If Job boards is missing from the left menu, the Job Board isn't switched on for your company yet. Ask us in the chat.
Jobs in Settings only shows for Owners and Admins, so Members don't see it.
Jobs and publishing
My job isn't on the public board
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. If you use auto-publish, check the job order's publishing status in Bullhorn, and that the job has a title, description and employment type. A job missing one of those stays a draft.
I can't publish a job
I can't publish a job
A required field is missing, and the message names it. A job needs a title, a description and an employment type. Click Edit, fill it in and save.
Can I delete a job?
Can I delete a job?
Only drafts, and archived jobs with no applications. Open the job and click Delete, then confirm. This can't be undone.
Live, paused and closed jobs can't be deleted; archive them first. To delete an archived job that has applications, first delete them with Delete all on the job's Applications tab. Otherwise keep it archived.
A job went offline on its own

Check the job's Audit tab. If the job has an Auto-deactivate on date, it was paused on that date. If it's linked to Bullhorn, check your Auto-pause jobs and Auto-close and archive jobs conditions. Click Set active to put it back.
My custom field doesn't show on the job
My custom field doesn't show on the job
A new field doesn't show anywhere until you add it to a job appearance under Settings > Jobs > Job appearance. The field list there only shows fields for the section you've selected, so a missing field may sit under another section.
Applications

Can a candidate apply twice to the same job?
Can a candidate apply twice to the same job?
A signed-in candidate can't: the job shows You applied on instead of Apply now. Without signing in, the same email can't apply to the same job again within 24 hours. Paused and closed jobs don't take applications at all.
Do I get an email when someone applies?
Do I get an email when someone applies?
Yes, if New applications is on for you under Your Account > Notifications > Job board. Each person switches this on for themselves. An Owner can't turn it on for other users, so ask each recruiter to check it. You get one email per confirmed application on jobs you own or are assigned to.
No email? Check that New applications is on and click Save changes. Then check that you're the job owner or an assignee, and that the candidate confirmed their email. Candidates already in the job's pipeline don't trigger an email.
Does the candidate get an email when I change their status?
Does the candidate get an email when I change their status?

Check the form's Bullhorn field mapping. An answer only goes to Bullhorn if its question is mapped.
