Vacancy Data Mapping / Vacancy details🔗

This section allows the administrator to map the vacancy/job posting details.

Vacancy/job descriptions usually contains these four sections:

  • Employer description: This section provides information about the organization or company that is offering the job, including its size, history, mission statement, and culture. It may also include details about the company's values, work environment, and overall reputation.
  • Job description: This section outlines the specific responsibilities and duties of the job, including required skills, education, experience, and any necessary certifications. It may also provide information about the expected level of performance, working hours, and location.
  • Candidate profile: This section describes the ideal candidate for the position, including their skills, experience, and education. It may also provide information about the organization or company's culture and values and the kind of personality traits that are considered important for success in the role.
  • Conditions & benefits: This section outlines the compensation and benefits package that the organization or company is offering, including salary, bonuses, health insurance, retirement plans, and any other perks. It may also provide information about the working conditions, such as flexible hours or remote work options.

These four sections may be available separately in the ATS as dedicated fields, so they can be mapped to its respective field Employer description, Job description, Candidate profile and Conditions & benefits.

Other ATSes have a single field that contains the full job description, which can be mapped to the dedicated field Vacancy Text. Alternatively, if the ATS stores the job description in a separate file, such as a PDF or Word document, this can be mapped in the Textkernel app section Document.
