Who can do this: Owners and Admins.

Product: Job Board

Where: Settings → Jobs → Job boards

Your job board is the public page your jobs are published on. Your account may already have one, so check the list before you create a new board.

Open Job boards settings

Create a board

Go to Settings → Jobs → Job boards.
Click New job board, or open the board that's already in the list.
Enter a Name, for example "Talentbird Careers". Candidates see it on their applications in the portal. Browser tabs and Google results use your agency name instead.
Check the Slug, the last part of the web address. It fills in from the name and uses lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens.
Leave Domain on jobs.candidate.ly (default) until your own web address is set up.
Leave Application form and Job appearance for now. You pick them once you've built them.
Pick the Default locale and Supported locales for the board's language. English and German are available.
Set Show job owner on public job pages to Yes if candidates should see the recruiter who owns each job.
Click Create job board.

You see Job board created. The Google preview on the right of the form shows how the board appears in search results, and updates as you type. On the board, Theme editor opens the branding and Open public board shows the live page.

What each board setting does

Open a board to see its actions and settings. The Audit tab lists the board's change history.

A board's Configuration tab

The board basics sit on the left, with the Google preview on the right.

Name, Slug	The board's name, and the last part of its web address. If you change the slug, the old address keeps working and forwards to the new one.
Domain	Where the board lives. See Use your own web address for a job board.
Application form	The form candidates fill in for jobs on this board, unless a job has its own. See Build an application form.
Job appearance	Which fields candidates see on a job page. See Choose which fields a job shows.
Default locale, Supported locales	The board's language: English, German or both.
Show job owner on public job pages	Shows the recruiter who owns the job on its page.
Take jobs offline automatically	Takes a job off the board a set number of days after it's published. See Pause, close, archive or delete a job.
Archive closed jobs automatically	Archives a job once it has been closed a set number of days. See Pause, close, archive or delete a job.
Candidate emails	Sender name and reply-to for the emails candidates get. See Set up candidate emails for a job board.
Search engine visibility	How the board and its jobs look in Google. See Get your job board found on Google.
Legal	Your privacy policy and terms links for the footer and the application form, and a footer text under every job. Fill in both links: if they're empty, candidates see no link.
Theme editor	Logo, colors, fonts and layout. See Brand your job board with the theme editor.
Job feed tab	An XML feed for job sites. See Share your jobs on job sites with an XML feed.

Use more than one board

You can have several boards, for example one per brand or region. Every job goes on exactly one board. The board marked Default is your main one. To make another board the main one, open it and click Set as company default. You see Default job board changed.

Archive a board

Boards can't be deleted. To take a board offline, open it and click Archive. You see Job board archived. To bring it back, click Restore.

The default board can't be archived, so set another board as default first. An archived board can't be made the default until you restore it.

Note: Once the board looks right, add a Jobs or Careers link on your website that points to the public board. See Link to your job board from your website.

Troubleshooting

I don't see Job boards in the menu

The Job Board isn't switched on for your company yet. Ask us in the chat.

I see Job boards, but not Jobs in Settings

Only Owners and Admins manage boards. Ask an Owner or Admin in your team.

I can't archive a board

It's your default board, so Archive is grayed out. Open another board, click Set as company default, then archive this one.

Still stuck? Send us a message in the chat with the board's name and a screenshot of its settings.

Pro tip: Set the slug before you share the board's address. A changed slug forwards from the old address, but the link on your website should still be updated.
