Configuring Job Board Fields and Columns

How to configure which columns and fields display on the job board. Also, how to edit the dropdown options on Job Orders.

You have control over the default fields displayed and the available values on your Job Board and Job Orders using some available administrative tools. A user with the System Administrator profile must be used to make these customizations.

Some customization to Jobscience is done within the Recruiting Administration app.

Customizing the Job Board Setup

  1. Navigate to Board Setup.

  2. Select the job board title and then Edit.

  3. Within each section, make updates to the settings as desired.

    • General: Some basic settings. Please do not edit the top four fields.

    • Confirmation Message: HomePage is the URL where candidates are redirected after submitting an application to a job. This is typically your company web site, but can be changed to another site of your choosing.

    • Standard Questions: Can be used to ask for additional information from your job seekers.

    • Search Criteria: These are the fields available for job seekers when searching through your job openings.

    • Search Results: These are the columns displayed when job seekers view a list of job openings or search for a job. Title is always the first column and does not need to be selected. Job Description is not a recommended field to add here as it does not display with the desired formatting.

    • Job Description: These are the fields displayed when a job seeker clicks to view a specific job. Title and Description are shown by default and do not need to be selected.

    • EEO Questions: If desired, you can expose EEOC questions for collection. If they are selected, a standard disclaimer is displayed. You can add a custom disclaimer statement if desired as well. ​

Customizing the Dropdown Field Values on Job Orders

  1. Navigate to Setup > Create > Objects > Job Order.
    Hint: Click directly on the title Job Order and not the "Edit" link.

  2. Go to and click on the field name that you want to edit.
    Again, click directly on the field name rather than the "Edit" link.

    • Some fields displayed on the Job Order and Job Board include: Job Function, Department, and Location.

  3. Scroll down to Picklist Values to make changes.

    • Edit: Change an existing value.

    • Delete: Remove an existing value.

  4. Select New to add multiple values to the list at once.

    Note: When adding new values, you must select all possible Record Types to ensure that the values are visible for all types of Job Orders. Otherwise, users will not have access to your new picklist values.

    • Use a carriage return (press Enter) between each value.

    • Choose all Record Types for the new values.
