Post job positions

After a job position has been created and configured, the next step is to share it, so that prospective applicants can apply.

Job positions can be shared on the company website or on job boards.

Publish to website

To publish a job listing on the company's website, first a setting must be enabled in the Recruitment app. Navigate to Recruitment app ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings, and enable the Online Posting option. Click the Save button after making any changes.

Catatan

The Online Posting is only available if the Website application is also installed.

Once the setting has been enabled, open the main Recruitment dashboard by navigating to Recruitment app ‣ Applications ‣ By Job Position. A toggle appears in the lower-left corner of every job position card, and indicates whether the role is Not Published or Published.

Click on the toggle to change the current state of the job position. When a job position is published, a green PUBLISHED banner appears in the top-right corner of the card.

To view the listing on the website, click the Job Page in the lower-right corner of the job card.

Post on job boards

Posting a job on a job board is an effective way to reach a wider audience, and attract more candidates.

Job board settings

To publish a job listing onto a job board outside of Odoo, first a setting must be configured in the Recruitment app. Navigate to Recruitment app ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings, and click Choose a Job Board.

This loads a page displaying the Recruitment Integration Monster module. Click Activate to install the module.

If the Recruitment Integration Monster module is already installed, no Activate button appears, only a Module Info button.

After the module is installed, the database reloads to the main dashboard. Open the Recruitment app, and navigate to Configuration ‣ Settings. A Monster Credentials section appears in the Job Posting section.

Enter the Username and Password for Monster in the corresponding fields, then click the Save button.

Publish on job board

Once the credentials have been configured for the job board, it is possible to post a job position. Navigate to the Recruitment app dashboard, and click # To Recruit on the desired job card.

Click the Publish on Job Board button, and a Publish on Job Board form loads in a pop-up window. Fill out the following information on the form:

  • Job: The name of the job position appears here by default, and cannot be modified.

  • Job Board: Using the drop-down menu, select the job board being posted to.

  • Apply Method: Click the desired radio button to determine how applicants apply for the position.

    • Send an Email: Select this for applicants to apply for the job via email.

    • Redirect to company's website: Select this for applicants to apply for the job via the company website.

  • Email or Job url: The selected Apply Method determines which field appears. The field is populated with the information from the job card, if available. Make any desired modifications to this field, for example enter a tracking url for the job board listing.

  • From and to: Using the calendar selector, select the date the list should be posted to the job board, in the From field. The to field says No Limit, by default. If the job position should be removed from the job board on a specific date, enter it in the second field.

  • Description tab: The description from the job card populates this tab, by default. Make any desired changes to it in this section. This is what appears on the job board.

    Tip

    Click the Generate Description ( AI) to use AI to edit or create the job description.

Once the listing is ready, click the Post button. After the post has been published to a job board, the page reloads to the Job Boards Posts page, and the new post appears in a Kanban card.

Job board emails

When posting job positions on a job board, like Indeed or LinkedIn, the job board posts the job position, and typically allows the website visitor to apply to the job directly from the job board.

When someone applies to a job directly from a job board, an email is sent to Odoo from a specific email address, such as jobs-listings@linkedin.com. The email uses regular expression (regex) rules, which are instructions to match text in the email, and map it to specific fields in Odoo.

When Odoo receives an email from the job board's corresponding email address, it runs the regex rule, and pulls applicant information from the email, when creating an applicant record.

Example

The regex rule for LinkedIn (emails received from: jobs-listings@linkedin.com) is New application:.*from (.*). This rule tells Odoo to capture everything after the word from when creating the applicant record.

An email subject of New application: Job ID 123 from John Doe will capture John Doe and create an applicant record for John Doe.

To view the currently configured job board emails, navigate to Recruitment app ‣ Configuration ‣ Emails. Three emails come preconfigured in the database; for LinkedIn, Jobsdb, and Indeed.

Create job board emails

To create a new job board email, navigate to Recruitment app ‣ Configuration ‣ Emails. Click the New button, and a blank Emails form loads.

Enter the Name for the platform, such as Glassdoor, in the corresponding field. Next, enter the email address the applications will come from, in the Email field. Last, enter the regex rules in the corresponding field.

View job board listings

To view all the job positions that have been posted to a job board, navigate to Recruitment ‣ Applications ‣ Job Boards Posts. This presents the Job Boards Posts dashboard and all job board postings.

Each listing is displayed in an individual Kanban card, with the following information:

  • Job Board Icon: the icon for the job board where the listing is posted.

  • Job Board Listing Title: the job position title and job board name.

  • From: the date the listing was published.

  • To: the date the listing will be removed from the job board.

  • User Icon: the icon of the user who posted the listing.

Click on any Kanban card to view the details for the specific job board listing.
