Take advantage of the micro job board included with Recruit So Simple to post vacancies to your social media and make it easy for Google Jobs to find and list your vacancies.

Job Board

The Job Board is a simple, yet modern, mobile-friendly website, that’s hosted and designed by us. It comes with a basic keyword search, a ‘save job’ feature, and an apply page. Sharing your jobs across social media (LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter), via email – or by simply sharing a link, is incredibly straightforward. The Job Board also comes with automatic Google Jobs integration.

Google Jobs

Jobs are automatically shared to Google Jobs behind the scenes. To have the best chances of appearing in search results you should aim to fill in as much information as possible. Jobs missing either a location, or a detailed job description (less than 250 characters) will not be included.

We have no control over which jobs Google decides to index or how long it takes, however jobs usually appear within a few days of being posted. To help stay within Google’s guidelines, jobs posted over 30 days ago will not be shared with Google. Removing the job from the job board and then re-posting it, will reset the ‘posted date’ and give you another 30 days.

Registration Terms (Optional)

Settings > System Settings > Web > Advanced

Registration terms can easily be added to the application form if required. Once added, candidates will be required to agree to your chosen terms before submitting the application . This can be useful for confirming/explaining lawful basis in regards to GDPR.

To enable this feature, select Enable Terms, enter your required text, and then click Save. Once a candidate is added to the database, the registration terms will be included in the notes field on the candidate. This helps provide a record of what was agreed and when.

When sharing jobs via social media, each link contains an identifier associated with that site. This is then used to track which sites your visitors are coming from.

‘Other’ shows direct visits that have come from elsewhere, for example from a search engine result or a direct link.
