Creating a position

Step-by-step guide to adding a new position to your org.

Click New position from the Positions page in the sidebar. You'll see a form with the essential fields.

Required fields

Only the title is required. Everything else is optional but recommended.

  • Title - the job title candidates see on the careers page. Use a clear, descriptive title without internal jargon.

Optional fields

  • Department - categorize the role. Departments appear as filters on the careers page.
  • Location - free text. Write "Remote" for remote roles, or a city and country for on-site roles.
  • Employment type - full-time, part-time, contract, or internship.
  • Description - a rich-text editor for the full job description. This is the body content on the careers page listing. Use headings, lists, and formatting to make it scannable.

Compensation

Compensation fields are optional. When filled in, they're displayed on the careers page listing. When left blank, the compensation section is hidden entirely.

  • Minimum salary and Maximum salary - numeric values defining the range.
  • Currency - select from common currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, etc.).
  • Pay unit - per year, per month, or per hour.
Showing compensation ranges increases application rates. Candidates are more likely to apply when they know the salary is in their range.

What happens after creation

When you click Create, Bringboard:

  1. Creates the position in Draft status
  2. Copies your org's default hiring stages into a position-specific pipeline
  3. Creates an application form from your org's default form template
  4. Generates a unique slug for the careers page URL

You can customize the stages, form, and all settings before publishing.
