Managing the Careers page site builder

Workable's careers page site builder provides the customization and flexibility to make the careers page your own. Use templates to set the style, add images, track activity with Google Analytics, and design the layout with the branding you want.

Invite team members to work on the page design in a user-friendly builder - no coding required. They'll be able to update the page design but won't have access to candidates or other Workable data. Access these options under the Settings menu in your user icon.

By default, the link to your careers page will be: apply.workable.com/[subdomain]. The subdomain is usually your company's name.

💡To have your page hosted on your own website (e.g., at careers.companyname.com), contact your Account Manager and check more details here.

Careers page settings

Go to the Careers Page settings under your user icon to manage the page.

Careers page overview

If you're just setting things up for the first time, just create your first job and a careers page will be created automatically. At the top of the page, you can see:

Preview of the careers page's header
Last person to edit, including the timestamp
Number of published jobs
When the last job was published

Use the buttons that appear to edit or view the page.

Analytics options

You have the option to use one or more of our analytics features if you wish. More specifically, you can:

Receive Google Analytics tracking throughout the careers page.
Add a tracking pixel to receive analytics upon successful applications through your pixel provider.

If you don't choose to do either of these options, Workable still automatically reports on information like the source of the candidate.

Careers page editors

At the bottom of the Careers Page section, invite editors who should have access to build the careers page. They will be able to edit and manage the branding components, add content, and publish new versions. Super Admins always have access to edit the page. See more about how this works.

Note: Careers page editors are managed entirely separately from account members. If a user is deactivated as a careers page member, they retain any account access granted to them if they are also an account member.

Editing your careers page

To begin setting up your page (or when making changes), follow the outline below.

Update the Styles for the overall look of the page
Add sections like Testimonials, Image galleries, Benefits, etc.
Edit each section individually with custom text and images
Save or publish changes before exiting the editor

Builder user interface

Use the buttons in the header and click on or between sections to start making edits.

Styles: Set the overall page design. Click a color box to see a color picker.

Undo/Redo: Use the left and right arrows in the top bar to undo or redo changes. Changes are only stored for that one editing session. If you close the browser or tab, then you will not be able to undo changes with the button. The changes made once you leave the page are saved as the current draft, even if not published.
Save / Preview page: Save your work and see a draft version (for desktop, tablet, and mobile) with all current changes before publishing.
Publish: Set the current version you've edited live. Changes will appear on the live version after a few minutes.
Edit section: The edit button opens a panel where you can update the section's layout, background color, or icons.

Add section: Hover between two sections to see a + button appear. Click it to choose a new section to add.
Move and delete: Select the three dots on a section to move its position on the page. Deleted sections can be recovered with the undo button but will be permanently lost if the page is closed.
Change language: If you have multiple language options, select which language version of the page to edit or publish.

Section types and examples

A variety of templated sections can be used to build out your careers page.

Header (required): This section always appears at the top of the careers page. Add a picture or select a background color. Choose if you want to display headings/descriptions.

Footer (required): This section always appears at the end of the page and is not directly editable. It contains information about GDPR/EEO based on your account settings, a link to your website, and a link to support help for candidates.

List of jobs (required): Edit details like the heading and description. Choose to include things like search functionality and general applications (Talent Pool).

Important: With the job search enabled, you must have at least 6 published jobs for the search bar to appear.

Image with text

Upload an image to be shown alongside custom text. This type of section can be used creatively to highlight anything where you'd include a supporting image. Adjust the image layout to be on the left or right.

To format the text (bold/italics/underline/link), highlight any part that you'd like to change, and a menu with formatting options will appear.

Paragraph

Paragraph sections are helpful for including information like the company's mission statement or a description of the culture.

To format the text (bold/italics/underline/link), highlight any part that you'd like to change, and a menu with formatting options will appear.

Testimonials: Testimonials can be used to add employee pictures and quotes. When using this type of section, try to include perspectives from a range of employees across departments.

Image Gallery: A gallery is best used for showing off company photos: office space or worksites, group employee photos, and products. Optionally, include a header and description.

Departments

Set up a dynamic list of departments that currently have published jobs. The departments shown, as well as the number of open jobs, will automatically update as you publish and unpublish jobs. You can also choose to hide or show specific departments when editing the section.

When a candidate clicks on a department, they'll be shown the jobs for that department.

Locations: Add office locations to this section. It's best to include a specific address so the candidate knows where you're located.

Benefits

In this section, create "tiles" for each major benefit you want to highlight. While most elements of this section are optional, we recommend including an icon, title, and description for each benefit. If you include an element in one benefit tile (e.g., an icon), that type of element must be included for all other tiles, too.

Select an icon and its style by clicking on it.

Video: Include a video about what your organization does and what it's like to work there. Add a video by pasting in a YouTube or Vimeo link to the video. Workable will embed it automatically.

Numbers

Highlight significant figures that are important to your organization and are compelling to prospective candidates.

Social Media: Add links to direct candidates to your social media pages: Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.
