Post job
To search for the right candidates with matching skills who can be interested in your job opening, you can create and post it in smartPeople.
To create a job post, follow the steps listed below:
1. On the navigation menu, click Posts to open the Posts page. Once the Posts page loads, switch to the Jobs tab.
If you have permission to add job posts, the Jobs tab opens by default.
2. On the Jobs tab, you can see a list of jobs you have previously created.
3. If it is your first job post, the list is empty, and you are proposed to start creating your first jobs. To this end, click New job.
As an alternative, you can click New post and then click Job in the dialog that appears.
If you have permission to add posts of any type other than jobs, in this step you can select to add a job, a task, or an event post. A set of options can differ depending on the system settings. For more details, contact your administrator.
4. As a result, the New job page opens. Here you need to enter details of the job you are posting.
Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory. Mandatory fields must be filled in.
5. Start by defining a job title. To this end, enter a job headline to the Job headline text box.
Once you have typed a job headline, you are proposed to connect the job being created to the one from the proposed library. It is done for better matching results. To this end, click Connect or press ENTER on your keyboard.
If you do not want to connect the job you are creating to the one from the proposed library, first click the three dots button within the connected job box, and then click Delete in the menu that appears.
6. Now that you are done, proceed to the Skills section. As soon as the job you are creating is connected to the one from the library, you are proposed to automatically add skill suggestions predefined for the job. Accept by clicking Yes. As a result, the suggestions populate the Skills list. You can edit them, if needed.
If you do not want to get skill suggestions and want to add skills from scratch, or you want to extend proposed skill suggestions by adding a new skill, click Add skills.
Like settings up a profile, you can add here skills in the Add skills dialog by searching for them, browsing their categories, extracting them from a file or a text. To get more details about possible ways of adding skills, see Add skills.
You can set here one or more skills as mandatory by clicking the exclamation mark icon within the required skill record. Only candidates that have that particular skill can match the job post.
You can skip setting a skill as mandatory on this step and do it later directly on the New job page after adding the skill to the list.
Once you are happy with your selection, click Add at the bottom of the dialog to close it and proceed to the next step.
If you do not set one of the skills as mandatory, the candidate you try to find can miss that skill but have the rest skills you have added to the job post. So, the candidate has matches.
However, if you set any skill as mandatory in your job post, the candidate missing that skill in the profile cannot match the job post anymore.
7. Under Locations, define one or more locations you want to add to your job post. To this end, click Add locations. As a result, the Add locations dialog appears.
Start typing a location in the Search field, and then select the one you need from the list of suggestions. You can search for a city, a state, or a country. In addition, you can specify a remote location.
As soon as you click a suggestion of your choice (state, country, or remote), it appears under Selected locations.
Once you are done, click Add to add selected locations to list of your location preferences of the job post.
8. Continue by adding additional details to your job post.
This section may look different for your company. The field availability as well as the number of fields under Details depends on your smartPeople settings. For more details about availability of custom fields, contact your administrator.
Important: Make sure you do not post any confidential information.
9. In the Expiration date date picker, specify the job post due date. Once the date is reached, the job post is automatically archived.
10. Now that you have added all the details about the job post you are creating, you can share it with others. To this end, use the Access permissions pane on the Settings tab. To add a single user or multiple users with whom you want to share the post, click the plus icon.
11. In the Share post dialog that appears, search for a user by entering their name or email address to the search box, and then selecting the suggestion that suits you best. Add as many users as you need.
12. As the next step, define access permissions for each user by clicking the three dots button within that user record and selecting the access permission you want to grant. You can choose among the following permissions: Owner, Editor, Viewer, or you can even Revoke access.
By default, the Editor access permission is assigned.
You can change the access permissions for users any time when editing your job post.
13. Once you are done, click Share.
As a result, users with whom you want to share the post as well as their access permissions are shown on the Access permissions pane.
14. To save all the information you have defined for your job and post it, click Save.
