Create a Job: Define Basic Details (Step 1)

We’ll guide you step by step in creating an effective job posting.

Updated this week

Start creating a job by navigating to the "Jobs" section and clicking the blue "Create Job" button in the top right corner.


Define Basic Details

In the first step, you define the basic information for the new position and assign the relevant team members from your recruiting department.

Additionally, you can set up detailed evaluation criteria for internal applicant categorization and create custom mandatory questions that will be displayed in the candidate’s application form.


Basic Information

Enter the job details in the Basic Information section.

Start with a clear and descriptive job title, then select the relevant company (if applicable) and specify the job location.

Location

You can specify the location nationwide, by federal state, district, or down to the exact street address with house number. The level of detail helps candidates during location-based searches and ensures the map view on the job portal displays the correct location marker—provided this option is activated.

Work Model

You also have the option to specify the work model—on-site, hybrid, or remote (home office).

Target Group

By defining the target group, you specify whether the job posting should be visible only externally, only internally, or to both audiences.

If you choose both external and internal publication, you have the option to set a publishing delay—for example, to make the external posting go live a certain time after the internal one.


Classification

The Classification section is based on a catalog system. The default catalog entries are optimized for maximum visibility across major job boards. Candidates can use filters during their job search to easily find relevant job postings based on these classifications.

The language setting determines in which language predefined elements will appear—such as buttons and links in the job posting, as well as communication through automated notifications like application confirmations and other system-generated emails related to this job.


Job Team

Assemble your job team by adding colleagues who should have access to job activities and applications. Assign appropriate roles to each team member.

The person creating the job is automatically set as the Job Owner. If enabled, the Job Owner will appear as the contact person on the job posting.

Once additional team members are added via the “Add existing colleagues” drop-down menu, the Job Owner role can be reassigned by clicking on the respective colleague.

You can grant system access to new colleagues using the “Invite colleagues” option.


Salary Information

Salary information can be added optionally. Once provided, it will be visible not only on Google for Jobs but also across all connected channels and platforms that support salary details.

You can pause the job creation process at any time by clicking “Save & Close” at the bottom of the screen. The job will be saved as a draft in your job overview, allowing you to continue editing it later from the same point.

When you proceed to the next step using the “Next” button, your progress will be saved automatically. You can return to the previous step at any time by clicking the “Back” button.
