Overview

What is .careers

The word careers means working paths, and it’s the word companies usually put on the jobs page of their sites, so job seekers understand it without explaining. .careers entered the internet’s root in 2013 as a new generic extension; it is run by Binky Moon, LLC and supports names in Arabic and DNSSEC signing.

It suits company hiring pages, recruitment offices, job-opportunity platforms and career guidance centers at universities. It helps most the company that wants a separate hiring address showing its openings: its name with .careers, beside its main site in .com or .sy.

We have a first-year offer, and renewal costs a little more, but it’s much more expensive than .com. Many people know it less well than .com, and some job seekers are wary of hiring links whose source they don’t know, so have your main site point to it.

Who it suits

For your field: is .careers the best fit?

Every field has an extension that says something about it. Here is what .careers says in each, and which extension completes it.

  • A company’s hiring page

    Excellent · The first choice

    Your company’s name with .careers is a separate hiring address that completes its site in .com.

    Register it with.careers.com

  • A recruitment office in Syria

    Good · A good fit with .sy

    Job seekers here trust .sy, and .careers says what you offer.

    Register it with.sy.careers

  • A job-opportunity platform

    Good · A good fit

    It says the site is for jobs, and .com.sy says it works here.

    Register it with.careers.com.sy

  • Career guidance

    Good · A good fit

    For those who help people choose their path it states the field, and .coach says you’re a guide.

    Register it with.careers.coach

  • Training before hiring

    Good · A good fit

    It says training is a road to work, and .academy says it’s teaching.

    Register it with.careers.academy

    Visitors expect jobs on offer while you offer yourself; .me or .name.sy is more honest.
