How Do I Create an Additional Modern Layout for a Job?

In this article, you'll learn how to create an additional modern layout on Career Site Pro.

If you want to use your own layout for certain areas, for example with different images or a different design, you can create an additional modern layout.

This makes sense if you want to visually differentiate different areas of activity.


Structure of the Job Advertisement

Every job advertisement consists of two components:

  1. Content

    The individual advertisement text (e.g. description, tasks, requirements).

  2. Layout

    The graphic design such as images, colors and structure.

You can customize the layout without changing the ad text.


Select a Layout

In the second step of creating a job, you choose a layout.

If multiple jobs use the same layout, the same images and design elements are displayed for all of them.

If you want to use your own modern layout for a specific job, three steps are necessary:

Step 1: Create a new standard layout in the applicant management system

  1. Open softgarden.

  2. Go to Settings → Customization → Job Ads.

All standard layouts are managed here.

They are available independently of the career site Pro.

How to create a new default layout

  1. Select an existing layout from the list.

  2. Click “Copy.”

  3. Customize the layout, e.g. E.g. replace a picture or assign a new title (e.g. “Chef”, “Sales” or “IT”).

  4. Click Save Changes to make the layout available for new jobs.

Step 2: Make the standard layout in the career site Pro modern

In order for your new layout to appear as a modern job advertisement, you must configure it in the Career Site Pro construction kit.

  1. Open the Career Site Pro builder: https://app.career.softgarden.de/dashboard#tab=home

  2. Scroll to the “Modern Job Ads” section.

  3. Click the plus symbol at the end of the list.

  4. Choose a design template.

  5. Then select the standard layout from step 1 and confirm.

The layout now appears in the list of modern job advertisements.

Adjust layout and publish

  1. Click on the title of the new layout.

  2. Open the builder and edit elements using the pencil icon (e.g. images, colors, texts).

  3. Click “Publish” at the top right so that the layout can be used.

Step 3: Create a new job with the new layout

For jobs that have already been published, the layout cannot be changed subsequently for technical reasons.

How to use your new layout

  1. Create a new job

    or open an existing job and copy it using the three dots in the top right.

  2. In the second step of job creation, you select your new layout.

As soon as you publish the job and use the career site Pro, the job advertisement automatically appears in the new, modern design.
