Jobs feature overview

This article will explain the basics of the jobs feature. It will explain what this feature does and the minimum information that you should provide when advertising a job.

The jobs feature allows you to advertise current jobs on your website and provide potential applicants with the details they need to apply. 

When you add a job to the site, a banner will appear in the footer of your website. This will allow potential applicants to see easily when you are hiring. Note: this banner cannot be turned off unless you remove all job listings from the site.

The Jobs page will display a list of the jobs currently open for applications. To see details, applicants can either click the title of the job, or the Apply now button in the bottom left of each listing.

When the applicant selects either of those buttons, the details for the job will be shown. The absolute minimum amount of information that should be provided for a job listing is: the job role, description, documents, expiry date for job, category for job and contact email for the job. This is to ensure that your applicants have a good idea of what they are applying for. The email address will only be revealed when the Apply for job button is clicked on this screen.

Once the expiry date of all jobs on the site has been reached, the jobs banner will disappear. The posts themselves will not disappear, but the Apply for job email address will not be visible. You will need to manually delete the posts once the expiry date is passed. Follow this link to learn how to delete a job posting.
