Once you have logged into the Thrive portal, select Job Board from the Talent Exchange dropdown on the left-hand side menu.
From the Job Board page, you have two options to create a new job post:
Create Job Post - Select this option to either type a new job post from the beginning, or copy and paste from another document.
Upload Existing Job Post - Select this option to upload a job description from your files.
Create Job Post
Select Create Job Post and begin by entering details into the fields:
How should candidates apply?: Choose Apply on Thrive to have candidates apply directly through Thrive (see What is Apply on Thrive? for more), Job Application URL to direct them to an external link, or Contact Email to direct them to apply by email.
Enter your job description into the Job Description field or copy and paste from an existing one (and edit if needed).
Thrive Tip: Skills are used within Thrive to help match candidates to the role, with Required Skills being the must-have qualifications and Desired Skills being additional strengths that can help identify top candidates.
Once you have entered all of the details of your job post, you can either select:
Preview - to see how your job post will look. You can return from the Preview to edit your post.
Save & Publish Later - to come back and continue working on it later.
Publish - to publish your post immediately.
Upload Existing Job Post
Select Upload Existing Job Post and click on Select File to upload a job description from your files.
Depending on the information in your file, there may be fields that are automatically populated. Complete any blank fields as needed:
You have the option of selecting View Uploaded Document to refer to the original job description.
Review and edit your job description as needed.
Thrive tip: Review the key skills that were automatically parsed from your job description, which you can use to find candidates by matching with their skills. You can add to or delete these parsed skills to find a better candidate match.
Once you have entered and edited all of the details of your job post, you can either select:
Preview - to see how your job post will look. You can return from the Preview to edit your post.
Save & Publish Later - to come back and continue working on it later.
Publish - to publish your post immediately.
You now have the step-by-step written instructions to guide you through the process. To make things even clearer, we’ve also created a short how-to video. The video below walks you through the steps, so you can follow along visually and see exactly how it’s done. Whether you prefer reading instructions or watching a demonstration, you’ll have both options at your fingertips 😁
What happens when I publish my job post?
Once you publish your job post, Thrive automatically creates a Pipeline for it, so you don't need to set one up separately. Publishing also triggers our Candidate Match feature, which scans the Thrive talent pool for jobseekers whose skills and experience align with your posting and adds them to the Candidate Match tab within that Pipeline.
To learn more about how matched candidates are scored and what to do with them, see How does Candidate Match work?.
How do I manage candidates who have applied?
Once a candidate applies to your job posting through Apply on Thrive, they'll appear in the Applied tab of that role's Pipeline. From there, you have a few options for managing them:
View – Opens the candidate's full profile.
Contact – Opens the Email Builder to message the candidate directly.
Follow Up – Flags the candidate to revisit later, moving them to the Follow Up tab.
Reject Candidate – Removes the candidate from consideration for this role.
Mark as Hired – Marks the candidate as hired for the position.
Remove Candidate – Removes the candidate from the Pipeline entirely.
