Create a job

Recruiters and admins create and change jobs. Hiring managers and viewers can look at the jobs they help hire for.

Start a job

1. Open Jobs and choose New job.
2. Under Start from, choose A blank job, A template or Another job. A copy of another job keeps everything except its candidates.
3. Give it a title, such as Mountain guide, Lofoten, and choose Create job.

The job starts as a draft. Nothing reaches candidates until you publish it.

Find a job

Jobs lists your jobs in tabs: Open, Live, Drafts, In review, Closed and Archived. Filter by department or search by title. Each row shows the status, where the job is, how many applications it has and when it last changed.

A job has these tabs: Job ad, Hiring team, Application form, Interviews, Publishing & SEO, Hiring room and Offers.

Write the ad

On the Job ad tab, under The ad:

• Title: say the job plainly, as people search for it. Up to 160 characters.
• Summary: one or two sentences for job lists and search results. Up to 400 characters.
• Description: what the job is, who you are looking for and what you offer. Use headings and lists so it reads well on a phone.

If AI writing is on for job ads, each field has Write with AI. It can write a draft, improve, shorten, make the text more inclusive or fix spelling. Read the result before you choose Use this. See AI in Careers Orbit.

Languages

Write the ad in your main language first. If your career site offers more languages, choose one in the language picker at the top of the job to translate the title, summary and description. The picker shows how much is translated, such as Deutsch 60%. Anything you leave empty shows in the main language, so a page is never half empty. See Languages and translations.

Say where and how

Under The job, which is the same in every language:

• Type: full time, part time, contract, temporary, internship, apprenticeship or working student.
• Workplace: on site, hybrid or remote.
• Department: such as Guiding or Gear shops. Add departments under Departments.
• Locations: every place the job is open at, such as the Oslo and Bergen shops. A remote job can do without one, or name one to say which countries candidates may live in.

Add the salary

Under Salary, enter the range From and To, the currency (EUR, NOK, SEK, DKK, CHF, GBP, PLN or CZK) and whether it is paid per year, month or hour. Turn on Show it to show the range to candidates and to Google for Jobs. When it is off, only your hiring team sees it.

Choose Save changes in the bar at the bottom when you are done.

Publish

Choose Publish in the job's header. A job can only go live when it has:

• a title
• a description of at least a few sentences
• at least one location, unless the job is remote
• no closing date in the past

Your plan also sets how many jobs can be live at once. See Plans and the trial.

If your organisation reviews job ads first, the button says Send for review instead. See Review job ads before they go live.

Other actions

The menu next to the main button has the rest, depending on the job's status:

• Publish internally only: for employees only. The job stays off your career pages and job boards, and only keys that may read internal jobs see it.
• Make internal only and Publish for everyone: switch a live job between the two.
• Back to draft: take a live job, or one waiting for review, off line again.
• Duplicate and Save as template.
• Archive: for a closed job when hiring is over. Reopen as draft brings an archived job back.
• Move to bin: the job leaves your career pages and job boards at once. Its applications stay, and you can restore it from the bin.

A live job has Close job in the header: it stops taking applications and leaves your career pages and the sitemap, while its candidates stay. A closed job has Reopen.
