Tailor your own Job Posts
An applicant tracking system needs applicants; to get applicants, you need to advertise your open positions for them to apply; and, of course, you need to first write up a kick-ass post to be able to advertise.
So you might say nothing gets the recruitment ball rolling 🎳 like a well-prepared role write-up.
With Indigo Hiring's job post form, we've made this easy for you with a simple but detailed form that makes sure you include all the information you need your applicants to know, along with extras to tantalise them.
Getting Started
The fastest road to take when it's time to start on your first job post is clicking Create a New Job in the site header.
Top Tip: To avoid any toing and froing with colleagues, emails, documents and whatnot while filling in the form, make sure you've got all the information you need about the job handy before you begin. 😉
Other Paths
Other Paths
There are two other paths you can take to access the New Job form:
Via the Dashboard, in the My Jobs widget, click on the + New Job button.
Via Your Jobs in the site header, click on the + New Job button in the top right of the grid.
Both paths will take you to the Job Post creation form.
Filling in the Create a New Job form
The job form has several sections that can be divided as follows:
Job Details
Job Details
The Job Details section is split into 4 parts: the main information part at the top, followed by benefits, then salary information and finally the job description.
Main Information
Main Information
This is the home of the most crucial details of the post, which can be seen from the number of obligatory fields with a red asterisk (*) present.
Job Title: enter the name of the occupation.
Location: this is the location of the job. This can be at a country level or a locality level.
Workplace: this holds the options Remote, Hybrid, or Onsite.

You can then choose what kind of proficiency you'd like from the 'Select level' dropdown - Elementary, Limited working, Professional working, Full professional, and Native or bilingual proficiency.
Should you need more than one language here, go ahead and click the + Add language button.
