Explanation of terms

With the job list, an overview of your job advertisements is displayed on any website and presented in your corporate design.

You can create different job lists according to your needs. For example, a list with only trainee job ads, one with IT jobs, one with only English-language entries, one with other jobs, and much more.


These benefits are offered by the job list

  • You can easily set the font, colors, background colors, and much more.
  • Use filters to help applicants find the right job faster.
  • If you have a specific target group or location in mind, you can create a job list with predefined filters, which will only display corresponding results.
  • The resulting JavaScript widget can be embedded on your website or any other website.
  • If an agency is responsible for your website, the code can alternatively be sent by e-mail.

  • Notes on configuring a new job list

    • Font
      • Input of the font: The name of the font must be entered exactly as it is called/written. Otherwise, it will not be recognized.
      • Display of the font
        • In the preview, the job list is displayed with the browser's default fonts.
        • If you use your own font, this can only be displayed in our application portal once the font has been installed in our layout. Write to us, we will send you an offer for this.
        • If you use your own font, it can only be displayed on your website if the font is installed locally on your website.
    • Colour values: If you have not yet selected any colour values, you can tell by the icon behind the field for entering colour values.
    • Syllabification: Syllabification is performed according to the settings of the browser used and automatically breaks long names. If errors occur due to the hyphenation of the browser, it often helps to use other and possibly shorter words. It can also help to use a job list layout that makes longer entries possible, such as the list.
    • Limitation of the filter options: The information working times, contract period, and earliest possible start date from the results list cannot be shown or hidden as filters.
    • Back to the job list: If you have opened a job ad in the existing window in the preview, you can click on the "Refresh button" to return to the job list view.
    • Reset: The Reset button resets your changes to the last saved status. So save regularly to simply undo any changes that are inappropriate.
    • Code for the job list/integration on websites
      • A code is generated by your selections on the job list page. This code/the resulting JavaScript widget can be embedded on your or any other website.
      • The code can be called up via the button </> Embed in website. Here you will also find the option to send the code directly to other people by email. For example, to the agency that is responsible for your website.
      • It is possible that the email with the code will end up in your recipients' spam. We cannot influence this, but it is due to the security settings of your recipients' email providers. If you do not hear from the person who is supposed to embed the code in the website, please ask again whether the email has arrived.
      • Important: Each job list requires its own website on which it is inserted. If you insert several codes on one page, only the first job list will be displayed.
      • Changes that are made, saved, and published in the job list are directly visible on all pages on which the code has been integrated.
    • Error message at integration on websites

      In special constellations, your CMS may display an error message. For example, a Wordpress plugin recognized the code for the job list as unsafe and was no longer able to display the job list. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control. Please report these cases to us and we will check whether we can do anything about it.
