Why should I use vacancy templates?

Ensure consistency and save time with vacancy templates

What is a vacancy template?

A vacancy template is a structured outline that helps you create vacancies with consistent formatting. It can include headings and sections, such as job responsibilities, qualifications, and benefits.

Why use vacancy templates?

Templates ensure that all recruiters use the same structure when posting vacancies, creating consistency across your career page. This makes the job posts more organized and professional. Without templates, each recruiter might create vacancies that look different, leading to inconsistency in formatting and presentation. Templates also save time by providing a ready-to-use framework, and they allow you to guide recruiters on what information to include under each heading.

Best practices for using vacancy templates:

  • Use clear headings: Add headings like ‘Job Responsibilities’, ‘Qualifications’ and ‘Benefits’, which will remain consistent across all vacancies.
  • Placeholder text: You can write instructions or placeholders in italics (e.g., ‘Add qualifications here’) to help recruiters know what to input, and they can delete or modify it later.
  • Flexible customization: While templates provide structure, recruiters can still add or remove text as needed.
  • Highlight temporary text: If there's content you plan to remove later (like placeholders or notes), mark it in italics or brackets so it’s recognizable which makes editing easier.
