Create Job Posting Templates

You define the template content for all languages that you want to use the template for, including the default language that you use the Recruiting feature in, in the Configure Job Posting Template dialog box of Recruiting Setup > Job Posting Template Configuration.

If the template isn't localized for a language, the Header and Footer are left blank for that language in postings where the template is used. For example, if the content of a template is only defined for English (US), and the template is selected for an English (UK) posting, the header and footer will be blank for the English (UK) posting. Therefore, be sure to localize templates that will be used for postings in different languages.

To create a job posting template:

1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Job Posting Template Configuration.
2. Click New.
3. Click the field in the Job Posting Template Name column and then enter a name for the template.
4. (Optional) Click the field in the Description column and enter a description for the template.
5. Click Save.
6. Select the template that you just created.
7. Click Configure Job Posting Template in the toolstrip. A dialog box with a rich text editor opens. See Text Editor Controls.
8. For each language that you want the template to be available in, do the following:
   1. Click Add.
   2. Click the field in the Language column, and then select a language in the drop-down list.
   3. Click the field in the Job Posting Template Name column and enter the localized template name. This is the name that will be displayed in the Job Posting Template drop-down list when posting job requisitions in Recruiting.
   4. (Optional) Click the field in the Description column and add a localized description for the template. This description won't appear in the Recruiting feature UI.
   5. (Optional) Click the field in the Header column to enable the rich text editor below the list, and then enter the localized header content.
   6. (Optional) Click the field in the Footer column to enable the rich text editor below the list, and then enter the localized footer content.
9. Important: You must enter content for the default language, in addition to any other languages that you want to include.
9. Click Save.

After a template is configured, recruiters can select it in the Job Posting Template drop-down list of the job posting wizard (in the Postings tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions). If they make updates to individual posts (such as to the header or footer), their edits override the template for those particular posts only.
