The job listing is one of the most important parts of your career page as it gives visitors an overview of your active job openings. To make sure it gets the attention it deserves, you can make some small tweaks and adjustments. In this article we'll explain how to customize your job listing and how to make sure it fits your career page.
Using the list or tile view
There are two ways to display your job listing:
a list of your active jobs
a collection of tiles of your active jobs
From anywhere in the tool, click Career page in the sidebar
Scroll down to your job listing and click the first button, the Content icon, at the top right corner of the job block
Switch the toggle for "Use list view" to enable the list view. If you prefer the tile view, disable the toggle
Click Save in the top right corner to save your career page. Click Publish if you want to publish these changes immediately.
Structuring your job listing
Your job listing is automatically arranged by publish date as long as you haven't rearranged it yet – the oldest on top, newer ones below. Don't like the order? Here's how to change it.
Rearranging job openings
You can rearrange the order of your job openings if you want to highlight a certain job or to make them easier to scan for example.
From anywhere in the tool, click Career page in the sidebar
Scroll to the job listing, where you see your active published job openings
Drag and drop them to change the order
Grouping job openings
By default, none of your job openings will be grouped. You can, however, choose to group your job openings by Department, Location, and Job type. If grouped, visitors to your career page will always be able to choose the other options to group the job openings themselves.
From anywhere in the tool, click Career page in the sidebar
Scroll down to your job listing and click the first button, the Content icon, at the top right corner of the job block
At "Group by" select one of the options to group your job listings.
Rearranging departments and locations
When your job openings are grouped, you can rearrange the order of the Departments and Locations. This way you'll have full control over what jobs are on top of the list, and which ones are further down.
From anywhere in the tool, click Settings in the sidebar
In Company details, scroll down to "Departments" or "Locations"
Drag and drop the items in the list to change the order. This will automatically change the order on your career page as well
Enabling the advanced career page filter
If you have a large number of job openings, the result is a very long list of job posts on your career page, which can be difficult for visitors to scan and find the job they’re looking for. With the advanced filter feature, visitors of your career page are able to search jobs in a search bar and/or filter jobs on job type, department or location. This makes it easy to quickly find the job they’re looking for.
From anywhere in the tool, click Career page in the sidebar
Scroll down to your job listing and click the first button, the Content-icon, at the top right corner of the job block
Switch the toggle for Advanced filters. You’ll notice the filters are added automatically
You can also choose to group job posts by department, job type or location
Click Save in the top right corner to save your career page. Click Publish if you want to publish these changes immediately.
Styling your job listing
You can style your job listing to make sure it fits your company brand and stands out on your career page. There are a couple of elements you can change to do this:
From anywhere in the tool, click Career page in the sidebar
Scroll down to your job listing and click the second button, the Appearance icon, at the top right corner of the job block
You'll see a couple of things you can change:
Background: this sets the background image or color of the job listing job block
Title color: you can change the color of the title at the top of the job listing
Job title color: this changes the color of the job titles in your job listing
Padding: by adjusting the padding, you're changing the space above and below the job listing job block
After making adjustments, click Save in the top right corner to save your career page. Click Publish if you want to publish these changes immediately.
Making sure your jobs are visible
Is a job opening you just added not appearing on your career page? The career page only shows job posts that are published and Public. Use this checklist to find out why your job opening is not visible:
Is your job post published or is it still listed under ‘Drafts’ at Jobs? You can publish your job post by clicking on the job and going to the Live editor via Job post in the upper job navigation. Then click Publish, at the top right corner
Is your job post set to Public? Or is it labeled as Private with a green lock icon? Make it Public by clicking on the job and then the Settings icon, scroll down a bit and select Public as Visibility. Click Save
Is your job opening active? Or is it closed? You can find the closed job openings by going to Jobs and then clicking the tab Closed. Click on the job and go to the Settings icon, and then Reopen job if you want to reopen it.
