Jobs
Creating a job
New job opens the form in a dialog, grouped as Basics (title, description, URL, language, reference ID, category), Classification (type, mode, level, tags), Workload and salary, Dates and Locations. The URL is where applicants should go — your careers page or your applicant tracking system.
Tags and locations are chosen by searching. If the tag you want does not exist yet, type its name and choose Create tag “…”: it is created when the job is saved, and not at all if the save fails.
A new job is saved as a draft. Save draft keeps it that way; Save and activate also tries to make it active, and if something is missing it saves the draft and lists exactly what.
States
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Being prepared. Incomplete data is fine. Never published. |
| Active | Meant to be published. |
| Inactive | Withdrawn, filled or archived. Kept for the record, never published. |
A draft is activated, or deleted if it is not wanted; an active job can go back to draft or be deactivated; an inactive one can be activated again. The date a job was first activated is kept as its publication date and does not change when you edit it later.
Publication readiness
A job can only be activated when it meets every publication requirement. Its page shows them as a checklist, Publication readiness, with each unmet one linked to the field that fixes it:
- the status is active and the publication date is set;
- title, URL, language and type are present;
- at least one location;
- if a salary is given, its currency and interval too;
- it is within its date window.
The date window
A job leaves its feeds by itself when its apply before date or its end date has passed — nobody has to edit it. It stays active, and comes back by itself if you move the date. The start date never removes a job: a position starting in three months is a normal posting.
What a job shows as
The list and the job’s page show what the job currently presents as:
| Shown as | Why |
|---|---|
| Published | Active, complete and within its date window: it is in its feeds. |
| Expired | Active, but its apply before or end date has passed. |
| Incomplete | Active, but a requirement is not met any more, for example its last location was removed. |
| Draft | A draft. |
| Inactive | Deactivated. |
Only published jobs appear in a feed. The job’s page also lists its feeds and its status history: who changed its status, from what to what, and when.
Job links and clicks
In the published feed, a job’s link points to this application, which counts the click and forwards the visitor to your URL. Clicks are counted per day and country only — no address and no browser details are stored. The dashboard shows them. Once a job is no longer published, its link tells the visitor that the posting is gone instead of forwarding.
Deleting a job
Possible in any state. The confirmation names the feeds the job will disappear from.
