Creating and Publishing Job Reqs in DriverReach

The Careers section (commonly referred to as "job reqs") in DriverReach offers a streamlined way to create and publish job postings to attract qualified CDL drivers. This guide walks you through the steps to create, manage, and publish job reqs—currently accessed via the A&P table—ensuring they reach the right candidates.

Step 1: Creating a Job Posting

To create a new job req:

1. Navigate to the Careers Section: Access the carres section via the Links dropdown in the App Links Navigation

2. Click "Add Career" on the right hand side of the page, under the HTML URL and JSON links
   

3. Add details about your job posting

• • Job Title: The name of the position you’re hiring for.

  • Subtitle: A short description of the job that appears below the job title.

  • Description: Provide details about the role, responsibilities, and qualifications.

    • Use the rich text editor to format the description:

      • Apply bold, italic, or underlined text to emphasize key points.

      • Use bullet or numbered lists for clarity.

      • Insert links to additional resources or application forms.

      • Use the "Insert Field" dropdown to auto-populate fields like company names or locations.

4. Specify Additional Attributes: 

• • Checkboxes: Indicate if the position is DOT-regulated, remote-work eligible, or requires specific endorsements.

  • License Class: Select the required license type from the dropdown (e.g., Class A, B, C, or Non-CDL).

    

  • Minimum Age Requirement: Specify the minimum age for the position.

  • Required Experience: Choose the level of experience needed from the dropdown (e.g., 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-2 years, etc.).
    
    

  • Vehicle Type: Select the vehicle(s) associated with the position from options like flatbeds, dry vans, tankers, and more.
    

  • Driver Type: Define the type of driver needed (e.g., local, regional, OTR, driver trainer, etc.).

    

  • Position Type: Specify whether the role is full-time, part-time, or another category.

  • Location: Choose the job’s location based on the business’s predefined locations in DriverReach.

• • Enter the Compensation Amount, which is the dollar amount the candidate will receive. You do not have to add a currency symbol ($), only the numbers. 

  • Select the Compensation Frequency to indicate how often the payment will be made (e.g., hourly, weekly, monthly).

    
    
    Hiring Areas: Careers must be associated with one or more hiring areas. The "Hiring Radius" optionally designates the number of miles surrounding each of the hiring areas where a candidate is preferred to be located.
    
    • Select the City, State, and Zip Code for the hiring area 
    • Click on "Add Hiring Area" to add additional eligible areas to your job posting

5. Add a phone number. If you'd like a specific recruiter or contact number to appear with the job posting, you can add one in at the bottom. 

6. Save the Job Req: Review the details and save your draft. Saving adds the job req to your list without publishing it yet.

Step 2: Publishing the Job Req

For a job req to be visible to applicants, it must be marked as published:

1. Locate the Draft Job Req:

   • Find the job req in your Careers dashboard.

2. Mark as Published:

   • Select the draft and toggle the Published setting. This will make the job req visible on your public Careers page and JSON feed.

3. Verify Publication:

   • • Public HTML URL: Check your Careers page to confirm that the job req is live.
     • JSON Feed: If you’re using the JSON feed, verify that the job req appears correctly for external integrations.
   
   

Best Practices for Creating Job Reqs

• Be Specific and Clear: Use concise, compelling language to describe the position, including required qualifications and benefits.

• Include a Strong Call to Action: Encourage candidates to apply by emphasizing why your company is a great place to work.

• Leverage Locations: Associating job reqs with specific locations helps candidates find positions relevant to them.

Managing Job Reqs

Once a job req is published, you can:

• Edit Job Details: Update descriptions, titles, or hiring areas as needed.

• Unpublish or Delete: If a position is no longer available, unpublish or archive the job req (admins only).

• Filter and Search: Use state or location filters to quickly locate specific job reqs.
