Introduction
Every page on your careers site is built from two things: a theme that sets its colors, fonts, navigation, and footer, and a stack of sections that make up the body of the page. Once you understand those two pieces, you can restyle a whole site or rewrite a single paragraph with the same editor.
This article walks through the page editor, how to create and manage themes, and how to add and edit sections.
Note: Creating and publishing custom pages is available on our Grow and Optimize plans (Scale and Lead on legacy plans). Your Home and Job details pages are available on every plan.
Page editor
To open a page for editing, go to your CareersHub dashboard, hover over the page you want to change, and click Edit.
You can also open the editor from the page's ⋯ menu, which additionally lets you View, Duplicate, Set as Homepage, or Delete the page.
The navigation bar
The bar above the editor holds everything that applies to the page as a whole. From left to right:
Close (✕) — leave the editor and return to the dashboard.
Page name and status — shows whether the page is Published or a Draft.
Page settings (gear icon) — the page name, URL, status, languages, SEO, and social sharing image.
Language switcher — appears when your careers site has more than one language.
Editing now — avatars of any other admins working on the page at the same time.
Help — a tour around the CareersHub, the Help Center, and what's new.
View mode — switch between Editor, Responsive preview, and Mobile preview.
Preview — open the page as a candidate sees it.
Page history — browse earlier versions of the page.
Autosave indicator — a checkmark showing when the page was last saved. Click it to save immediately.
Publish — put your changes live.
Note: The CareersHub saves your work automatically as you go, so there's no separate Save button. Saving isn't the same as publishing — your changes only reach candidates once you click Publish.
Tip: Page history keeps your 40 most recent drafts. If you want to keep a version for longer than that, open Page history and choose Save as backup — backups are kept permanently. To go back to an earlier version, select it and click Restore this version.
The sidebar
On the right side of the editor you'll find:
The page's theme — a preview card showing the theme this page uses and how many pages share it.
Sections — a table of contents listing every section on the page, in order.
The sidebar hides while you're editing a section, and reappears when you're done.
Themes
A theme determines a page's colors, fonts, navigation, and footer, so you can carry your company's branding across your whole careers site. You can create several themes and choose which pages use each one.
Create a theme
In the editor sidebar, click the ⋯ menu on the theme card and select Switch theme.
Click New theme in the top right.
Give your theme a name and click Create.
Customize it using the steps below.
Tip: If your new theme is a variation on an existing one, don't start from scratch. Open the theme list, find the theme closest to what you want, and choose Duplicate theme from its ⋯ menu.
Edit a theme
Hover over the theme card in the sidebar and click Edit theme. The card shows a preview of the theme and how many pages use it.
Set the navigation Layout.
Important: Editing a theme changes every page that uses it, not just the page you have open. The theme editor shows the count — check it before you make changes.
The theme editor has four sections. Click one to expand it.
Colors
Set the Heading color, Paragraph color, Accent color, Primary button text, and Page background color for every page using this theme.
Fonts
Choose the Heading font, Paragraph font, and Button font. For each one you can also set the weight and turn on italic or UPPERCASE. Font size sets the overall text scale to Small or Medium.
Note: Can't find your font? You can upload your own font files in your CareersHub site settings, and they'll appear in these lists marked Custom.
Navigation
The navigation is the bar at the top of your careers site. Here you can add your logo and link to other pages so candidates can find their way around.
Set the navigation Layout.
Under Logo, click Upload logo to drag and drop or upload your logo. Use the slider below it to adjust the logo's size.
Note: By default, clicking your logo takes candidates to your homepage. To send them somewhere else, click the link icon next to Logo and choose a destination.
Use Links, Social links, and Button to highlight pages, your social media channels, or a website in the navigation. Click Edit on each to:
Add links to other pages of your careers site.
Link to your social media channels with icons.
Add a button pointing to a page or website.
Under Navigation color scheme, choose Section to inherit the colors of each page's first section, or Custom to set a Background color and Link color yourself.
Under Content boundary, choose Full screen so the navigation spans the whole screen, or Inset so it's indented on each side.
Turn on Sticky navigation to keep the navigation visible as candidates scroll. Choose On scroll to show it whenever the page is scrolled, or Only on scroll up to show it only when scrolling back up.
Note: Sticky navigation doesn't preview inside the editor. Use Preview to see it in action.
Footer
A footer at the bottom of your careers site can link to social media, additional pages, or other information.
Switch on Display footer.
Add a Logo, then click Edit on Links and Social links to add destinations.
Adjust the Footer size, Link color, and Background color.
Turn Recruitee branding off if you'd rather not show it.
Note: Hiding Recruitee branding is available on our Grow and Optimize plans (Scale and Lead on legacy plans).
When you're finished, click Update to apply your changes to every page using the theme, or Cancel to discard them.
Switch a page to a different theme
Use different themes to style parts of your careers site differently — useful when you have several brands or entities with their own look and feel.
In the editor sidebar, click the ⋯ menu on the theme card and select Switch theme.
Hover over the theme you want and click Select this theme. The page updates so you can preview the result.
Click Update to keep it, or Back to return to your original theme.
From the same list, each theme's ⋯ menu also offers Duplicate theme, Change name, and Delete.
Important: Deleting a theme can't be undone.
You can delete a theme only when no pages are using it. If a page is still using the theme, switch it to another theme, such as Default, before deleting the theme.
Sections
Sections make up the body of your page. You can add as many as you like, in any order.
Add a section
Hover between two existing sections and click Add section.
The Section library opens. Pick a section type from the list on the left, then choose a layout from the options on the right.
The section types available are:
Section | What it's for |
Text | A paragraph or a headline — type whatever you want. |
Image | An image, with accompanying text paragraphs. |
Gallery | Show off your team, office, and culture with a set of photos. |
Video | Embed a video from YouTube or Vimeo. |
List | List benefits, company values, FAQs, or processes as cards. |
Quotes | Employee testimonials, with author names and photos. |
Map | Show your office locations. |
Jobs | List your open or featured jobs. |
Job alert | A sign-up form so candidates hear about new jobs. |
Cookie preferences | Let visitors change the cookie choices they've made. |
Note: The Job alert section is available on our Grow and Optimize plans, and needs job alerts switched on in your CareersHub site settings. The Cookie preferences section needs cookie settings enabled. If either is turned off, the section shows as Inactive in the editor and candidates won't see it.
Tip: Built a section you want to reuse? Open its ⋯ menu and choose Copy section. A paste icon then appears next to every Add section button, on this page and on others.
Edit a section
Hover over a section and click Edit section, or open the ⋯ menu next to it in the sidebar and choose Edit section.
The section editor opens, with three tabs at the top:
Layout — alignment, padding, and the overall arrangement of the section. Turn on Section header here to add a heading above the content.
Colors & background — sections inherit your theme's colors by default. Set custom colors here, or add a background color, image, or video.
Size — section size and padding, minimum height, and vertical alignment.
Note: The options in each tab depend on the section's type and layout, so a Text section and a Jobs section won't offer the same settings.
Edit the section's content as described below.
Click Done in the top right when you're finished.
Text
Click a text box to start editing. A toolbar appears above the section for formatting and styling.
Click + in the toolbar to add a Button, Paragraph, or Heading 1 to Heading 4 on a new line.
Buttons
Click a button in the text editor to select it, then click the pencil icon to edit its label and destination.
Under the destination field you can link to a Page on your careers site, a specific Section of a page, a Job, a Web address, an Email address, or a Phone number. You can also choose Open in new tab.
Click + next to a button to add another one inline, or a text block on a new line.
Single images
Hover over the image and click the edit icon. From there you can edit the image details, add alt text, replace the image, or delete it.
Tip: Always add alt text. It's shown when an image can't load, it's read aloud by screen readers, and it helps your careers site's SEO.
Gallery images
Click the edit icon in the top right of any image to open the gallery editor, where you can add images, remove them, reorder them, and edit each one's details and alt text.
Note: If your gallery uses the Masonry grid, hovering an image also shows resize handles for adjusting that image's height and width directly on the page. Other grid types size images automatically.
List items
Hover over the list and click the pencil icon, or open the section's ⋯ menu and choose Edit list.
Pick a card from the list on the left to edit its Image, Title, and Description, or click Delete card to remove it.
Switch on Show button to add a button to the card, then set the Button URL and Button label.
Click Add new to add more cards, and drag and drop them to reorder.
Map
Hover over the map and click Edit map locations.
Type an address into the search bar to find your location, then add a Title and Description.
Click Add new for additional locations, and drag and drop them to reorder.
Reorder, move, and remove sections
There are two ways to change a section's position:
Drag and drop it within the Sections list in the sidebar.
Hover over the section on the page and use the up and down arrows in its toolbar.
Either way, the section moves immediately so you can see the result.
To remove a section, open its ⋯ menu — on the section itself or in the sidebar — and choose Remove.
Tip: The same ⋯ menu offers Copy section link, which gives you a link straight to that section. Use it in your navigation or in a button to send candidates directly to the part of the page that matters.
Example: one site, two brands
Say you're hiring for a parent company and a recently acquired startup, and the two have different visual identities.
Build your parent company's pages first, using your default theme.
Open one of those pages, click Switch theme, then New theme, and name it after the startup.
Edit the new theme with the startup's colors, fonts, logo, and footer.
Open each of the startup's pages and switch it to the new theme.
Both sets of pages now live on one careers site, share one editor, and keep their own branding. Update the startup's colors later and every page using that theme changes at once.
Frequently asked questions
Do my changes go live as soon as I make them?
Do my changes go live as soon as I make them?
No. The CareersHub saves your work as a draft automatically, but candidates only see it after you click Publish.
Can two people edit the same page at the same time?
Can two people edit the same page at the same time?
Yes. You'll see the avatars of other admins in the navigation bar. Individual sections and themes lock while someone is editing them — you can see who it is, and end their session if you need to.
I changed a theme and other pages changed too. Why?
I changed a theme and other pages changed too. Why?
A theme applies to every page assigned to it. The theme editor shows how many pages use the theme before you edit it. To restyle a single page, create a new theme, or duplicate the existing one and switch just that page over.
Can I undo a change?
Can I undo a change?
There's no undo button, but every draft is kept in Page history. Open it, find the version you want, and click Restore this version.
Why can't I see the Job alert or Cookie preferences section in the library?
Why can't I see the Job alert or Cookie preferences section in the library?
Both depend on features that can be switched off. Check your CareersHub site settings — and note that job alerts are only available on the Grow and Optimize plans.
