Article Summary

You manage a career site right after the site has been created to complete its configuration. When you are managing a site, you can configure site pages (including the job opening ad page and talent pool ad page), layouts, details, google analytics, etc., as well as publish the site. You can return to site management at any moment, for example, when you want to change its configuration.

Note
A lot of site elements are pre-configured on the basis of the chosen site template during site creation, however, you can change these elements if need be. If you chose a blank site template during site creation, you will need to configure all site pages from scratch.

To manage a career site:

  2. On the Sites page, select Manage Site on the tile of the site that you want to manage.

The site management page has the following tabs where you can configure site elements:
