Job Posting Information

Screenshot_2022-12-07_at_3.31.17_PM.png

In the "Job Posting Information" section under the "Information" tab, you can change the job title, location type (Remote, Hybrid, or Onsite), street address, job type, category, and compensation range.

Click "Edit" in the top right corner, make any necessary changes to the fields, and then click "Save."

A note about Indeed

The hybrid location type is not supported by Indeed, so applicants cannot filter for hybrid job postings on their platform. Jobs marked as “Hybrid” in Humi will display as “In-Person” on Indeed. This is because Indeed considers Hybrid positions a type of in-person work.

To make it easy for applicants to find your Hybrid position, we recommend adding the phrase “hybrid remote” in your job posting description. This will allow the job posting to appear when applicants search for “hybrid remote” jobs on Indeed.

Notifications

  • Uncheck the "Required" box if the attachment is not required, but the applicant will see the option to attach the document if they choose to.
  • To remove a document entirely, click "X Remove." If you want to add additional documents for applicants to upload, click the "+ Add Attachment" link.

By default, the "Name" and "Email" fields are required, but you can make the remaining fields optional by unchecking them. All of these fields will still be displayed on the application, but they will not be mandatory, so applicants can skip them if they wish. 

Any changes you make will be saved automatically.

 

Autoscoring Applicants (keywords)

Screen_Shot_2022-02-17_at_2.51.43_PM.pngIn this section, you can add or remove keywords you want Humi to search for on your applicant's resumes. In the "Label" field, enter the keywords you want to add or click the "X" to remove any keywords you no longer require.
Humi will give the applicant a rating out of 5 stars based on the number of matching keywords.
