Employers & companies
Add employers in the admin, or let users create company profiles in the jobs account.
Employers are the companies behind the jobs. Each job belongs to one employer. Employers have their own page on the board and appear on the Employers screen (/jobs/employers/) and in the Featured employers row of the board home.
Adding employers in the admin#
Open Employers in the Content group of the Jobs panel sidebar, and add company names, logos and websites.
Companies from the jobs account#
Signed-in users add companies under My companies in the jobs account (Add a company). The form asks for:
| Field | Required |
|---|---|
| Company / brand name | Yes |
| Full company name | Yes |
| Registration number | Yes |
| VAT number | No |
| Address, City, Country, Postcode | Yes |
| About the company | No |
| Website, LinkedIn page | No |
| Contact person: Full name, E-mail, Phone | Yes |
| Logo (JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP, up to 2 MB) | No |
A new company also needs the user’s consent before it is saved. The user who adds a company becomes its owner and can then post job ads for it. Job ads can only be posted for the user’s own companies, and only while the company is active.
Following a company#
Employer pages have a Follow company button. It creates a job alert “New jobs at …” that e-mails the user right away when the company publishes a new job. Click it again (Following) to stop. Guests are asked to sign in first.
