Build your own automated jobs board in minutes

Introduction

Manual recruitment is costly and time-consuming, especially if you want to connect your talent community to roles posted by employers. Finding relevant roles before they get lots of applications, notifying your community, following up on applications - this could previously be all-consuming, when time is better spent on providing high-impact support, such as career guidance or interview preparation assistance.

That's why we built Spacewalk, a job placement platform- a job placement platform that harnesses the power of automated job sourcing and intelligent talent matching working behind the scenes to connect job seekers in your talent community with the right opportunities automatically.

In just 5 easy steps, you can create your own private or public job board in minutes that continuously streams newly listed job opportunities for your talent community to view, see how they match, and apply. What used to take many ongoing hours of manual work now happens automatically, including sourcing roles from employers as soon as they're listed. Not only does this give your talent community early access to the latest roles, it frees up your time to to focus on what matters most - such as developing your talent community.

Ready to transform your job placement process? Here's how to set up your own automated talent marketplace using Spacewalk.

STEP 1: Tell us you automated job stream requirements (1 minute)

When you get started, the first thing we'll ask you is your automatic job stream requirements in a simple form - the types of roles, locations, experience levels, specific niches and any other criteria that matter to your talent community. It just takes a minute and we'll then configure this real-time job placement system for you. It will be up and running within hours, automatically giving you a personalised stream of opportunities that match your exact criteria, giving you early access to roles before they're widely advertised.

The beauty of this system is that it never stops working. Whilst you sleep, Spacewalk continues building your pipeline of qualified opportunities for your talent community.

While we're configuring your stream (or if you don't need the job stream) you can move straight on to creating your account and setting up your jobs marketplace....

STEP 2: Create your account (onboarding) (5 minutes)

You can go straight ahead and create your Spacewalk account and provide basic information about yourself, your company and your jobs marketplace vision. We'll ask you to select your marketplace country and industry focus, give your marketplace a name and description and choose which plan you'd like to try on the free trial.

Don't worry about getting everything perfect - all of this information can be updated later from your dashboard. This initial setup simply helps us configure the right foundation for your customisable job board and ensures you get the most relevant job board features from day one.

The onboarding process is designed to be quick and straightforward, getting you closer to your automated job placement software in just a couple of minutes.

STEP 3: Customise your company profile (2 minutes)

You can now customise your company profile, adding a description, website link and logo. Whether you're showcasing individual job seekers or your training programme graduates, this step establishes your digital presence in the marketplace.

You can also add an unlimited number of colleagues as co-admins to help manage your jobs board, post roles, review applicants, control access, view metrics and reports, and more.

STEP 4: Customise your jobs marketplace (5 minutes)

Now it's time to make the jobs board truly yours. From your dashboard you can:

  • Update settings: Simply toggle features and settings on or off to suit you - eg set job board access to public or private
  • Add your branding: Add a logo and banner image, set a personalised URL and a social sharing image around your professional identity
  • Customise: Change terminology to suit your audience

Spacewalk's B2B SaaS job board infrastructure adapts to your workflow, whether you're running a small skills programme or managing large scale talent management.

Now you're ready to invite your talent community to join...

STEP 5: Invite your talent community (2 minutes)

The final step is bringing your community onto the platform. Spacewalk's one-click job board invitation system makes this effortless - simply paste in the email addresses of the people you would like to invite and they will all receive a personalised invitation from you and will directly onboard to your jobs marketplace. Additionally, you can invite people individually as required and also share the link to your jobs board. You will also be able to see who has joined.

As soon as community members join, they gain access to your jobs board and this will be able to instantly see which roles are matched to them. They will also receive personalised job match notifications and apply directly to employers.

This is where the magic happens: your community members start getting matched with new opportunities posted by employers automatically, as soon as they are published by employers, and can apply directly for the roles.
