How our customers use this
Many customers configure their job list or widget so that applicants can filter by category. Additionally, some customers create extra career pages for job postings with a specific category. Through the widget pre-filtering, only job postings from that category are displayed. For example, separate career pages exist for IT, Marketing, or Healthcare.
