Turn it on
1
Open the listing's more menu
On the job’s Listing tab, open the … menu.
2
Turn on Anonymous client
Switch on Anonymous client. It saves straight away. Staffer writes a separate confidential version of the title, tagline and body from the brief, without your company knowledge. The first time, the tab shows “Writing a confidential version…” while it drafts, one language at a time.
3
Read the confidential copy
Read the whole draft before you publish. Staffer only checks for your workspace name. It doesn’t catch product names, customers, your website or anything you type yourself.
4
Check the map
The map and location still show on an anonymous listing. If the address would give you away, turn off Show map and click Save.
What changes on the public page
- No cover photo, logo, company name or brand color. The page starts with the role.
- The URL changes shape. A named listing is
jobs.staffer.com/companies/your-workspace/listing-name. An anonymous one isjobs.staffer.com/jobs/listing-id, so the link Staffer gives you doesn’t include your workspace name. - The apply form says “this employer” instead of your name, and the confirmation email doesn’t name your company.
- The listing is left out of name and company search on the public board. Candidates can only find it by matching the anonymous text itself.
- It never appears on your own career page, published or not, since that page is inherently tied to your company.
How the anonymous text is checked
Staffer removes your company’s name from the brief before drafting, and tells the AI to describe you only by category (“a Nordic fintech scale-up”), never by name, brand, product or website. It then scans the draft for your workspace name and replaces any mention with “a confidential client” or “the company”. That scan only looks for your workspace name, and only when Staffer writes the draft. It won’t catch a product name, a customer or your website, or text you add later by hand or through the agent.If the anonymous version doesn’t exist yet
Turning on Anonymous client writes the confidential copy automatically. Until it exists, you’ll see a banner: “No confidential copy yet.” The public page doesn’t load until the copy exists. It never falls back to the named version.Turning it off
Switching Anonymous client off shows your named listing again. Nothing is deleted: Staffer keeps both versions, and switching back shows the confidential copy as you left it. Generating, editing and publishing an anonymous listing use the same permissions and credits as any other listing. See Create and publish a listing.Common questions
If the draft would give away my company's name, does Staffer refuse to publish it?
If the draft would give away my company's name, does Staffer refuse to publish it?
No. It replaces your workspace name with “a confidential client” or “the company” and lets you publish. It doesn’t catch other details that could identify you, so read the copy yourself.
Can candidates find my anonymous listing by searching my company name?
Can candidates find my anonymous listing by searching my company name?
No. Search on the public board only matches an anonymous listing’s own anonymous text, never your real name.
Does turning anonymous mode off and back on lose my confidential draft?
Does turning anonymous mode off and back on lose my confidential draft?
No. Both versions are kept. Switching only changes which one the tab shows and which one is public.
