Private/Internal Job Posts

Overview

Private or internal job posts let you manage hiring discreetly. You can:

• Hide from Career Page: Post jobs to select job boards but keep them off your public careers page.
• Fully Internalized: Keep jobs completely private, hidden from both job boards and your career page, while still sourcing candidates manually.
• Hybrid Approaches: Mix visibility settings to balance privacy and external reach.

This is different from confidential job postings—private/internal jobs give you flexible control over distribution without exposing the role broadly.

How to Create Private/Internal Job Posts:

Option 1. Selective Distribution (Hide from Career Page Only)

Use this option if you want a job visible on external boards but not on your career page.

1. Enable “Post to Career Page”

• Contact support@discovered.ai to request this toggle on your account.
• Once enabled, navigate to a job post.
• Click on Find & Evaluate Talent tab.

• Look for the Post to Career Page switch.

2. Turn Off Career Page Visibility

• When editing or creating a job post, toggle Post to Career Page OFF.

3. Choose Specific Job Boards

• Still in Find & Evaluate Talent, go to Post on Job Boards.

• Select only the job boards you want the role to appear on.
• Save your changes.

Option 2. Fully Internalized Job Posts (No External Visibility)

Use this option when you want a job hidden from both job boards and your career page.

1. Create a Minimal Job Post

• Keep the job title under 100 characters.
• Use minimal details (even just repeat the title in the description).

2. Confirm Visibility Settings

• In Find & Evaluate Talent, make sure:
  • Do not click "Post on Job Boards" feature as you want to keep this private.

• Post to Career Page is toggled OFF (if available on your account).

3. Manually Add Candidates

• In Find & Evaluate Talent:
  • Upload Resumes directly in Upload Resumes tab.

• Use Manual Import to add candidates with either CSV option or by manually typing candidate details.

• Copy the Application Link and share it with select candidates.
• Copy the To-Do List Link (with assessments) and share directly.

Why This Matters

Private/Internal Job Posts give you:

• Discretion: Keep sensitive roles hidden from public visibility.
• Flexibility: Still collect candidates via select boards or direct sourcing.
• Control: Manage how and where candidates see your openings.

Use Cases

• Discreet Hiring: Recruit for sensitive roles without alerting employees or competitors.
• Internal Referrals: Allow staff to recommend candidates privately.
• Candidate Pooling: Collect resumes for networking leads without posting a full job ad.
• Special Projects: Manage confidential or short-term assignments without broad exposure.

Best Practices

• Plan Visibility Early: Decide whether you need external board exposure or complete privacy.
• Use Minimal Descriptions: For fully internal posts, keep details short to avoid accidental exposure.
• Track Links Carefully: Store application or to-do list links securely for manual candidate sourcing.
• Check Permissions: Ensure only authorized team members can view internal posts.
• Ask Support for Hybrid Needs: If you want a mix (e.g., job boards but no career page visibility), contact support.

What Happens Next

Once configured:

• Jobs hidden from the career page will not be visible to the public or your employees.
• Fully internalized jobs will only collect candidates you add manually or through private links.
• All candidate activity and progress is still tracked within the ATS, ensuring consistency with your standard hiring workflows.
