## Steps to Share Job Postings Externally:

### 1. **Navigate to the Recruitment Module**

- **Log in** to HRSimplified and go to the **Recruitment Module** from the main menu.
- Click on **Job Postings** to view your list of active and inactive jobs.

### 2. **Select a Job Posting**

- From the **Job Postings** list, select the job posting you wish to share.
- Click **Edit** to open the job posting details.

### 3. **Go to the Job Posting URLs Tab**

- In the job posting editor, navigate to the **Job Posting URLs** tab. This is where you’ll find the external sharing options for the job posting.

### 4. **Generate the External URL**

- HRSimplified automatically generates a unique **external URL** for each job posting. This URL will take candidates to an **external page** where they can view the job details and apply directly.
- You can copy this URL and use it for sharing across different platforms.

## Sharing Job Postings on External Platforms:

### 1. **Share on LinkedIn and Facebook**

- To share the job posting on social media platforms:
  - Copy the **external URL** from the **Job Posting URLs** tab.
  - Post the link directly on your company’s **LinkedIn**, **Facebook**, or any other social media profiles.
  - Add a short description or call-to-action encouraging candidates to apply.

### 2. **Sharing via Direct Email**

- You can also share job postings via email by copying the **external URL** and pasting it into the body of your email message.
- Use this option to send direct job postings to potential candidates or include them in **email newsletters**.

### 3. **Embedding the Job Posting on Job Boards**

- Some companies prefer to post job openings on **job boards** or **careers pages**. Simply copy the external URL and paste it into the relevant job board submission form.
- This allows you to direct traffic back to the **HRSimplified** system where candidates can apply.

## External Candidate Experience:

When candidates click the external URL:

- They will be taken to a **job listing page** that displays the job title, description, required skills, and other details.
- Candidates will be asked to submit their **email address** and click **Apply**.
- Afterward, they will be directed to a form where they can upload their **CV**, enter **education**, and list their **skills**.
- Once submitted, they’ll receive a login to the **Candidate Portal** to track their application.

## Important Notes:

- **SEO Optimization**: Before sharing, make sure the job posting has been optimized with relevant **keywords** and a **short preview description** in the **Job Posting URLs** tab. This will help improve visibility on search engines.
- **External Applications**: Candidates who apply through external URLs will be tracked in the **Recruitment Module** under the **View Applicants** section, making it easy for HR to manage applications.
