Fields in the Create Client Site Posting Wizard
Field Configuration

Posting Details (Screen)

Job Posting Template

Select an option in the drop-down list to assign a job posting template.

Doing this populates the Header and Footer of the Job Description section (that is, the next section in the posting wizard, which is described below) with standard content, so that you don’t have to manually add a header and footer each time you create a posting. For example, your organization might have a standard header that provides a profile of the organization or department, or a list of some of the perks included with the job.

Note: The list of available templates is defined by your administrator.

Job Application Templates

Select an option in the drop-down list to assign a job application template to the posting.

The template defines the contents of the job application that candidates see, including the sections and questionnaires that they need to complete when they fill out Dayforce.

For example, a template for administrative job assignments has questions about a candidate's proficiency with certain software application.

Note: The list of available templates is defined by your administrator.

Posting Start Date

Select a date to define when the posting will become available to candidates.

Note the following about the posting start date:

  • If you keep the date as current, the posting becomes available to candidates as soon as you submit it (that is, it will have a status of Posted).
  • If you select a future date, the posting won't become available until midnight on the specified date (that is, it will have a status of Pending until the specified date).
  • The posting start date cannot be in the past.

For more information about posting statuses, see View Existing Job Postings.

Posting Expiry Date

Select a date to define when the posting will no longer be available to candidates.

The posting is automatically removed from the Client Careers Site or Careers screen on midnight at the end of the specified expiry date (that is, users can no longer view or apply for it).

Evergreen (Optional)

Select the Evergreen checkbox to mark the posting as evergreen (that is, continuously open).

See Create Evergreen Postings.

When you select the Evergreen checkbox, the wizard adds the Reapply period in days, Re-post period in days and Original Posting Date fields:

  • Reapply period in days: (Optional) Enter the number of days that candidates need to wait before they can reapply to the posting.
  • Note: Candidates must also have a status of Declined before they can reapply.
  • Repost period in days: Enter a number of days to define how often the posting will be reposted. This period is set to 90 days by default. You can update this default value; however, it is recommended that you use the default 90-day reposting period if posting to Indeed. The repost period cannot be less than 30 days.
  • When the repost period is reached, the current posting is closed and a new posting is created. The new posting has the same settings as the original posting, but with a new posting ID and the current date as the posting date.
  • Note: Dayforce can't guarantee that your evergreen postings will be accepted by Indeed. However, having a new posting ID and a 90-day reposting period increases the likelihood of the posting passing Indeed's quality guidelines. See Indeed Postings.
  • Original Posting Date: (Read-Only) Displays the date that the job was originally posted. This field isn’t populated until the original posting is closed and a new posting is created.

Language

Select the checkbox next to one or more options in the Language section to define which languages you want to post the job in.

The tabs on the left side of the wizard update to include a separate Job Description section for each language that you selected. This lets you localize the job description for each language. This example reflects that English and French are both selected in the Language section:

Separate Job Description sections for English and French.

Location

Enter all or part of a location name to filter the list, and select one or more posting locations:

Field that contains cities around Toronto, and Richmond Hill is selected in the drop-down list as it's being typed.

The Location selector displays three types of locations:

  • Organizational Locations: These are locations from your organizational hierarchy that are configured in Dayforce. These locations are marked with the blue icon ().
  • The system only displays these locations if they are configured by your administrator.
  • Google Maps Locations: These are search results from Google Maps. When you enter text in the Location selector, the system automatically returns the same results as the Google Maps website. This can include exact street addresses, towns, cities, or regions. Results are marked with the red icon (). You can select any result to post to it.
  • When you or other users post to a Google location, it is saved to the list in the Location selector
  • Virtual Location: The Virtual option is always available in the Location selector, where it is marked with the light blue icon ().
  • Note: If your organization has configured an integration with Indeed, it's recommended that you select a physical location along with the Virtual option to ensure that the posting is associated with the correct country on the Indeed website. If you don’t select a physical location, the country associated with your base org unit will be used as the country for the virtual posting.

You can select as many locations as needed, and you can mix location types. See Post Locations.

Client Sites

Select one or more client sites that you want to post the job to. In the drop-down list, the wizard first displays an option for the Client Career Site (that is, the default external site) and then for Careers (the default internal site). Then it shows any additional external client sites that your administrator has configured. You can type all or part of a name to filter the list.

Job Description (Screen)

Note: A separate Job Description screen is displayed for each language that you selected in the Posting Details screen.

Posting Title

The wizard automatically populates the job requisition title in the Posting Title field, but you can edit the value as needed. Any edits you make here won't affect the details of the requisition.

Note: The title is also carried over to the French, Spanish, and English (United Kingdom) job details, but only if the job description was localized by your administrator in Org Setup > Jobs and Job Assignments.

Description

The wizard fills in the job description for a job requisition:

  • If there are one or more postings for the requisition, it uses the description from the most recent posting.
  • If no job posting exists, it uses the job requisition description.

You can edit or replace this description. If you want to replace the description with a description from another source, click Get Latest Description and choose a source:

  • Job Requisition Description: The job requisition description.
  • Job Description: The job-level description from the Jobs and Job Assignments feature.
  • Job Assignment Description: The job assignment-level description from the Jobs and Job Assignments feature.
  • Position Description: The position description from Organization Designer > Positions. Available if your organization uses Position Management.

If the selected source doesn't have a description, the job description field is left blank.

You can also click Generate Job Description to create a job description from Dayforce AI Assistant. See Generate Job Descriptions Using Dayforce AI Assistant.

Click OK, and then Save. If you decide not to use the description from the source you selected, you can click Refresh (before saving) to reload the previous job description.

Note: If the description from the Jobs and Job Assignments feature was localized, the description is populated for the selected posting languages as well when you click Get Latest Description. If there's no localization available for the selected languages, the associated job description fields are left blank.

Header
Footer

Click the expand icon () to expand the Header and Footer section and, if you selected a posting template in the previous section, they are populated with text from the template that you selected.

If the job posting template that you selected was localized, the header and footer are populated with the localized version; if not, they are blank and you can build the header and footer for that language.

Note the following about job posting templates:

  • If you don’t select one, the Header and Footer fields are cleared and you can add your own header and footer as needed.
  • If you did select one, however, you can edit it as required.
  • Edits you make to a post override the header and footer of the job posting template for that particular post. However, they don’t change the content of the template that you selected. For example, assign the same template to another posting and it won't reflect any of the edits from the last place it was used.

Job Assignment Details (Screen)

Note: Any fields that you fill out in this section show up in the Other details section of the job posting. For more information on how this looks in the actual posting, see External Client Careers Site.

Pay Type

Select either the Salary or Hourly option.

In addition to showing up in the Other details section of the job posting, the option you select is also displayed on the header of the job posting.

Job Start Date
Job End Date

Click the drop-down to select a start and end date from the calendar. This is different from the posting start and end date.

For example, you might select the period that a contract job runs for.

Hiring Rate or Min Hiring Rate/Max Hiring Rate

Enter either a single rate in the Hiring Rate field, or a range in the Min / Max Hiring Rate fields.

Note: You can't enter both a single rate and a min / max range.

Currency Select the currency from the list. This field is required if you specified a hiring rate or range.

Display Hiring Rate Information on the job posting

Select this checkbox if you want to display the hiring rate information to candidates on your client career sites. By default, this checkbox is cleared, and the hiring rate information is hidden for candidates in the posting.

Job Family

Select an option in the drop-down list.

These are groupings (for example, Retail or Manufacturing) that your organization uses to classify jobs in its organizational hierarchy. The list of available job families is configured by your administrator.
