Linking staff to an internal job page

Since internal jobs won’t appear on public job boards, you will need to provide a link to the staff directing them to the job page where they can apply.

Save job as draft

While in the process of creating a job, you have the option to save it as a draft, so you can exit and complete it later. 
  1. When Creating a Job, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save Draft (you have to fill out at least the first section before you can do this; any information can be edited later).
  2. You can now exit the page without information being lost. 

Editing a job

Whether the job has been published, or is still a draft, you're able to go back an edit it if you want to make changes.
