1. Setting up your account

Before posting your first job, you need to properly set up your JOIN account.

Steps to set up your account:

Create your account: No manual sign-up required. Your JOIN account is created automatically via your Skello login.
Complete your company profile: Add your website, logo, description, industry and company size. A complete profile builds trust with candidates.
Team members: No manual invitation required. Team members with the right permissions in Skello have their JOIN account created automatically (make sure to enable the permission for the relevant licences). Synchronisation is fully managed by Skello.
Set up your notifications: Configure email alerts for new applications, messages and status changes directly in Join.
Customise your careers page: Create a careers page that reflects your brand, with your company colours and message.

💡 Tip: A complete company profile increases the visibility of your job postings and attracts more qualified candidates.

2. Creating a job

Writing an attractive job posting is essential to attract the right candidates.

Steps to create a job:

Go to Jobs → Create a job from your dashboard.
- Use the built-in AI assistant to help you write or improve your job description: it automatically generates tailored content based on the title and information you enter.
Fill in the job title, location and work type (on-site, remote or hybrid).
Write a clear, detailed job description: include responsibilities, requirements and benefits.
Select the contract type (permanent, fixed-term, freelance, internship, apprenticeship).
Indicate the salary range — job postings that display a salary receive significantly more applications.
Add customised pre-screening questions to filter candidates from the start.
Assign the team members responsible for reviewing applications.

💡 Tip: Use JOIN's built-in job description templates to save time and make sure nothing essential is missed.

Once your job posting is complete, click Publish job to make it live.

What happens automatically:

The job is distributed to a selection of free job boards (Indeed, LinkedIn, Google for Jobs, Glassdoor, Jooble, etc.) with no manual action required — this is called organic multiposting.
The job appears on your JOIN careers page.
Applications received from all channels are automatically centralised in JOIN's applications section.

Job statuses:

Active: visible to candidates on job boards and your careers page.
Offline: hidden from job boards, but existing applications remain manageable.
Archived: position closed, applications are read-only and no longer count towards your limit.

Boost visibility (optional):

From the Jobs → Active tab, click Promote to access premium options (LinkedIn, Indeed, Stepstone, social media, etc.).
Use Smart Spend to set a budget and let JOIN experts select the best platforms.
Share the direct link to your job on social media or your website.

💡 Tip: Changes made to an already-published job may take 24 to 48 hours to update on external job boards.

Keeping candidates informed and engaged is essential for a successful recruitment experience.

How to communicate with candidates on JOIN:

Open a candidate's profile from the job pipeline view or the Applications section.
Use the Messages tab to send and receive emails directly in JOIN — no need to switch to your email client.
Use email templates for standard communications (application confirmation, interview invitation, rejection).
Schedule interviews directly from the platform and automatically send calendar invitations.
Leave internal notes on a candidate's profile to share feedback with your team (invisible to the candidate).
Set up automatic messages to instantly acknowledge applications.

💡 Tip: Fast, personalized communication strengthens your employer brand and reduces candidate drop-off.

JOIN offers a clear pipeline view to organise and track all your applications.

How to manage your candidates:

Access your Pipeline from the job dashboard: candidates are organised by stage (e.g. New, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired…).
Drag and drop candidates from one stage to the next as the process progresses.
Use filters to sort candidates by status, application date, rating or source.
Rate and tag candidates to prioritise the most promising profiles.
Assign candidates to specific team members for review.
Archive unsuccessful candidates while keeping their data for future opportunities.
Once you've found the right candidate, drag them to "Hired" to automatically create them in Skello.

💡 Tip: Use the Kanban view for a quick visual overview of each candidate's progress through your pipeline.

JOIN integrates with the main job boards to distribute your jobs with a single click.

How to connect your account to a job board:

Go to Settings → Integrations in your JOIN account.
Browse the list of available job boards (e.g. Indeed, LinkedIn, StepStone, Monster, Glassdoor, etc.).
Click Connect next to the job board of your choice.
Follow the authentication steps — you may need an existing account on that job board.
Once connected, select the job board when publishing your next job.
Track performance metrics (clicks, applications) by channel directly in JOIN's Analytics dashboard.

Available integration types:

💡 Tip: Start with free job boards to test your posting, then invest in premium placements for hard-to-fill positions.
