Create and publish a listing

A listing is the candidate-facing page for a job: what shows up on your career page and the public job board. You don’t write it from scratch. Staffer generates it from the brief, and you edit from there.

​

Generate the listing

​

Edit the listing

Click directly on the title, tagline, or body to edit them. The body is a block editor, so you write it in sections rather than one long paragraph. Listing edits don’t save as you type. Editing marks the listing unsaved and shows Save (and Discard) in the toolbar, and nothing is kept until you click Save: it changes to Saving, then Saved. If you reload the tab before saving, the edit is still there when the page comes back. It’s held in your browser, not on Staffer’s side, until you save it. You can also ask the agent to make a specific change from the job’s chat (“make the tagline shorter”, “add a line about our benefits”). In Ask permission mode it asks first (“I’d like to rewrite the listing.”). In Auto mode it rewrites it right away. For a full regenerate from the current brief, use Re-draft from brief instead. If the agent saves a change while you have unsaved edits, Staffer keeps your version on screen, shows that a newer version exists, and asks you once whether to keep your edits or see the update. You can change the Apply button’s text in the primary language only. Re-draft from brief and Sync translations reset it.

​

Re-draft from brief

Open the … menu and click Re-draft from brief (it reads Generate from brief until the listing has content). It rewrites the named listing’s title, tagline, body and Apply button text for every language, from the current brief. It leaves the publish status, the Anonymous client switch, the link and the map setting as they were. If the listing is anonymous, check the confidential copy after a re-draft. See Anonymous listings. You can’t re-draft, edit, or publish a listing while its job is closed. See Close, reopen or delete a job.

​

Add a language and translate

The listing picks up its languages from the job’s Brief tab, not from here. Add a language under the brief’s Languages field and it shows up in the Listing tab’s language picker. The first language in that list is the primary language, marked with a star. To work in another language, click the language button above the listing (it shows the current language’s flag and name) and pick one under Edit listing in. Each language keeps its own draft. To translate the primary language’s saved copy into every other language, open the … menu and click Sync translations from followed by your primary language. This overwrites the other languages, and it only runs once the primary language has a saved body. Your company name and logo aren’t translated. They’re the same in every language, pulled from the workspace rather than the listing text.

​

Publish and unpublish

Publish puts the listing on the public job board and, unless it’s anonymous, your career page. Unpublish takes it off the board and turns it back into a draft you can keep editing. Both take effect immediately. Once published, the … menu shows View listing (opens the public page) and Copy listing link. The URL is jobs.staffer.com/companies/your-workspace/listing-name, or jobs.staffer.com/jobs/listing-id for an anonymous listing. After you close the job, both menu items disappear, even though the listing stays visible for the grace period. The same menu has two switches that change the public page:

• Anonymous client hides your company. It saves as soon as you switch it. See Anonymous listings.
• Show map shows the job’s location on a map. Click Save afterwards to apply it. Your own preview always shows the map.

​

Who can do this

Members, admins and owners can generate, edit and publish a listing. Viewers and reviewers can look at it but can’t change it. Generating, re-drafting and syncing translations use credits, for each language. Saving your own edits, publishing and unpublishing don’t.
