Add custom fields to jobs

Types of job properties

Job properties display metadata on job descriptions and can be used to filter jobs. We offer the following default properties which you can customize or turn off if they’re not useful for your organization.

• Job group

• Job code

• Job levels

• Job type

• Last published

• Locations

• Reports to

• Salary

In addition to using our defaults, you can also create your own custom properties. Perhaps you want to indicate whether a job requires a criminal record check, or sort jobs by their FLSA status. There are three types of properties you you can create:

• Alphanumeric: Any combination of number and letters can be entered on a job.

• Multi-select: Define a list of options; one can be selected on a job.

• Single-select: Define a list of options; multiple can be selected on a job.
