Posting a job to your careers page

Putting a job live, sharing the link, branding and connecting it to your website

Written by Luke Pitkin

Get a job live on your careers page in about a minute.

Hey! Luke here, founder of Giig 👋

Once your job's in Giig, putting it on your careers page is literally one click. No copying the advert into some other system, no logging into three websites. Here's how to put it live, share the link, make the page look like yours and hook it up to your own website.

Putting a job live

  1. Open the job and stay on the Job Details tab

  2. Under Display on careers page?, click Yes

  3. Choose what happens with the salary under Show job salary on careers page?: Yes, Display Salary, No, Hide Salary, Upper Salary Only or Lower Salary Only

  4. Check your Description. Whatever formatting you use in there is exactly how the advert looks on your careers page

That's it. The job now says Published & Live next to the View On Careers Page button, top right.

💡 Pro tip: paste your job description in as plain text first, then format it in Giig. Pasting straight from Word brings all sorts of weird formatting with it.

How many jobs can I have live?

It depends on your plan, and it's how many are live at the same time, not how many you post each month:

  1. Free: 3 jobs

  2. Giig Starter: 10 jobs

  3. Giig Plus and Giig AI: unlimited

You can see how many you're using under Jobs Advertised On Your Careers Page in Careers Page Settings. Take a job off the careers page and the space frees up straight away.

Sharing the apply link

  1. On the job, click the small Copy Link To Careers Page icon, right next to View On Careers Page

  2. Paste it wherever you like: LinkedIn, WhatsApp, an email to a candidate, your gran's Facebook group

The job has to be on your careers page first, otherwise there's nothing to link to. Anyone who applies drops straight into Giig. You'll find them under Careers Page in the left-hand menu, then New Applicants.

Making it look like yours

  1. Click the settings (gear) icon, top right, then Careers Page Settings

  2. Set your Banner Text, Banner BG Colour and Banner Text Colour, or drop in your own banner image under Upload New Banner Image

  3. Set the Header Button Label, Button Colour, Button Text Colour and Header Button Link (usually your website, and it needs the full address starting https)

  4. Hit Save, then click View Careers Page at the top to see how it looks

Your logo comes from Company Settings, not here. The strip behind the logo is always white, so a logo with a white background looks fine.

The client's name only shows on the advert if you write it into the description. If it's appearing and you don't want it to, check the company summary on that client's record, as that shows on every job you attach to them.

Connecting it to your website

You've got three options, from easiest to geekiest:

  1. Link to it. Add a "Jobs" or "Vacancies" button on your website that points at your careers page. On WordPress, change your Vacancies menu item to a Custom Link and paste in the address

  2. Embed it. Copy the code under Careers Page Widget at the bottom of Careers Page Settings and paste it into a page on your website as HTML. Your jobs appear right there on your own site

  3. Use the API. If you've got a developer and want full control over how jobs look, they can pull them in through the Giig API
