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. 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.

• How the studio sets the pay

  When the studio posts an offer it chooses one way the role is paid:

  • Salary — a fixed wage with a period (per hour, day, or month) and a currency.
  • Revenue split — the artist works on a percentage; the studio sets the percentage it keeps.
  • Chair rental — the artist rents a station for a flat daily, weekly, or monthly rate.

  The studio picks whichever fits the role — any pay type can be used for any job type. The pay can also be left blank, in which case the listing simply says compensation will be discussed.

• 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 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)

  Posting is for studio accounts, 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. The applicant can also withdraw their own application at any point. 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. Before they accept, each proposed time is checked against their own calendar and flagged if it clashes with something they've already got booked. 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 accounts post offers; they can't apply. Applying is for individual accounts.

Can I withdraw an application after I send it?

Yes. Open the application from your own profile's News > Jobs section and tap Withdraw application. It's allowed at any stage, and if an interview was set up it's cancelled for both sides. The studio still sees that you applied, now marked as withdrawn. See Tracking your applications.

Will other applicants see that I applied?

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