Review your career page and jobs setup – Personio

This article contains tips to ensure you've set up your career page correctly and that you understand the options to promote and publish jobs.

Required settings

You have stored the company name so that it can be displayed correctly in the career page browser tab.
The Personio career page or the XML feed (or both) is enabled in the recruiting settings. You can find further information on this topic in:
- Set up the Personio career page
- Integrate jobs from Personio into your company website via XML
You have inserted a link to the imprint, as a legal notice. This is not necessary if you are using your own corporate career page or if your company is located outside of Germany.
In the Descriptions and translations section, you've added all the relevant company information in all the languages you use.
The data privacy statement contains detailed information about your company.
The retention period for candidate data specified in your data privacy statement corresponds to the retention period you have defined under Settings > Recruiting > Recruiting > General > Data privacy settings (Anonymize after).

If you use your company's internal recruiting email address for your candidate communication, you have set up a redirection to the company's recruiting email address. You have also set up the connection to the company email provider either via direct integration or via SMTP.

If you have Productivity Plus:

You have activated the autoresponder for applications that were submitted via the application form and via email. This should be activated for each recruiting category.
If your email templates contain gender variables (For example: Dear ||Mr.|Ms.|| {{last_name}}), ensure the following and check that your emails display correctly:
- For applications via the application form: Gender should be a mandatory field in the application form.
- For email applications: Gender should be manually added to the candidate profile before the candidate is assigned to a job.

You've added relevant information for published jobs.
If you want a job to be published in another language, you have provided all translations for the job and general job description under Settings > Recruiting > Recruiting > Job description.
You've assigned at least one responsible for each published job.
You've deleted test jobs. If you want to keep them, check that placeholders like “Lorem ipsum” are no longer present in the job's description.

For postings to appear in the Google Jobs search, you must enable the setting Enable Google Jobs.
You have configured an application form.
You have saved your logo, header background, font, and colors, so that you can set up your Personio career page in accordance with your corporate design.
You have customized your Personio career page using CSS.

If you selected specific employees as the senders of the receipt confirmation email, you've saved a signature in their profile. We recommend saving a signature in the profile of all employees who are involved in candidate communication.
You have created custom email templates for the application process.
