How to Create a New Job

BerniePortal Recruiting’s job wizard walks you through posting a job: job information and details, optional applicant questions and documents, hiring team, hiring stages, then publish. Completing Job Information saves the job as a draft; unfinished posts appear on the Job List under Drafts.

You can create a job if you are:
Hiring Managers and Hiring Influencers can open the Job List for jobs they are assigned to, but they do not see CREATE A NEW JOB.

To access:
  1. Sign in to BerniePortal.
  2. In the top navigation, select Recruiting.
  3. In the secondary navigation, select Job List.
  4. Select CREATE A NEW JOB.
You can also start from the employer dashboard QUICK ACTIONS control POST NEW JOB.

If your company uses Free Recruiting and has reached Free job limits, selecting CREATE A NEW JOB (or POST NEW JOB) opens a limit dialog with Purchase Recruiting Premium and Continue making a draft. Free limits are enforced when you publish, not when you start a draft. See How to Add Recruiting.

Job Information
  1. Enter Job Title, City, state, ZIP Code, and Job Description (all required).
  2. Select Next Step.
The job is saved as a draft after this step. Use Return To Job List to leave without finishing.

Job Details
  1. Select Employment Type (Full Time or Part Time).
  2. Enter Minimum Pay, Maximum Pay, and Rate (Per Hour, Per Week, Per Month, or Per Year).
  3. Enter Submission Deadline (required). After that date passes, BerniePortal closes the published job so it no longer accepts applications.
  4. Optionally select Show Benefits Package, then choose a benefits subgroup. Benefits are viewable only by applicants who have received a message from a hiring manager in Recruiting messaging—not on the public job post for all applicants.
  5. Select Next Step.
Applicant Questions
Questions are optional.
  1. To add a saved question, choose one under Add Question From Library, then select Add. Manage library questions in the Question Library.
  2. Or select Create New Question, complete the question fields, and save.
  3. Use the Required checkbox for each question as needed. Remove a question with the trash icon. Drag the vertical ellipsis handle to reorder.
  4. Select Next Step.
Applicant Documents
  1. Resume is included by default and marked required. Use the Required checkbox to change whether it is required.
  2. To request another document (for example a cover letter), enter a Document Name and select Add.
  3. Remove custom documents with the trash icon (Resume cannot be removed). Drag the vertical ellipsis handle to reorder.
  4. Select Next Step.
Hiring Team
  1. Add a Hiring Manager (required) by searching employees and selecting + Add. The acting employer’s subaccount or the current employee is used as the default when applicable.
  2. Optionally add a Hiring Influencer (Optional) the same way.
  3. Remove members with the trash icon.
  4. Select Review Job Post.
For role differences, see Hiring Managers and Hiring Influencers.

Review and Publish Your New Job
  1. Review each section. Select the pencil icon on a section to edit it.
  2. Under Hiring Stages, stages from your Settings template are pre-selected. Uncheck any stage you do not want for this job (at least one stage must remain). Drag the vertical ellipsis handle to reorder. Company-wide stage templates are covered in How to Create and Edit Hiring Stages.
  3. When ready, select Publish Job.
If Free Recruiting limits block publish, use Purchase Recruiting Premium or Save & Return to Job List.

After a successful publish, the page shows Your Job Has Been Successfully Posted! with a Sharing Link. You can Copy Link, View Job Post, or Return to Job List.
