1. How to manually post a job

  • Head to this link to create a job as an employer on CareerOS
  • You can also find the "Create job" button on the top of the job list on the left side of the "My Jobs"-page
  • Fill in all the required fields of the job post input mask
  • For the "Country"-field you need to use the English version of the suggested countries
  • If your job offer is concerning several offices and cities, you can input the cities in the "City"-field like so: "Berlin, Munich, Hamburg"
  • The Application URL should be the link to lead to a page where candidates complete their application, preferably on your career page
  • In the "Job Description"-field you can copy the description from elsewhere on the internet and also add bullets, numbered lists, links and bold text for it to stand out
  • Once you filled all the fields, hit the "Post Job" button to finish the job post
  • Please review the appearance of your job post once you created it - does the description look, like you want it to look? Does the "Apply"-button lead to where it should lead?

Important: You cannot edit your company's general information (headquarter, industry, description, logo etc.) on the job post. For this you need to head to this link. We also have a Help Center article on editing your company's profile here.

2. How to edit a job post

  • Select the job post you want to edit in the list on the left side on the "My Jobs"-page
  • Head to the upper right corner of the job post and hit the "Edit job"-button
  • You will now enter the "Edit Job Details"-page and can modify the post however you like
  • Use the "Cancel"-button to undo your changes and "Save Job"-button to confirm your changes

3. How to archive or publish a job

  • Jobs can either be "live" or "archived"
  • If a job is live, it can be viewed by the students using CareerOS
  • If it is archived, only you can see the job posting and it will not be shown to new students
  • If a student has saved a job for later and that job is now archived, they can still see the job
  • Per default, when creating a new job post, it will be posted directly to your archive
  • You can change live/archived-status of a job on top of the job post or in the "Edit Job"-page by using the switch
  • You find all your live and archived jobs under the tabs with the same name on the left side of the job list

4. About the ranking of jobs

  • Students cans see the jobs posted directly to employers and also a large number of third-party jobs that we curated accoring to their preferences
  • Students see the jobs posted by employers directly to CareerOS first and then the third-party jobs - within these two buckets, the jobs are ranked by date posted, the most recent one on top
  • This way, your jobs will be always prominently displayed on top of the list of students
  • Jobs posted by employers directly to CareerOS are displayed with a "Verified CareerOS Partner" badge
  • You can only see the jobs you posted, and in this view your jobs are always ranked by the date they were posted, the most recent one on top

6. About targeting your job post

  • From December 2024 onwards, you will be able to target your job posts to specific universities and student populations
