Create and publish a job

Add a job by hand, save it as a draft and publish it to your board. A job needs a title, description and employment type.

Written by Jan Alexander Jedlinski

Who can do this: Owners, Admins and Members.

You can type a job in yourself, with no Bullhorn needed. To start from a Bullhorn job order instead, see Import a job from Bullhorn.

Open the Job Board in Candidately

Create the job

  1. Click Job boards in the left menu, then Create job.

  2. Click Create manually.

    Create job menu: Create manually (opens the job form) or Search Bullhorn jobs (import an existing JobOrder)

  3. Enter the Job title and the Description.

    New job form in Draft: Job title, Placement Board Talentbird, Category, Description, Application form, Pin on board

  4. Under Board, pick the board the job goes on. Every job goes on exactly one board.

  5. Fill in what candidates use to decide: location, work mode, employment type and salary.

  6. Click Save changes.

The job is saved as a Draft. Candidates can't see it yet.

Publish the job

  1. On the job, click Publish.

  2. Click Publish again to confirm.

    Job Details tab of a Live job: Header fields Title, Category, Location, Employment type, Work mode, then Description

You see Job status updated and the job shows Live. Click View live job to see it the way candidates do.

If your board takes jobs offline automatically, the job's Job details tab shows the date it will be paused.

Required fields

A job needs a title, a description and an employment type to go live. If something's missing, the message names it.

Add a location too. It isn't required to publish, but candidates filter by it, and job sites need it for your XML feed.

Other options on a job

  • Pin on board keeps the job at the top of the public board.

  • Job owner and Assignees show who's working the role. The owner can show on the job page if the board allows it.

  • Clients, Contacts and Tags help your team find and group jobs. Candidates never see clients or contacts.

  • Confidentiality can mark a job as Confidential client, so your team knows not to name the client in the ad.

  • Options > Application form picks a different application form for this job only. Otherwise the board's form is used.

Troubleshooting

I can't publish a job

A required field is missing. The message names it. Click Edit, fill it in and save.

My job isn't on the public board

Check that it shows Live, and that you're looking at the board picked under Board on the job.
