Job ads and publishing to job boards

Writing an ad, multiposting, and what needs our configuration.

Written by Maciej Michalewski

You create an ad in the Job ads tab of a project. From one piece of content you can publish the offer to several places at once.

Where the ad goes

Element publishes to a dozen or so channels — among them your own career page, Pracuj.pl, OLX, Praca.pl, Aplikuj.pl, GoWork, No Fluff Jobs, JustJoin and LinkedIn. Some boards have their own fields and paid options, which you set at publication time.

To publish an ad, click its location or creation date in the list. The "Job offers" panel opens with the available services, and you click + next to the chosen service.

Before you publish

Check two things:

  • The position name from the project description — that is what goes into the ad, not the project name.

  • The GDPR consents configured in the project — they appear in the form the candidate sees.

In the "Create Job Ad" window, the "Job offer name" field is already filled with the position name from the project description.

When publishing to JustJoin.it or RocketJobs there is one more thing: if you enter the recruiting company's name, enter its information clause too. With an empty clause the form warns you that JustJoin will use the default clause of the account you publish from, meaning the agency's clause, not that of the company you named.

We configure the board accounts

Job board integrations need your company's credentials and are configured by the Element team. If a board is missing from the list, or publishing ends in an error, it is usually a configuration matter on our side rather than a setting in the interface.

Publishing to LinkedIn

LinkedIn needs two things: your company details entered in Element and one setting on your company's LinkedIn page. Element does not need your LinkedIn login.

In Element

  1. In the "Job offers" panel, click + next to LinkedIn (tooltip "Send Job Ad"). If LinkedIn is not on the list of services, write to us and we will switch it on.

  2. In the "Publish Your job offer on LinkedIn" window, enter the LinkedIn Company ID (the numeric ID of your company page, how to find it), the company name, the country and the e-mail of the person publishing, plus the publication start and end dates (30 days from today by default). You can skip the optional fields.

  3. Confirm. Element remembers the Company ID, company name and country and fills them in for your next ads, but you send each ad to LinkedIn separately.

On LinkedIn

For the ads to show on your company page, its Super Admin has to allow jobs from an external applicant tracking system (ATS). Without it LinkedIn accepts the ads but does not display them on the page.

  1. Log in to LinkedIn as a Super Admin of the company page and open https://www.linkedin.com/company/NUMBER/admin/settings/jobs/, replacing NUMBER with your LinkedIn Company ID.

  2. Switch on "Enable basic job posting", which LinkedIn describes as automatically posting open roles from your ATS as basic jobs on your Company Page.

  3. If you are not a Super Admin, ask the person who is. LinkedIn does not let us check who that is.

What to expect

LinkedIn verifies your first ads, so they do not appear right away. The sooner you publish them, the sooner the verification goes through. Once the setting is on, the offers should be visible on the company page within a few hours, by the next day at the latest.

Boards without an integration

For a board that is not on the list you publish manually — just put an application link in the text, named so the source shows up in your report.

The career page

Besides job boards, Element provides a page listing your current offers. You can link to it from your company website.
