Step One - Defining the Role

  1. Job Title: For maximum visibility, we recommend using a widely recognized Job Title. Using common titles ensures that jobseekers can easily find your listing.

  2. Job Type: You can select multiple Job Types to best represent the nature of the role you're looking to fill. This helps job seekers understand the scope and expectations of the position.

  3. Location Type: We offer three choices for specifying your Location Type: In-person, Hybrid Remote (a mix of in-person and remote work), or Fully Remote. Select the option that best describes how the role will operate.

  4. Job Location: Identifying at least one Job Location is required. You can specify up to three locations, including cities or provinces. To add a location, simply begin typing and select the appropriate option from the drop-down menu. If you wish to include multiple locations, repeat this process for each.

Step Two - Crafting Your Job Description

If you already have a Job Description, simply copy and paste it into this section. Need a bit of inspiration or assistance in creating an engaging description? Try our AI Job Description Generator! It's conveniently located in the top right corner of the Job Posting Body Section seen below and is designed to help you articulate the perfect job description.

Step Three - Defining Additional Details

  1. Categories: Select up to two categories that best describe the essence of the role and/or your business industry. Categories help jobseekers find your listing through targeted filters and job search alerts.

  2. Job Level: Choose the most appropriate job level to clearly define the seniority or experience level required for the role.

Step Four - Salary and Benefits (Optional but Crucial)

  1. Salary: Including a salary range is optional but highly recommended. Statistics show that 91% of job seekers prioritize salary visibility when browsing job listings. Being transparent about compensation could significantly boost interest and applications from potential candidates. Learn more about pay transparency in our ebook.

  2. Benefits: Highlighting the benefits associated with the position can enhance jobseeker engagement. We place selected benefits prominently at the beginning of your job posting to capture jobseeker attention immediately.

Finalizing Your Job Posting

Step Five: Method of Application

Determine how you wish to receive applications: directly on CareerBeacon via Email and our Candidate Manager for a seamless experience, or guide jobseekers to your Career Site or Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Opt for 'Quick Apply on CareerBeacon' and enter the email address to receive applications directly, or choose 'Receive applicants through your own website' and provide the URL to direct applicants to your application process.

Step Six: Optional Additional Details for Enhanced Screening

  1. Screening Questions: This feature is only available if you choose ‘Quick Apply on CareerBeacon.’ Accelerate your applicant screening process by selecting up to five (5) screening questions. Use our curated list or craft your own to understand your candidates better right away.

  2. Additional Settings:

    1. Multiple Vacancies: If the role has several openings, specify the total number of positions available.

    2. Competition Number: For easy tracking, you may assign a custom Competition Number to your job posting.

    3. Expiry Date: Job postings automatically expire after 30 days, but you may also set a specific closing date within the 30 days to tailor to your recruitment timeline.

Final Step: Publish Your Job Posting

Here, you'll finalize and publish your job on CareerBeacon.

Every job begins as a Standard Job Posting. However, for added visibility, consider upgrading to a Featured Job Posting. This ensures your job is prominently highlighted at the top of search results for 14 days, increasing its visibility to jobseekers.

You're now ready to check out and publish your job live on CareerBeacon!

Now that your job is LIVE, maximize its reach by sharing the posting on your social media platforms.
