Next, enter the details of the job you wish to post. There are many fields. Some, like the ‘Job Title’ and ‘Job Type’ are mandatory, some like Job Tags are optional. Optional fields are marked with the text (Optional). We recommend completing as many fields as possible as these will help make your listing more visible and may increase the number and quality of the applicants you receive. Note: you can save your entries at any time by clicking ‘Save Draft’. Saved drafts can be reopened from the Admin Panel.
For geographically based jobs including hybrid jobs, you will need to enter the location of the job. The ‘Location’ field will search for a geo-location to match your entry. Be careful to specify both the town your job is located in together with the state and or country. For example enter ‘London, UK’ or ‘London, Ohio’ as appropriate. You may want to double-check check your job has been located correctly on the map when you reach the preview stage.
You will have the opportunity to upload a cover image. This image is optional but recommended to make your listing stand out. This file should be a standard image file (jpg, png etc) sized 1600x200px. The cover image will appear at the top of your listing.
Below the job details section of the screen, you will find the company details section. If you have already created a company that this position is for, you can select that company from the ‘Existing Companies’ tab. If you need to create a new company, click on the ‘New Company’ tab and complete the details. Again, some fields are mandatory and others are optional but we recommend completing as many as possible.
You will also have the opportunity to upload a cover image and company logo. Again, these should be in a standard image format (jpg, png etc) and be of the size indicated on the screen. Should you have difficulty supplying a suitable-sized image don’t worry, we will check and correct the file you upload if necessary. Although these uploads are optional, we highly recommend you upload at least a logo. If no logo is uploaded, we can upload one on your behalf.
