1. New vacancy

1.1 Create new vacancy

• In your WordPress dashboard (in the primary language of your website) navigate to  ‘Jobs’ and then ‘Add new‘ or ‘Duplicate an existing vacancy‘.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Note: We recommend to duplicate an existing vacancy as then the standard information of the hotel is already filled in. This saves you time & avoids making mistakes about the general hotel information. 
  
• Click on Quick Edit and add the title of the job and the slug.
  
• After that, click on update.
  
• If you would like to change the ‘date‘ of your vacancy, you can also update this here. Note: the date of the vacancy defines the order of vacancies on the vacancy page. 
  

• Click on Edit
  
• Now you can fill in the Google Jobs Data fields in the editor:
  

1. Job Summary: add max 3 lines. This will be visible in the preview of the job (on the overview page).
   
2. Featured Image: this image will be shown in the preview and in the hero section of the vacancy.
   
3. Job Description: describe what the job is about.
   
4. Job Responsibilities: what responsibilities does the job include.
   
5. Job Requirements: what requirements should the applicant meet.
   
6. What do we offer section: what you as the hotel offer the applicant.
   

1. Education Requirements: no requirements, high school, associate degree, bachelor degree, professional certificate, postgraduate degree.
   
2. Experience Requirements: minimal number of months of experience.
   
3. Employment Type: full-time, part-time, contractor, temporary, intern, volunteer, per diem, other.
   
4. Location: where the hotel is located.
   

1.2.1 Add a featured image

The image in the overview page is set by the featured image of the vacancy, to be found in the right-hand side menu (see screenshot below).

To make sure your vacancy will be shown for the right keywords, you have to make sure to be as specific as possible.

• Choose a specific job title by adding words like ‘senior’, ‘part-time’, or the location of your hotel
  
• Use this specific job title in the title, description, and the metadata
  
• Make sure the content is convincing towards the interested user
  

2. Add Translation

• Translating the vacancy to other languages should be done through WPML in the right-hand side menu, by clicking on the pencil or arrows:
  
• Or you can translate through the WPML option in the jobs pages overview in WordPress:
  
  
  
• In the following screen you can translate each sentence.
  
• After that you need to check the box underneath (Translation is complete) until you’ve reached 100% in the bottom of your screen.
  
• Having problems? Read this article about WPML or contact us.
  

Vacancy in specific language

3. Take vacancy offline

• Once the position is filled or the response period has ended, you have to take the vacancy offline to avoid confusion.
  
• You can do this by changing the status of the page to draft:
  
• After that, the page will disappear from the jobs overview page on your website. However, this will not take your vacancy from the Google Jobs search result, because Google needs some time to check if the vacancy is still there.
  
• Ask us to set up a redirect so all traffic coming from Google will not be shown an error page. Instead, this traffic will be redirected to, for example, the job overview page.
  
• Another temporary solution could be to add ‘position filled’ to the vacancy page so that users know they won’t be able to react anymore.
