Job Openings

Job Openings is under Content in the left-hand menu. It holds the job adverts shown on your website's careers listing.

⚠️ Publishing a job opening emails your subscribers on the next digest run. There is no tick box for this and no way to un-send it.

Adding a job

  1. Click Job Openings in the left-hand menu.
  2. Click Create New.
  3. Fill in the fields below.
  4. Click Save.
Field What it's for
Title The job title
Published At The date the advert goes out. Required

Employment Type Full time, part time, and so on
Experience Years Years of experience expected

There is no draft. Saving publishes the job immediately.

Taking a job down

Untick Active and save. The advert comes off the website.

This is better than deleting it. The record stays, so you can see what was advertised and when, and you can put it back by re-ticking the box if the role reopens.

Delete only when you are certain you'll never want it again — that is permanent.

The subscriber email

Your subscribers receive a digest, and job openings go into it automatically, like news articles.

  • Active must be ticked. A job with Active unticked is never emailed. This is the way to add a job without notifying anyone — leave it unticked, then tick it when you're ready.
  • Each job is emailed once. Editing it afterwards does not send it again.
  • A future Published At date holds the email back until that date passes. Useful for lining a job up with an announcement.

Writing the advert

Say how to apply, explicitly. The single most common reason a good candidate doesn't apply is that they weren't sure how.

Put the salary in if you can. Adverts without one get noticeably fewer applications.

Who can do what

Admins, Editors and Authors can create and edit job openings. Only Admins and Editors can delete one.
