Welcome! Whether it's your first time using Mega or you're a recruiting pro, we're here to walk you through how to create your first job post. Let’s dive in!
How to Create a Job 📝
There are a couple of ways to start creating a job in Mega:
On your Home page, click the ‘+ Add Job’ button.
Or, head to the Jobs page and select ‘+ Add Job Posting’.
Once you’ve done that, a new page will pop up with five sections to complete. Here’s what you’ll find:
Job Details
Application Form
Workflow
Hiring Team
Job Advertising
Pro Tip: Need to take a break? Just click ‘Save Draft’ at the top right. You can always come back to finish it later from your Jobs section.
Job Details 💡
This is where you’ll add all the important info candidates need to know, like the job title, description, and salary.
Job Title
Keep it simple! A few tips for the job title:
Be specific.
Keep it short and clear.
Make it easy to understand.
Avoid using ALL CAPS.
Employment Type 🕒
Choose the type of employment from the dropdown (e.g., full-time, part-time, etc.) so candidates know the job’s expectations.
Work Type 🌍
Select whether the job is on-site, remote, or hybrid.
Job Description 📝
Give candidates the scoop on what the job involves and what’s expected. Be sure to include the duties, any specific requirements, and don’t forget the perks and benefits—those can make your job stand out! ✨
Having trouble writing it? Click the ‘Generate Description’ button on the right to get some inspiration 💡.
Office Location 📍
Pick an existing location from the dropdown, or if it's a new one, you can add it. If the job is remote, choose the main office or the most relevant location.
Department 🏢
Select the right department for the role from the dropdown. If you don’t see the one you need, ask an Admin or Mega Admin to add it.
Job Code 🔢
If your company uses a special code for jobs, this is where you can enter it.
Salary Range, Currency, Pay Period 💸
Add the pay details here. Want to keep the salary private? Just uncheck the box labeled ‘Display salary on Careers page’ 🔒.
Application Form 🖊️
Next, you’ll decide what info you want from candidates when they apply. Name and email are always required, but the rest—like phone number or resume—you can mark as required, optional, or not needed.
Want to ask custom questions? Choose from the dropdown of common questions or create your own by clicking ‘Add new question’ ➕. You can also manage your saved screening questions in the Recruiting Preferences section.
Workflow 🛠️
Your workflow lays out the steps from application to hire. Pick a pre-built workflow and review the stages—this includes AI screening, automated emails, rating cards, due dates, and more. The workflow is designed to make the hiring process seamless for both you and the candidates.
Hiring Team 🤝
Even though Mega helps you a lot, you can still invite your teammates to join the hiring process. Add team members who already have access to Mega, or invite others via email (if you have the right permissions) 📧.
Working with external recruiters? You can add them too! Just invite them via email, and rest easy—they’ll only see candidates they’ve sourced 🕵️♀️.
Job Advertising 📢
Mega makes it easy to get your job out there. You can post on your company’s career site and various job boards. Mega offers both free and paid options for job advertising.
Free job boards: These are enabled automatically. Mega will send your job to all relevant free job boards, and they might even distribute it further to increase your reach.
Paid job boards: You can purchase premium job postings for a wider or more targeted audience 🎯.
Ready to Share? 🎉
Once you’re all set, there are three ways to share your job:
Publish: Your job will be live on your career site and sent to free and paid job boards 🌐.
Internal Only: The job will only be visible to people within your company 🏢.
Confidential: Only the hiring team and Mega Administrators will see it 🔐.
That’s it! Good luck with your hiring, and if you run into any questions, feel free to reach out to us; we’re here to help! 👋
