# Job openings

A table for the jobs you are hiring for, with pay, hours, what the job is and how to apply, shown on your site's careers page.

## Use it when

Use it when you hire people and want each open job on your website with the facts an applicant looks for: the kind of job, where it is, the pay and hours, what the work is, who you're looking for and how to apply.

## Use something else when

For work you do for customers, use [Job tracker](/docs/features/data/presets/job-tracker-table). To introduce the people already on your team, use [People](/docs/features/data/presets/people-table).

## How to add it

1. Open your site in **My Sites**.
2. Under its sidebar, press **Add item**.
3. Press **Add to site**.
4. Choose **Job openings** and keep **New table**, or reuse a compatible existing table.
5. Check the public columns, then press **Review changes**.
6. Check the changes and press **Apply**.

The table appears in this site's sidebar, not as a separate app sidebar feature. See [Job openings on your site](/docs/features/sites/presets/job-openings-section) for settings and putting it on a page. No existing rows are copied or published.

## How to add a job

1. Open **Jobs**, or the name you gave it.
2. Press **New job**. If you renamed the table, the button may say something else.
3. Under **Job title**, type the job, such as "Event server".
4. Fill in the **Location**. Add the pay, hours and how to apply when you're ready.
5. Press **Create job**.

You see **Job created**, and the job is in your list.

| Label | The name of the jobs table created in this business. | Jobs |

## Example

Maple Street Hall, a fictional event venue, adds "Event server", Part-time, in Lansing, $16 an hour, Friday and Saturday evenings, with what the job involves, what it asks for and its application link. When the post is filled it sets the job to **Closed** and writes "This role is filled, thank you" under **When closed**.

## Limits

- Applications aren't collected in the table. People apply through your link or email.
- The pay and hours are words you write, not amounts the site works out.
- A job isn't closed by itself on its closing date. Set it to **Closed** yourself.
