Jobs and careers pageUpdated

Post your first job

Create a job, add must-have and nice-to-have keywords, set screening questions and publish it to your careers page and the XML feed in about ten minutes.

Steps

  1. 1Go to Jobs and choose New job.
  2. 2Fill in the title, department, location, employment type and salary range. Salary is optional but Google for Jobs and Indeed rank posts with pay higher.
  3. 3Write the description. Plain paragraphs and short bullet lists read best on phones, which is where most applicants are.
  4. 4Add must-have keywords (skills or credentials a candidate cannot do without) and nice-to-have keywords (things that make a candidate stronger).
  5. 5Add screening questions. Mark a question as a knockout and set the expected answer if a wrong answer should sink the applicant.
  6. 6Save as draft to review, or choose Publish. Published jobs appear on your careers page within a minute and in the XML feed on its next refresh.

A job in Apex is both the posting applicants see and the scoring rubric that ranks them. Spending five extra minutes on keywords and knockouts pays back every time a new application arrives, because the strongest applicants sort themselves to the top.

Choosing keywords

  • Use the words a candidate would actually write on a resume: CDL-A, RN, ServSafe, forklift, QuickBooks.
  • Add common variants as separate keywords (Registered Nurse and RN). Matching is case-insensitive and whole-word.
  • Keep must-haves short. Three to six is typical. Everything else is a nice-to-have.

Job status

Draft jobs are private. Open jobs accept applications and count toward your plan's open role limit. Paused jobs stay visible to your team but are hidden from the careers page and feed. Closed jobs keep their applicants and history and can be reopened.
