How do I set up the modern job advertisements? Do I have to use them? Does that mean the old layouts are no longer important?

In this article, you will learn how applicant tracking systems, Career Site Pro, standard layouts, and modern job advertisements are interconnected.

First things first:

The job creation process remains unchanged.

You create your jobs in the applicant management system as usual.

Career Site Pro automatically imports the content and displays it using the modern job ad design. There is no need to create the job twice.

How are jobs linked to modern job ad designs?

The standard layout is the key factor.

To ensure a job appears with the correct modern job ad design, two settings must be configured:

1. Career Site Pro:

A standard layout is assigned to a modern job ad design.

2. Applicant management system:

The appropriate standard layout is selected when creating a job.

The job will only appear in the desired modern layout if both steps are completed.


Assigning a default layout when creating a modern job advertisement

In the "Modern Job Ads" section, you can create and manage additional designs.

  1. Click the ⊕ icon.

  2. Select the standard layout you want to link to the new modern job ad.

Important to note:

  • Each modern job ad is permanently linked to a standard layout.

  • The name of the modern job ad always matches the name of the standard layout.

  • This ensures a clear structure and reduces errors, especially when dealing with many layouts.

You cannot create a modern job advertisement without an existing standard layout.

Publishing a job using the modern job ad format

Don’t worry: You don’t need to memorize complex layout mappings.

The name of the modern job ad format always matches the name of the standard layout. This allows you to see at a glance which design is being used.

You can then customize the modern job ad—for example, to align with your corporate identity.

Step-by-step

1. Create a job in the applicant management system

Create a new job as usual, including the title, description, and requirements.

2. Select a layout

In the "Description" section, select the appropriate template layout from the list under "Job ad layout."

The selected standard layout automatically determines which modern job advertisement is displayed on the Career Site Pro.

With the selected template layout, you determine which modern job advertisement design is used on the Career Site Pro.

In the preview, you only see the basic layout, not the linked modern job posting. The final design appears only after publication.

Publish Job

Publish the job in the applicant management system. It is automatically transferred to the Career Site Pro. After a short time, you can open it using the icon next to the job title.

What should you set up first?

Before creating various modern job ad designs, you should first configure the standard version.

Standard version of the modern job advertisement

This is the special case. There is no need to link a standard layout from the applicant management system here.

If all job advertisements are to appear in the same style, setting up just this standard version is sufficient.

As long as no custom modern job advertisement is defined, the standard version is used automatically.

Tip

If you want to create multiple designs with slight variations, you can duplicate an existing layout.

The following options are available via the three-dot menu:

  • Duplicate job layout

  • Settings: delete, deactivate, or change assignment

  • Change template

You can adjust the assignment of a modern job advertisement to a layout template at any time via the three-dot menu.

If you do not currently need a modern job posting, you can deactivate it.

It remains saved and can be reactivated and used at any time.


New Application Form

If you use modern job ads, your application form should match them—this ensures the application process looks consistent and professional.

Create the new application form to align with the modern job ad.

They are linked via the same layout.

Benefit:

Unlike the standard application form, you can set a unique application form for each modern job ad.

To display the modern design, you must activate it in the settings: Settings → Job Ads & Application Form.


SEO Note (Online Search)

To prevent standard job postings from appearing on Google and similar sites, you must disable indexing.

In the applicant management system, disable:

  • the standard career portal

  • basic job postings for search engines

They will automatically disappear from search results after a short time.

Path: Settings → Job Boards → Search Engines
