How job offers work on InkMap

• What a job offer is

  A job offer is a listing for one position. The studio sets the job type, a description, an optional start date, and how the role is paid — a salary for most roles, or an artist compensation arrangement (a revenue split or chair rental) for artist positions. The offer is tied to the studio's venue, so it shows a real address you can open on the Map.

  A job offer goes live the moment it's posted and stays up until the studio takes it down — there's no closing date and nothing expires on its own.

• If you want to browse and apply

  Browsing is open to everyone. You find positions in the Job Offers section of the News tab, filter them by job type, location, and date, and tap one to read the full details.

  Applying is for individual accounts — collectors and practitioners. Studio and convention accounts can post offers but can't apply to them. You can only apply once per offer. See Finding and applying for jobs.

• If you want to post (studios and conventions)

  Posting is limited to studios and conventions, and there are two requirements: your profile must have a venue address, and the Events & Job Board subscription must be active. See Premium for the subscription, and Posting a job offer for the form.

• Applications are always private

  No one can see who applied to an offer except the studio that posted it. The list of applicants lives in an owner-only view on the studio's own profile. On the applicant's side, the applications they've sent sit in a private section of their own profile that only they can see. There is no public count of applicants on a listing.

• The stages an application moves through

  Once someone applies, their application starts as Pending. The studio works through each applicant and moves them along: Reviewed, then an Interview (proposed, then scheduled once the applicant picks a time), and finally Hired or Rejected. Both sides can see the current stage — the studio from its applicants list, the applicant from their own applications list. See Reviewing applicants and hiring for the studio side and Tracking your applications for the applicant side.

• How interviews fit in

  When a studio wants to interview an applicant, it proposes one or more time slots and the interview type — in person or remote. The applicant gets notified and can accept a slot, ask for different dates, or decline. Once they accept, the time is confirmed for both sides, a confirmation lands in their chat, and both get reminders before it starts.

Frequently asked questions

I'm a studio — can I apply to another studio's job offer?

No. Studio and convention accounts post offers; they can't apply. Applying is for individual accounts.

Can I withdraw an application after I send it?

There's no withdraw button. Once you apply, the application stays with the studio until they act on it or take the offer down.

Will other applicants see that I applied?

No. Applications are private — only the studio that posted the offer can see who applied.
