Job Board overview and getting-started checklist

What the Job Board does, where to find it, and the steps to get your first job live.

Written by Gustavo Teran

The Job Board gives your agency a public careers site. Candidates browse your open jobs, apply with their CV, and follow their application afterwards. Applications land in Candidately, and if you use Bullhorn they can be sent there automatically.

What you can do

  • Run one or more boards, for example one per brand, client, or region. Each board has its own address and branding.

  • Post jobs by hand, or import them from Bullhorn.

  • Choose what candidates fill in when they apply, including your own screening questions.

  • Review applicants per job and move them through your statuses.

  • Send applicants to Bullhorn as candidates and submissions.

  • Publish an XML feed for job-ad platforms such as Recruitics.

Where to find it

  • Job Board icon in the left sidebar: your jobs and applicants, day-to-day.

  • Settings → Jobs: boards, applicant statuses, application forms, field management and job appearance.

  • Settings → Integrations → Bullhorn → Job Board settings: the Bullhorn connection for jobs and applicants.

Getting-started checklist

  1. Check your company-wide Terms of Use and Privacy Policy links in Settings → Company. Candidates must accept them when they apply.

  2. Create your board and choose its address. See Create and set up a job board.

  3. Brand it in the Theme editor. See Brand your job board with the Theme editor.

  4. Set up your application form and screening questions. See Application forms and screening questions.

  5. Check your applicant statuses. See Set up applicant statuses.

  6. If you use Bullhorn: decide whether applicants go to Bullhorn automatically. See Send applicants to Bullhorn automatically.

  7. Create and publish your first job. See Create, publish and manage a job.

  8. Open the public board and apply to your own job once, to see what candidates see.

The Job Board dashboard

  • Live jobs: jobs currently on the public board.

  • Applicants: applicants across your active jobs.

  • New this week: new applications this week.

  • Views: board page views.

  • Use All boards to switch to a single board, the search box to find a job by title or Bullhorn ID, and Status to filter by Live, Paused, Draft, Closed or Archived.
