Build your job board.

How to build your job board

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Build a job board around employers, role details and reviewed listings.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the employer records the employer and how the job-board moderator reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your job board

• Keep the employer in context

  Keep employer, job listing, location, application route, review status and expiry together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  An employer's listing expires while an old application link remains active. Flag the listing for review and make its current status clear before accepting a new submission.

• Keep expiry visible

  Keep an incomplete role listing in review rather than publishing it.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the employer a working view and the job-board moderator a review view. Keep employer and job listing attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
