Suppose the advertiser is looking for more than one person belonging to the same position and job description. In that case, the advertiser can post one job advert for that position on World Architecture Jobs, specifying the number of vacancies.

Job ads must be made according to the job ad posting rules specified by the World Architecture Community (WAC) on the website. Job ads are published at the World Architecture Community's discretion, and the World Architecture Community reserves the right to reject the job ad posting.
