Your careers website

Recruitment publishes a careers website on a subdomain of your own — something like careers.yourcompany.com — listing your live jobs and taking applications.

Applications on the new careers website

Once applications have been enabled for your new careers website, candidates can apply for a live role or send a general application without creating an account. They enter their contact details, agree to the privacy notice, and can attach a PDF, Word or DOCX CV up to 20 MB, which leaves room for a portfolio or artwork samples saved in the same file. CVs are checked before they are accepted and are stored privately.

A successful submission shows an application reference. The candidate receives an email receipt, and your recruitment contact receives a notification. Applications for a tribe’s role are linked to that role and tribe. General applications are available to your organisation’s recruitment team. Email delivery is retried for up to 48 hours; a missing staff notification does not block the candidate’s acknowledgement. After that window, contact Gorilla Dash support to investigate any missing email; the application remains available in Recruitment. If the form says submissions are disabled, contact Gorilla Dash to finish enabling applications before inviting candidates to apply.

For a general resume submission, choose one or more Desired Roles and add a Preferred Location. The role list uses your active recruitment roles. Search for a city, region or country and select a result; repeat to add more locations. Where shown, record whether you have the right to work in each location. The location choices follow your recruitment location restrictions, just as on the former careers website, but candidates do not need to log in.

These choices appear on the candidate’s existing recruitment profile fields. When a candidate agrees to share their resume, tribes in their preferred state, province or region can receive the usual shared-resume notification. Choosing only a whole country does not email every tribe in that country.

To open your public careers page, go to the Recruitment Dashboard and select Visit Website at the top. It opens in a new tab using your saved recruitment domain. The button is available to users who can manage recruitment once a valid domain is saved in Settings.

Setting the domain

Under Settings, enter your Recruitment Sub Domain. The page then shows you the DNS record to add — a CNAME pointing at Gorilla Dash.

Styling it

Website Content & Design controls the whole look — your logo, toolbar and button colours, banner images and captions, the copy on the submit-resume page, your legal notice and privacy link, and the wording of the emails candidates receive.

Background Colour sits beside Primary Colour. It starts at the new careers website’s warm off-white colour (#FAF9F6) when no colour has been saved. Choose a colour and select Save to store it. This setting is used by the new careers website; older careers websites do not use it.

Extra pages

Under Website Pages you can add pages beyond the job list — why work here, benefits, your hiring process. Each has a name, a slug, headings, content and images, and can appear in the site's menu.

Prepare a careers page for a tribe

Each tribe can have its own careers page that describes the team and what it is like to work there. A tribe is one location, branch or business unit inside your organisation; your organisation may use a different name for it in the menu.

1. Open Recruitment → Settings for the tribe, then scroll below the notification settings to Careers Page. The page uses your organisation’s chosen name for tribes. You need permission to edit recruitment for this tribe.
2. Enter a Page Title and Introduction, then describe About Our Team and Why Work With Us. These fields are plain text; line breaks are kept.
3. Under Page Image, choose or upload an image in the media picker. Add an Image Description for people using screen readers.
4. When the page is ready to be shown, turn on Show this page on the careers site and select Save Careers Page. This saves the page and records that it should be shown; because the page is not public yet, nothing on your careers site changes today.
5. If the page should stay hidden, leave the switch off, or turn it off and save. Your saved copy and image are kept either way.

The switch starts off. A Page Title and Introduction are only required when the switch is on. Recruitment email recipients are managed in the Recruitment Notification Settings section above it, which has its own Save button.

Where else jobs appear

Live jobs can also be pulled into a tribe's normal Gorilla Dash website, so a tribe site can list its own vacancies.

The location allowlist

Settings has an Applicant Location Allowlist restricting where candidates can say they want to work. The screen says leaving it empty means no restriction; in practice an empty list restricts candidates to the countries where you currently have live jobs. If you have no live jobs, they have nothing to choose. Set the list explicitly if it matters.
