On teamdetails, people apply through recruitment tracks representing one or more vacancies (you can read more about our core concepts here).

Each recruitment track has a separate public page. Potential applicants will go to the public page to find more information about the role(s) and, if interested, start their application for that track. While the track is open, anyone can view the public page - they only need to register/login if they decide to apply.

Open recruitment tracks will also be listed on the homepage of your teamdetails site.

When you are listing vacancies externally - e.g. on your own website, on social media, etc - we recommend linking to the public page for each specific recruitment track, rather than to your teamdetails homepage. This will ensure applicants see the most relevant information first, especially if you have multiple recruitment tracks open at the same time.

Each recruitment track has three different places where you can add information for potential applicants:

  • Summary text - This appears when the track appears in lists of current opportunities - e.g. on the homepage. It also appears at the top of a track's public page. At present it only supports plain text. We recommend using this field to give a short "teaser" - equivalent to the information you'd put on a tweet / advert. It should be short enough that the opportunity lists give visitors an overview of the tracks that are open, with just enough information for them to click through to find out more about tracks that may be suitable for them.
  • Public page content - This is the main content of the public page. You can add simple formatting and links to external resources. This is usually where you'd provide fuller information about the vacancy or vacancies that people would apply for through this recruitment track.
  • Intro text - This appears in the first tab of the application form, after someone has decided to apply for a track. It only supports plain text. In many cases you may be happy to leave this field empty. Alternatively, you might choose to include information about how to contact a line manager with specific questions about the role, or to remind applicants to highlight specific skills or experience in their applications.

Adding and updating content

Public pages are a relatively new feature on teamdetails. They are part of a longer term programme of development to add new features related to recruitment tracks. As part of this we will be making gradual changes to the interface for setting up & managing tracks.

At the moment, you add and update track content in two places:

  • Summary text and Intro text (for the application form) - you configure this on the main "Edit track" form, where you will also configure the track's name, opening & closing dates, etc.
  • Public page content - you add & update this directly on the public page.

Editing content on the public page

  • If you are creating a new track, save it - this will create a new public page with empty content.
  • Follow the link to the public page - e.g. from the "Edit Track" form, below the summary text field. 
  • Click the "Edit page" button at the top of the page
  • You will see the content area appear below the "Apply now" button. Click into the editor to make any changes.
  • When you finish editing click the "Save changes" button at the top of the page. Please note that the editor does not auto-save, so you must click save changes or you will lose your work.
