An example:

A "daily" updated job will appear at top of the search results every 24 hours, whereas a weekly updated advert will jump to the top every 7 days. The more frequent the update, the more exposure your recruitment ad will receive. Your advertisement initially appears at top of search results listing and in our newsletters.
