Job Description - Job Advert Builder

This article outlines how to build and edit your Job Description using the Job Advert Builder.

At Step 2 of the job wizard, you can create the advert / job description that will appear for job seekers on your careers website.

Most StaffCV customers will have a Job Template or Templates already set up, and this is the easiest way to get your job live. If you don't have a Job Template, or wish to create a new one, contact StaffCV Support.

To begin, click on the Add Template button:

Select the template you wish to use for this job, and click Insert:

Your template will load. The template may be made up of a number of sections (e.g for your title, main body, etc.). You will notice that as you hover over a section, a grey 'Edit' indicator appears. Click anywhere in that section in order to edit it.

When editing a section of your job description, a formatting toolbar will appear:

The formatting toolbar allows you to (left to right):

• Edit the HTML directly
• Auto-format font text and headings styles
• Bold
• Italic
• Underline
• Create bullet or numbered lists
• Insert a table
• Insert a link
• Insert an image
• Upload a file
• Align text
• Resize text
• Change font colour and add highlighting
• Delete this row (section of your job advert/description) altogether

That's it! To remove the template you've entered, simply delete each of the rows in it and start again (i.e. click Add Template again).

If you want to add a plain, un-templated section to your job advert/description, simply click the Add Text button and a new blank row will be added to the bottom.

NOTE: If you get an error saying "too many characters" while trying to paste, try copying half of the text into the section. Then add a new section underneath, and paste the rest in.

Some Word Documents contain "hidden" characters - formatting notes - which can cause the character limit on the sections to go over. You can either split your description into sections or paste your word document into a Notepad file, then copy from Notepad into the system.
