time back in the process. Post with Poached Premium and turn more views into great interviews, faster.

Remember: Poached is the place to find hospitality professionals – built by and for this industry. When you’re ready to hire with confidence and speed, choose Poached and get back to running your business!
