Create the job ad (in SmartStart)
- SmartStart
The first step to creating a new job with our SmartStart edition is to create the job's ad.
This guide applies to the SmartStart edition. See this guide for creating Jobs in the SmartRecruit edition.
Getting started
To get started, click Create a Job at the top of SmartRecruiters. You'll start on the Create step and write the job's ad.
Enter job title
Enter the job's title. If you've previously posted jobs with similar titles, SmartRecruiters will show you a list of those jobs.
Select a job in the Copy a Job section to copy just the contents of that job ad. Or, just press Tab or click outside of the Job Title field if you don't want to copy a previous job.
Enter job address
Start typing an address into the Location field. SmartRecruiters will search Google's Location API for similar results. Choose one
Alternatively, if you'd like to specify the location yourself, click Fill Manually.
SmartRecruiters' Google Jobs Search integration will use this address to estimate candidates' commute times, and add an interactive Google Map to the job ad.
SmartRecruiters does not currently support national jobs or remote jobs. Choose a location that's close to your office or to the target community for the posting. Also, avoid posting the same job in multiple locations. If you do, job boards may mark your job ads as spam and not publish your job.
Choose language
To set the candidate-facing language of a job ad, choose it from the Job Ad Language list on the first step of the Job Posting Wizard, under Street Address).
It's a required field, so the default language is English. However, if you choose a different language, that language will be pre-selected on the next job you create.
Supported Languages
When posting a job, you can set the language of the ad in the following languages:
|
|
|
If you choose a language that is in both this list and the Candidate Experience list, we'll localize the section headers and buttons on the job ad, but not the text you or your team adds to the ad itself.
If you choose a language that is in this list and not in the Candidate Experience language list, such as Welsh, SmartRecruiters will not localize the job ad. Such languages have been added to support company who use our API to create custom career sites and application processes.
When a candidate views this job ad, parts of the ad and the application will be localized in that language.
The language of the job ad and application form are determined by the language chosen on the job ad, not the language of the candidate's browser.
Create ad
Next, it's time to add the bulk of the job ad's text.
If this is the first job you've created, enter a Company Description for your company using the rich-text editor. Each time you create a new job, SmartRecruiters will automatically populate this field with the description of the last job that you posted.
If you've copied a previous ad or job template, SmartRecruiters will fill the Job Description, Qualifications, and Additional Information sections. If not, just enter them here using the rich-text editors.
To see examples from other SmartRecruiters customers, click View examples. These examples will be selected based on the job title and location you’ve entered.
If you have any other information to add about the position or company, enter it into the Additional Information field. Just like with the company description, SmartRecruiters will automatically fill in information from the last job you posted.
If you have recruiting videos you’d like to include on your job ad, add YouTube links into the Add Video field. You can add as many videos as you’d like, but they must be hosted on YouTube.
Preview and save
Once you’ve filled out all the information:
- Click Preview to see the job ad as presented to your candidates.
- Click Next to fill out the job's additional details and add a hiring team.
