Create a page for legal content

Publish your privacy policy, terms and conditions, or cookie policy on a CareersHub page and link to it from your careers site.

Your careers site needs a place for legal content, such as a privacy policy, terms and conditions, or a cookie policy. In the CareersHub, you host this text on its own page and link to it from your footer, so candidates can always find it.

Note: On the Advance and Optimize plans (Scale and Lead on legacy plans), you can create a legal page like any other custom CareersHub page. You can create as many custom pages as you need. On the Start plan (Launch and Legacy on legacy plans), custom pages aren’t available, but you can create one dedicated legal page. During the free trial, you have the same page options as on the Advance plan.


Create a legal page on Advance or Optimize

On these plans, a legal page is an ordinary page, so you build it from the CareersHub dashboard alongside your other pages.

Go to CareersHub > Edit pages & settings.

On your CareersHub dashboard, find the Pages section and click Add page.

Enter a Page name, for example, Privacy policy. It’s also used to create the page address.

Tip: Leave the Advanced options as they are. Use internally hides the page from everyone who doesn’t have the link, so candidates won’t find your legal content.

Click Continue.

In the Create your next page window, select Blank page to start from scratch, or select a ready-made layout with a header and text blocks already in place.

Select a Theme to match the rest of your site, then click Create page.

The page editor opens, and your new page appears on the dashboard under Pages.


Create a legal page on the Start, Launch, or Legacy plans

These plans don’t include custom pages, so you create your one legal page in your site settings.

Go to CareersHub > Edit pages & settings.

On your CareersHub dashboard, click Settings, then open the General tab.

Scroll to Need an additional page for legal content? and click Create now.

Enter a Page name, click Continue, then select a layout and a theme, and click Create page.

The page editor opens. From now on, the page is listed under Settings > General instead of on the dashboard.

Note: Once the page exists, the Create now button is replaced by the page itself, so you can’t create a second one. If you need more pages for legal content, you’ll need to upgrade to a plan that includes custom pages.

Edit, view, or delete your legal page

On the Advance and Optimize plans (Scale and Lead on legacy plans), manage your legal page from the Pages section in your CareersHub dashboard. On the Start plan (Launch and Legacy on legacy plans), follow these steps:

Go to Settings > General and find the page under Need an additional page for legal content?. A dot next to the name tells you whether it’s published.

Click the page name to open it in the editor, or click the menu button next to it for more options:

  • Edit — opens the page editor.

  • View — opens the live page in a new tab. This only appears once the page is published.

  • Delete — removes the page for good.

Important: Deleting the page can’t be undone, and it will remove your legal content. If you only want to take the page off your site for a while, open it in the editor and use Unpublish this page instead.


Add your content

Both routes land you in the same page editor, so the rest is the same whichever plan you’re on.

Click the + where you want a new section, or open the Section library.

Select the Text section type for your policy wording, then select a layout.

Paste or type your legal text into the section.

Tip: Paste your policy in as plain text first, then apply headings and links in the editor. Pasting straight from a Word document or Google Doc can bring formatting with it that doesn’t match your theme.

For everything the editor can do — moving sections, changing colors, adding images — see Editing pages.


Add a cookie preferences section

If your legal page is where you explain cookies, you can also let visitors change their cookie choices right there.

In the page editor, open the Section library.

Select Cookie preferences, then select a layout.

The section lists your cookie providers, with a toggle for each, so visitors can update their consent without having to look for the cookie banner.

Note: The section only does something if cookie consent is switched on for your site. If it isn’t, the editor warns you that visitors won’t be able to change their preferences until you enable the feature in your CareersHub cookie settings. See Manage cookies and integrations on your careers site.

Set the page address

The page address is the part of the URL that comes after your domain, for example, /privacy-policy.

In the page editor, open the page settings.

On the General tab, change the page address to something readable, like privacy-policy.

Translate the page

If your careers site is available in more than one language, open the page settings and use the Languages tab to add translations of your legal content. For details, see Localize your Careers Site.


Publish the page

Your page isn’t live until you publish it. Until then, it shows as Draft.

In the page editor, click Publish in the top-right corner. The button says Publish changes or Save and publish if you have unsaved edits.

Wait for the button to show Published.

Tip: Use Preview before you publish to check how the page looks on mobile. Legal text is long, so it’s worth checking where it breaks.

To take a published page down again, open the publish menu next to the button and select Unpublish this page.


Link to the page from your careers site

Candidates need to find your legal page easily. The usual place for these links is the footer.

Open any page in the editor and select the footer.

Select the link you want to point to your legal page, or add a new one.

In the link picker, start typing the page name and select your legal page. The link picker searches your pages, jobs, and web addresses.

Save and publish the page.

The footer is shared across your careers site, so the link appears on every page. For more on linking, see Creating and publishing pages.


Example

Your legal team gives you a privacy policy and asks that it be accessible from every page of the careers site.

On a Grow plan, you’d click Add page on the dashboard, name it Privacy policy, start from a Blank page, and paste the policy into a Text section. You’d set the page address to privacy-policy, publish, then open your footer and add a Privacy policy link pointing to the new page. Because the footer is shared, the link shows up everywhere at once.

On the Start plan, you’d follow the same steps, but start from Settings > General > Create now. Because you only get one legal page, you’d put your privacy policy, terms, and cookie policy on that page, each in a separate Text section.


Frequently asked questions

How many legal pages can I create?

On the Start, Launch, and Legacy plans, you get one. On the Grow, Optimize, Scale, and Lead plans, there’s no dedicated legal page. You can create as many regular pages as you need.

What happens to my legal page if I change plan?

If you upgrade to a plan with custom pages, your legal page becomes a regular page and moves from Settings > General to your dashboard under Pages. It keeps its content and stays published. If you downgrade to a plan without custom pages, your existing custom pages are unpublished.

Can I hide the page from candidates while I work on it?

Yes. Don’t publish it yet. The page stays as a Draft, visible only to you in the editor, until you click Publish.

Does Recruitee provide the legal text?

No. This page is where you can publish your policies. The wording needs to come from you or your legal team.
