This article explains how you can create a Personio Career page for a legal entity. This will allow you to publish jobs on the career page of their respective legal entity, which will have its own domain, and adapts to your legal entity's brand identity.

Note Before you can create a Personio Career page for your legal entity, you need to configure your legal entity in your Personio account. Learn more about Configuring Legal entities.

 

Create a legal entity career page

To create a Personio Career page for a legal entity, follow these steps.

1. Go to Settings > Recruiting > Career page.
2. In Select company, select the respective legal entity from the drop-down list.
   
   
3. Select a unique domain for your legal entity career page, such as your-legal entity.jobs.personio.com, and choose between the domain name extension .de and .com.
   
   

   Note The domain name will be publicly visible in the URL of your new Personio Career page. It cannot be changed once it is set, so ensure that you use the correct domain name and check for spelling errors.

4. Once you have filled in your domain name, the system will automatically tell you if this domain name is available. If another company is already using the domain name, you need to select an alternative domain name. Then click Create domain.

When candidates want to apply for a job via the Personio Career page of your legal entity, they will need to fill in an application form.

2. Under Application form fields, select the candidate attributes that you would like to include in your application form from the list of available options.
3. To choose which attributes should be mandatory for a candidate to fill in, activate the checkbox next to Required. You can create additional candidate attributes via Settings > Recruiting > Attributes. 
   Note If you want to use gender variables in offers and email templates, you can request the candidate's gender information in the application form.
4. Drag and drop the form fields, to decide the order in which they should appear on the form.
5. In Document upload fields, select which type of documents you would like to request or offer to upload. The predefined default categories are CV and Other.
