What are job lists?

Updated

With the job list, an overview of your job advertisements is displayed on any website and presented in your corporate design.

You can create different job lists according to your needs. For example, a list with only trainee job ads, one with IT jobs, one with only English-language entries, one with other jobs, and much more.

These benefits are offered by the job list

  • You can easily set the font, colors, background colors, and much more.
  • Use filters to help applicants find the right job faster.
  • If you have a specific target group or location in mind, you can create a job list with predefined filters, which will only display corresponding results.
  • The resulting JavaScript widget can be embedded on your website or any other website.
  • If an agency is responsible for your website, the code can alternatively be sent by e-mail.

In the Menu under Job lists, you will find the button + Create.

    • Button Archive selected
      If URLs are selected, you can archive them. Archived URLs cannot be restored. You can only view them so that you know on which pages which job lists were listed in the past. Archiving is only for a better overview.

    • URL
      The URL is the Internet address/website on which the job list is integrated. If you click on it, the page will open in a new tab.

      Attention 
      Pages that cannot be accessed externally, for example because they are password-protected, cannot be accessed here. However, we also provide you with measurement data such as the number of hits for these pages.

    • Application portal
      The application portal is listed here, from which the publications are displayed as job advertisements on the URL.
    • Views
      The number shows you how often the page was accessed in general. Not only by you from within the system, but also by external parties such as candidates. The starting point for the measurement is the release on 25.07.2024.
    • First documented view
      This shows you when the website on which the job list is integrated was accessed for the first time. The starting point of the measurement is the release on 25.07.2024.
    • Last Viewed
      This shows you when the website on which the job list is used was last accessed. The starting point of the measurement is the release on 25.07.2024.
    • State
      • New
        The job list on the website (URL) has been created using our job list function and uses the latest technology.    
      • Outdated
        The job list on the website (URL) uses old technology. It must be replaced by a new job list for the application portal. Either one that you have previously created or a new one that you create. If you have selected a new job list for the application portal, you must replace it on the website. To do this, copy the code of the job list and make it available to the people who manage your website. See also: Replace an outdated job list
      • You can use the boxes to select different URLs and mark them either by selecting them individually or by clicking the Select all button. The Archive selected button is then available.

  • Notes on configuring a new job list

    • Displayed Language
      The displayed language controls the language in which the job list is displayed.

      You can influence the behavior of the job list on your website: 

      • You do select a displayed language during the creation or editing of the job list 
        The job list will be displayed in the language selected as the displayed language. 
      • You do not select a displayed language during the creation or editing of the job list 

        • The language in which the job list is displayed will be determined by the language of the application portal.
          Achtung

          Attention 
          If you renamed the filter label in the job list, these will not be translated.
          For example, if you renamed the filter "Company" to "Firm," the label "Firm" will remain even if a different language is selected.

        • If you press the </> embed in website button, you can select a displayed language.
          The job list will only be displayed in that language on the website where the code is embedded.
          This allows you to display the same job list in multiple languages by adding a language parameter to the code before embedding it.
    • Font
      • Input of the font: The name of the font must be entered exactly as it is called/written. Otherwise, it will not be recognized.
      • Display of the font
        • In the preview, the job list is displayed with the browser's default fonts.
        • If you use your own font, this can only be displayed in our application portal once the font has been installed in our layout. Write to us, we will send you an offer for this.
        • If you use your own font, it can only be displayed on your website if the font is installed locally on your website.
    • Colour values: If you have not yet selected any colour values, you can tell by the icon behind the field for entering colour values.
    • Syllabification: Syllabification is performed according to the settings of the browser used and automatically breaks long names. If errors occur due to the hyphenation of the browser, it often helps to use other and possibly shorter words. It can also help to use a job list layout that makes longer entries possible, such as the list.
    • Limitation of the filter options: The information working times, contract period, and earliest possible start date from the results list cannot be shown or hidden as filters.
    • Back to the job list: If you have opened a job ad in the existing window in the preview, you can click on the "Refresh button" to return to the job list view.
    • Reset: The Reset button resets your changes to the last saved status. So save regularly to simply undo any changes that are inappropriate.
    • Code for the job list/integration on websites
      • A code is generated by your selections on the job list page. This code/the resulting JavaScript widget can be embedded on your or any other website.
      • The code can be called up via the button </> Embed in website. Here you will also find the option to send the code directly to other people by email. For example, to the agency that is responsible for your website.
      • It is possible that the email with the code will end up in your recipients' spam. We cannot influence this, but it is due to the security settings of your recipients' email providers. If you do not hear from the person who is supposed to embed the code in the website, please ask again whether the email has arrived.

      • Important 
        Each job list requires its own website on which it is inserted. If you insert several codes on one page, only the first job list will be displayed.

      • Changes that are made, saved, and published in the job list are directly visible on all pages on which the code has been integrated.

    • Error message at integration on websites

      In special constellations, your CMS may display an error message. For example, a Wordpress plugin recognized the code for the job list as unsafe and was no longer able to display the job list. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control. Please report these cases to us and we will check whether we can do anything about it.

How our customers use this

On provision of your system, we will design the job list so that it fits in with your corporate design. If you want to make changes afterwards, you can do this yourself on the page job lists.
Many of our customers create job lists for specific career pages. For example, a list in which only IT job advertisements are listed or all training positions.
