How do I use the "Jobs" feature?

What is the "Jobs" feature?

The Jobs feature functions like a job board where moderators and users can post open positions with the community, and other users can apply directly within the platform.

How do I create a job listing? 

For moderators:

1. Sign into your Startup Space account.
2. On the left side menu, open up 'My Community', then click 'Jobs'. 
3. Click 'Post Job' from the right hand corner. This will open up a fillable form.
4. Fill out the form with the information you have available.
   • Title: This is the title of the job or position you are creating.
   • Select Community Hub: This is where you’ll select your community. Only communities you are a moderator of will appear in this list. 
   • Description: This is where you enter the job description.
   • Company Name: This is where you provide the name of the company associated with the position.
   • Location: When entering location, there are two ways you can utilize this box. If you are within a local community sharing a local or remote position for other community members within that same community, use the location of your hub regardless of where the company is located. If you are within a larger national community, then use the location of the company itself. The reason this is important is because the jobs feature is driven by location APIs, meaning that community members will see jobs closest to their location. 
   • Can this job be done remotely?: A simple yes or no dropdown depending on the requirements of the position
   • Category: Use this field to categorize or classify the industry of the company or the position. This is an optional field.
   • Work Experience: Select how much work experience is required for the position. This is an optional field.
   • Compensation: You may include an hourly or annual range, negotiation details, or simply leave it blank. This is an optional field.
   • Who should we send a notification email to when a new response is received? Community members may inquire about the position directly on the platform. By including the email of the hiring personnel or company, they will receive notification when someone has applied for the position through Startup Space. 
5. Click 'Save' and the job will automatically appear on the jobs board. 

For users:

1. Sign into your Startup Space account.
2. On the left side menu, open up 'My Community' and click 'Jobs'. Please note: if you do not see a 'Jobs' option, this means your community moderators have not enabled this feature and you will be unable to access the jobs board in that community. 
3. Click 'Post Job' from the right hand corner. This will open up a fillable form.
4. Fill out the form with the information you have available.
   • Title: This is the title of the job or position you are creating.
   • Select Community Hub: This is where you’ll select your community. Only communities you are a member of will appear in this list. If you are only a member of one community, this selection might already default for you.
   • Description: This is where you enter the job description.
   • Company Name: This is where you provide the name of the company associated with the position.
   • Location: When entering location, there are two ways you can utilize this box. If you are within a local community sharing a local or remote position for other community members within that same community, use the location of your hub regardless of where the company is located. If you are within a larger national community, then use the location of the company itself. The reason this is important is because the jobs feature is driven by location APIs, meaning that community members will see jobs closest to their location.

5. Click 'Save'. The job posting will be sent to community moderators for approval.
6. Once approved, your job posting will appear on the job board.

How do I moderate jobs posted by members of my community?

As a moderator, you will have access to a job request table where you may choose to approve or deny any jobs posted by other community members. Follow the steps outlined below to access this table:

1. Sign into your Startup Space account.
2. On the left side menu, open 'Insights' and click 'Jobs'.
3. The table should show any outstanding requests for job posts. You may review the community member who requested the post, job title, company name, location, and hub name associated with the request. Once you’ve reviewed the basic details provided, you may accept or delete the request. The community member is not notified. 
4. If approved, the job immediately appears on the job board. If denied, the request will be removed from the table.

How do I review applications? 

To view any applications, simply click the triple dots on the job title and select 'History'. This will pull up a complete history of any applications received. You may then reach out to candidates on your own with any follow-up. 

How do I remove a job listing?

You have two options when removing a job listing. You may delete the listing altogether or mark it as filled.

To delete, click the triple dots on the job title, select 'Delete', and confirm deletion. This removes the job posting and its history from the platform. 

To mark as filled, click 'Mark as Filled' on the job title and confirm the change. This will hide the job from the active job board, but retain the listing and history for future reference.
