Multiple job templates
Available on Compliance plans
The job template sets the framework for jobs using that template. If you need different layouts, logos, guidelines, or settings for various types of jobs, you can create special templates. For example, you might want distinct templates for different subsidiaries, for hourly versus salaried positions, or for executive roles.
Designate one template as the default. When creating a job, the default is preselected, but users have the option to choose any template that’s turned on in your site. It's also possible to change the template a job is based on after it’s been created. Follow the steps in this article to learn how to manage job templates.
Job description vs job post templates
Every job description template is linked to a corresponding job post template. A job description template can’t be turned on and used unless you’ve associated a job post template. While a single job post template can be linked to multiple job description templates, there’s also the option to create multiple job post templates.
