Answer 1

I would go as follows:

$(".recruiterLink").hover(function(){
 $(this).stop().animate({"top" : "-20px"});
}, function(){
 $(this).stop().animate({"top": "0"});
});

This means your div.recruiterLink must have positioning

.recruiterLink
{
    position: relative;
}

this may be the start of what you are looking for:

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('#tab-to-animate').hover(function() {

        // this anonymous function is invoked when
        // the mouseover event of the tab is fired

        // you will need to adjust the second px value to
        // fit the dimensions of your image
        $(this).css('backgroundPosition', 'center 0px');

    }, function() {

        // this anonymous function is invoked when
        // the mouseout event of the tab is fired

        // you will need to adjust the second px value to
        // fit the dimensions of your image
        $(this).css('backgroundPosition', 'center -20px');

    });

});

Sorry, misrepresent the question this code should do, move the div as a whole, assuming you first clicked it using position: relative css property.

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('.recruiterLink').hover(function() {

        $(this).css({
            'position' : 'relative',
            'top' : 0
        });

    }, function() {

        $(this).css({
            'position' : 'relative',
            'top' : 20
        });

    });

});
