Creating and managing a job in the mobile apps

When utilizing our mobile app, you have the ability to create, edit and publish jobs on the go. Only users with job creation permission will be able to use this feature (Admins and standard access members)

• If you are not collaborating in any active job start by clicking Create a new job under the Jobs section of the Workable app dashboard
• If you are collaborating in at least one active job the same button will appear within the job list

You are now ready to publish a job in just five steps!

• Add a job title
• Add the location
• Add a job description
• Set up the application form
• Publish your job

Add a job title

• Upon typing, you will see a drop-down list with all the available job titles.
• You can either select one of the suggested titles and proceed to the next step or type your own title. 
• The character limit is 80 characters. 

Add the location

• Upon typing, you will see a dropdown list with all available locations based on what you've typed
• Select one location from the list in order to proceed to the next step. Note: You won't be able to type a custom location and save it as an option.
• If this is a fully remote job, make sure you switch the toggle to ON and include the address of your head office as the location. Location can be mandatory for some job boards so it can’t be left blank, even if the job is remote.

Add a job description

In this step, we may suggest one or more relevant job description templates that match your job title. 

• Use a template and edit it based on your needs or
• Write your own description from scratch 

Next, import common benefits based on the job location or type your own.  

A rich text editor will be available with the following functionalities: Headings, Bold, Italics, Insert image & link.  

Set up the application form

• Note: Adding extra custom questions is not currently supported via the mobile app. 

Publish your job

Publish your job right away or click Select job status to post it as an internal/confidential job. 

 

Admin users

Once you click 'Publish your job' you will see a success page together with the job's publish status:

• Your jobs will be available right away on your Workable careers page
• For free job boards, the job will enter the review queue, where our experienced specialists will check it so that matches the job posting guidelines. The review will usually only take a few hours and will be expedited once your jobs consistently pass the review process.
• Job board initialization steps will be available only via desktop

Standard access users

Once you click 'Publish your job' you will be prompted to send a publish request to an admin user. Once the admin approves the publication request the job will follow the same path as explained above. 

In the upper right of a job, click on the three dots for job functions including editing, changing status, archiving, and leaving. 

• Change job status
• Edit job
• Archive 
• People Search
• Leave job

Change job status

Change the job status depending on your hiring needs. You can switch back and forth between job statuses. The only exception is that you can't transition from Published to Used Confidentially right away; you will need to make the transition Published -> Used Internally -> Used Confidentially. 

 

Edit job

You can edit active jobs and click Update to publish the changes. Note: It can take 6-24 hours for the changes to be visible across all job boards. The mobile app only shows job title, location and description fields. The below fields are editable only on desktop:

• Department
• Company industry
• Job function
• Employment details
• Annual salary
• Custom questions & custom fields

 

Archive job

You can archive your job when the hiring process is over. When archiving a job, candidate data will be kept intact, but candidates will be in 'read-only' mode. It will not be possible to interact with candidate profiles.

 

People Search

This function will redirect you to People Search - search for skills, job titles or names and People Search automatically scours millions of profiles from multiple data sources in real time. 

 

Leave job

If you do not wish to be part of the hiring process, remove yourself from the hiring team. By taking this action, you will stop receiving any notifications related to candidates under the position.
