In the BrownEngage system, posting a job is referred to as “Creating a Need.” These are the jobs posted to the RICOMJOBS section that job seekers can respond to.
Creating Needs
- Go to My Agency > Needs.
- Click Add New Need.
- Complete the required fields (title, description, location, etc.).
- Set an optional application deadline.
- Click Create Need to finish.
Searching for a Job
If you are searching for jobs through RICOMJOBS, you do not need to create an account to browse opportunities.
- Simply visit BrownEngage Job Listings to search for current openings.
- In the new system, jobs may be listed as “Needs”— these are the same community job postings shared previously via RICOMJOBS.
- All postings are updated regularly, so you will only see open and active positions.
Why the Change?
- Up-to-date, accurate job listings.
- Editable postings with closing dates.
- Searchable and filterable listings for job seekers.
- The ability to track responses directly (optional).
By moving to BrownEngage, we hope to make this job-sharing network even more accessible and responsive to community needs.
