FAQ's
**Some of my job boards are not appearing under Site options. What should I do?**
If a specific job board is not displaying under Site options, you’ll need to contact Broadbean directly. XR receives and displays the configuration data that Broadbean sends through, so any missing boards must be corrected by Broadbean.
**When I go to post a job, I see an error at the bottom of the Broadbean screen. What does this mean?**
If you see an error when attempting to post a job via Broadbean, it usually means either:
- Your Broadbean login is not correctly associated within the Broadbean marketplace setup, or
- The email address linked to your Broadbean account is incorrect.
Please contact Broadbean to verify your login and email details. Once Broadbean confirms that everything is correct on their side, contact the Xeople support team if the error persists.
**Can I expire a job in XR and it withdraws from Broadbean?**

**How long does it take for my Broadbean job to appear on job boards?**
