Usage locations
In d.vinci applicant management, benefits can be stored as master data and selected in publications or publication templates. They are then displayed in the job posting. -
Icon display
For visual representation, d.vinci uses the free version of Font Awesome. Icons must be selected from the following page: https://fontawesome.com/v5/search?m=free -
Benefit order
The benefits are sorted alphabetically upon creation. Custom sorting is not possible. -
Selection
Benefits can be inserted as placeholders in the job posting template. When benefits are selected in a publication, they are automatically displayed in the job posting.- Publication - Benefits: Displays benefits with an icon, name, and description in the applicant portal or on your website. StepStone does not support this placeholder.
- Publication - Benefits (List): Displays benefits in the applicant portal or on your website. StepStone also supports this placeholder, but without icons.
-
Display in job boards
Some job boards (e.g., StepStone) do not support benefit icons. In these cases, the "Publication - Benefits (List)" placeholder should be used. -
Filtering
Filtering by benefits is not possible. -
Reporting
Evaluating benefits in reporting is not possible. -
Changes
The name and icon of benefits can be changed at any time.
Changes to the organizational unit of a benefit are not possible. If you wish to change the organizational unit, we kindly ask you to copy the benefit and select the new organizational unit in the copy before saving. -
Deletion
Benefits can be deleted at any time. If a benefit you delete is being used in a publication, it will remain there. However, it can no longer be selected for new publications.
How our customers use this
Our customers create many different benefits and usually use the "Publication - Benefits (List)" placeholder to ensure consistent display.
-
Using Benefit Sets
Ideally, these should be stored in publication templates so that they do not have to be added manually for each publication. Publication templates include standard benefits that the company always offers, such as training programs, health management, and modern office spaces. Additionally, specific benefits can be added for different job types, such as a company phone or company car. -
Defining fixed benefits
Alternatively, benefits can be integrated directly into the job posting templates, removing the selection option in the publication. However, this reduces flexibility, as benefits can then only be defined at the job posting template level and not at the publication level.
