What a job opening is

A job opening is a position, written up once, that people can apply to from the tour or from a link you hand out.

It is deliberately kept apart from Vendor applications, which is for somebody wanting a stall. The two have nothing to do with each other and share nothing but the machinery underneath.

You answer applicants yourself. StrollPoint never sees the money and never takes a cut.

What they are applying for

Name it the way the posting does: Attendant/Operator, Water Filtration Plant.

The description is a full text box and it takes a whole job description, pasted in from wherever you already wrote it. Duties, pay, hours, benefits, what is required. There is no length worth worrying about.

No fee section appears on a job opening. Nobody pays to apply for a job.

A button of your own

Most hiring already happens somewhere: a city HR page, Indeed, an applicant tracking system. Put that link in and name the button, then choose what it does:

The middle one is why this exists. You keep a record of everybody who was interested even though the real form lives on somebody else's system.

What the form asks

Name and email are always asked. Beyond that a job opening offers their phone, what experience they have, and their own page.

There is no stall size on a job opening, because that is a market question and a job is not a market.

Send me an email when somebody applies is the address every application lands in. Fill it in or you are relying on opening this screen.

What else you want to know

Anything the built-in boxes do not cover: can you work nights, do you hold the certification, which shift suits you, tell us about yourself.

Each question can be a short answer, a long one, yes or no, or a list you write. Mark one as needed and the form will not send without it. Eight at most.

What they answer sits under their name in the queue below.

When it is open

Taking applications off closes it and keeps every application you already have.

Show this on the tour puts a Job openings card on the tour's menu. Off keeps the link working and shows nothing there, which is right for a position you are only advertising by link.

Copy it into a posting, an email or a newsletter. See what they see opens it so you can check it before it goes anywhere.

The link in the list is a real link you can press. The page it opens says Job openings at the top, not Vendor applications, so nobody arriving at it is confused about what they are applying for.

Who applied

Everybody who applied, with their email, their phone and every answer they gave.

They are in and Not this time both email them for you. Answer everybody: a town that answers its applicants is a town people apply to again.
