Executive Summary

PyjamaHR makes it easy to publish your job openings to a wide network of free job boards with just a few clicks—no manual posting required. This guide explains exactly how the process works, how to confirm your job is live, where your jobs are published, and how to troubleshoot common issues, so you can maximize your reach and attract more qualified candidates without extra effort.

Detailed Overview

What is the Free PyjamaHR Job Board Publishing Feature?

When you publish a job in PyjamaHR, your opening is automatically distributed to a curated set of free job boards, including LinkedIn, Google Jobs, Adzuna, Jobsora, Dr Jobs, Times Ascent, and (for international roles) Monster and ZipRecruiter. This automation saves you time and ensures your job gets maximum visibility across multiple platforms—no need to post manually on each site.

When and Why Should You Use It?

Maximize candidate reach: Instantly broadcast your job to multiple boards.
Save time: No need to manage postings on each job board separately.
Track status in one place: See where your job is published directly in PyjamaHR.
Ideal for both free and premium users: All users can access the free job board distribution; premium users can boost to even more boards.

How Does It Integrate with Other PyjamaHR Features?

Job Management: Track all postings and statuses from your Open Jobs dashboard.
Candidate Management: All applicants, regardless of source, flow into your PyjamaHR pipeline.
Internal Posting: Optionally keep jobs internal (draft) until you’re ready to go public.

Business Impact

Faster hiring cycles: More applicants, faster.
Reduced manual effort: Focus on screening, not posting.
Consistent employer branding: Your job description appears as you wrote it across all boards.

Step-by-Step Guide: Publishing to the Free PyjamaHR Job Board

Prerequisites

You must have a PyjamaHR account (free or premium).
Your company profile and job description must meet minimum quality standards (see Best Practices below).
For LinkedIn integration, you may need to connect your company page (see LinkedIn Integration Guide).

1. Create Your Job Posting

Go to the “Jobs” section in your PyjamaHR dashboard.
Click “Create Job”.
Fill in all required fields:
- Job Title
- Location(s)
- Job Description (see tips below)
- Skills, Experience, etc.

2. Review and Finalize

On the final step (“Finishing Up” or similar), review the Job Boards section.
- Here, you’ll see a list of free job boards your job will be published to (e.g., LinkedIn, Google Jobs, Adzuna, Jobsora, Dr Jobs, Times Ascent, Monster, ZipRecruiter).
- Screenshot suggestion: Show the “Finishing Up” screen with job boards listed.
Click “Publish”.

3. Confirm Publishing Status

After publishing, go to your Open Jobs list.
Click the three dots (⋮) next to your job and select “Publish” or “Manage Job Boards”.
- You’ll see the status of your job on each board (e.g., “Published”, “Under Review”, or “Unpublished”).
- Screenshot suggestion: Show the “Manage Job Boards” popup with statuses.

4. (Optional) Post Internally First

If you want to keep a job as a draft (not public), choose “Post Job Internally” during or after creation.
This keeps the job visible only to your team until you’re ready to publish externally.

Advanced Usage & Best Practices

Power User Tips

Optimize Your Job Description: Job boards may reject or “unpublish” low-quality or incomplete postings. Include:
Company info
Clear responsibilities and requirements
Location and remote/hybrid details
Relevant keywords and skills
See LinkedIn’s Job Quality Guidelines for reference.
Check Publishing Status Regularly: Some boards take 12–24 hours to review and publish jobs. If you don’t see your job live immediately, check back later.
International Jobs: Monster and ZipRecruiter are used for international postings only (not for India-based jobs).
Bulk Actions: For high-volume hiring, use bulk publishing and management features to save time.

Do’s and Don’ts

Do:
- Double-check your job description for completeness and professionalism.
- Use the “Manage Job Boards” feature to monitor status.
- Use “Post Internally” if you want to save a draft.

Don’t:
- Don’t expect instant publishing on all boards—some require review.
- Don’t use placeholder or incomplete job descriptions; these may be flagged or removed by partner boards.
- Don’t expect email notifications for every publishing event; check status in the platform.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

Common Problems and Solutions

Q: My job says “Published” in PyjamaHR, but I can’t find it on some job boards.
- Some boards (e.g., Google Jobs, Monster, ZipRecruiter) don’t provide direct links or API feedback to PyjamaHR. You may need to search for your job manually on those sites.
- Publishing can take 12–24 hours due to board review processes.
- If your job is missing, review your job description quality—low-quality postings may be rejected by boards.

Q: Why was my job unpublished or not visible on some boards?
- Boards may flag jobs with incomplete or low-quality descriptions.
- Edit your job to improve quality and republish; PyjamaHR will re-submit automatically.

Q: I want to keep a job as a draft—how?
- Use the “Post Job Internally” option during creation or in the “Manage Job Boards” menu.

Q: Why don’t I get email notifications when a job is published?
- To avoid inbox overload, PyjamaHR does not send email notifications for every publishing event. Use the dashboard to check status.

Q: My job is not getting applicants from some boards.
- Some boards have lower applicant volume or longer review times.
- Optimize your job description for better reach.
- Confirm your job is live on those boards using the “Manage Job Boards” feature.

Q: Why isn’t my job posted to Monster/ZipRecruiter?
- These are only used for international (non-India) jobs.

Q: I can only see my job on LinkedIn, not others.
- Many boards do not provide direct job links back to PyjamaHR. Visibility may take up to 24 hours.

Q: My “Publish All” button is not clickable.
- This may be due to missing required fields or a temporary technical issue. Double-check your job details and try again.

Q: How do I know which boards my job is posted to?
- In the “Finishing Up” step and “Manage Job Boards” popup, you’ll see the list of boards and status for each.
