Managing applications from Jobserve

When you post a job on Jobserve, applications will arrive via your given email address. Even if you provide an address created purely to gather applications, you’ll still need to keep on top of that email inbox over the following weeks.

Many companies use an applicant tracking system to help manage the flow of candidates. Instead of individual Jobserve applications arriving by email, an applicant tracking system will automatically gather applications into a searchable candidate database. A profile is created for every candidate which can be shared with your co-workers or hiring team. The system will also keep track of feedback and evaluations, streamlining your communications and ultimately, your recruiting process.

Using Workable with Jobserve

Collecting applications from Jobserve into your Workable account is easy. You can still gather your candidates in your Workable pipeline for review. Once you’ve used Workable to post the job to your chosen free job sites or bought any additional premium posts, you’ll see the job shortlink on the Your Network step:

When you’re completing the details of your job post on Jobserve, copy this job shortlink into the ‘Online Application URL’ field in the ‘Application Information’ section of the page:

Now, candidates who apply through your Jobserve post will be visible in the ‘applied’ stage of your Workable pipeline, ready for review with your team.
