In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to create a job in Recruitee so you can publish it on your careers site, post it to job boards, and attract new candidates in no time.

📌 This video features an earlier version of Recruitee's UI that may look different than what Recruitee looks like today.

To get started, go to the Jobs section and click + Add job.

Select between three options to create a new job:

Start by giving your job a title and select a primary language with the drop down menu (if you have enabled multiple language).

If you have enabled multi-language, your job appears on the job board and in your career site in the primary language you selected.

📌 We’ll use the job’s title to generate the job URL on your careers site. For example, the job Senior Designer will have the URL www.testcompany.recruitee.com/o/senior-designer.

📌 You can customize your job’s URL by following these steps. Once your job has a title, you can save it as a draft and come back to finish setting it up at any time.

Next, choose a Department with the drop-down menu, and select a priority level (Low, Normal, High, Urgent) to help your team understand the job’s urgency level. Next, add Tags.

Number of openings: Click the toggle to enable a Limit for the number of job openings and then enter the number of job openings.

Requisition: Assign a requisition directly from the job.

Requisition approval is only available in our Optimize plan.

Description: Write an engaging job description Use formatting, add images, and be creative; we’ve gathered tips for writing great job descriptions.

Requirements: List the requirements candidates must fulfill to apply for this job.

If the location you want to assign does not exist, click + Add new location to create one right away

Select between three work models for the role you are creating. Work model is a mandatory field, and you can select the three models if they fit the role.

These fields are essential if you want to post to free job boards or start a campaign on premium job boards. Information in these fields helps your applicants understand the position a lot better and see if they're a good match.

💡 If a specific requirement isn't available in the options, choose the closest equivalent to still provide relevant information to potential candidates.

💡 In cases where two options seem equally fitting, opt for the minimum requirement. This approach broadens the pool of potential candidates without excluding those who might meet the job criteria.

📌 Each job board has its own requirements and uses a predefined list of options. Because of that, the jobs you create in Recruitee have to be adapted to these requirements. As a result, you may spot differences in how the job information is shown on a job board, e.g. jobs published by Recruitee as “Full time, permanent” can sometimes be displayed as “Full time” on a job board.

Enter the salary range, select a period and the currency with the drop down menus.

Click on + Add new image to upload an image to make your job offer more attractive on your career site.

📌 To display the image, enable the Job cover image on your career site.

When Requisition approvals are enabled, you can create jobs based on requisitions.

To do so, you can either create a new job directly from the Requisition approvals module or click + Add job in Jobs and choose the From requisition option. Once a requisition is associated, you'll notice that some of the fields from the Job posting tab are already filled in with the data used from the requisition.

You can also assign a requisition to an already existing job in the Requisition section (see above).

Remember, only approved requisitions can be associated with jobs.

Job postings now have a new field called Number of openings. Users with permission to Manage jobs can define the number of openings available per job. It is not possible to hire more candidates for a job than the number of openings defined. However, the number of job openings can be edited at any time in the hiring process.

If your job was assigned to requisition and the module is later disabled, the number of openings will be automatically filled in.

All done? Once you have created your job, you have three options:

💡You can also schedule your job to be published and closed automatically.
