Posting a Job

What is a Job Post?

A job post on Publicist is akin to a flyer for an open opportunity. It serves to outline the requirements for a role and provide a description of the work without setting anything in stone with applicants. Much like any other job listing, it helps in attracting proposals from talent, allowing you to choose the best fit for your needs.

Steps to Post a Job:

• From Your Main Dashboard:

  • In the upper right corner, click on

    "+ Create new job"

    to start the job posting process.

• From the Navigation Bar:

  • Navigate to

    Jobs

    and select

    "Post a job"

    to begin creating your job post.

Overview of the Steps:

• Naming Your Job:

  • Choose a clear and descriptive job title. This helps potential candidates quickly understand the nature of the job and attract the right talent.

• Details:

  • Location:

    Specify where the job will be performed—remote, hybrid, or on-site. This provides clarity on work arrangements.

  • Duration:

    Estimate the job's timeframe in terms of days, weeks, or months. This helps talent assess their availability.

  • Hours per Week:

    Provide an approximate number of hours per week the job will require. This helps talent evaluate if they can commit to the job.

• Industry:

  • Tag the industry relevant to the job. This helps in matching your job post with talent who have the appropriate industry experience and provides context to the applicants.

• Skills:

  • List the specific skills required for the job. Tagging these skills helps in providing context to the talent and aids in better matching candidates to your job.

• Payment:

  • Select the type of job payment structure: Fixed Fee, Hourly, or Retainer.

    • Fixed Fee:

      Payment based on the completion of a specific project. A fixed fee is agreed upon for the successful delivery of the project, regardless of the time taken.

    • Hourly:

      Payment based on the number of hours worked, with a set rate for each hour.

    • Retainer:

      A predetermined fee paid in advance to secure ongoing services over a specified period.

  • Provide a rate estimate. Remember, the final rate is set when an offer is extended, so this initial rate is not binding.

• Job Description:

  • Write a comprehensive overview of the job, detailing the role and responsibilities.

• Additional Details:

  • Include any extra requirements or specifics, such as onboarding processes, preferred proposal formats, or equipment needs.

• Adding Teammates:

  • (Optional) Add teammates or collaborators to the job post. These team members will receive notifications on job activity and can edit the job description, communicate with talent, and progress processes, depending on their permissions. If a teammate isn't already on the list, you can add them here, and they will be included in the team and job activities.

• Review and Post:

  • Before posting, review all the details of your job post. You can change the visibility settings (Public, Network, Private, Hidden) and make any final updates to the job description. Additionally, you can add information to custom fields for internal tracking purposes—these fields are not publicly displayed.

By following these steps, you can create a thorough and effective job post on Publicist’s HIRE platform. This process ensures that you provide all necessary information to attract the best talent for your needs, while also making it easy for talent to evaluate and apply for your job.
