In this tutorial you will add your own fields to jobs and companies, without writing code. You need WP Career Board Pro, installed and active. It takes about three minutes. There are five steps. Open the Field Builder. Add a group. Add a field. Add fields for companies. Then see it on the job page. Step one. Open the Field Builder. Go to Career Board, then Settings, and click Field Builder. It is a Pro tab. There is a tab for each place a field can go: jobs, companies, candidates, resumes, and questions on the application form. Step two. Add a group. Fields sit in groups, each with a heading. Click Add group to start a new one, and give it a label. Here, the job fields have one group, Role details, with two fields. A job group shows on every board, unless you add a board to Hide on boards. Step three. Add a field. Open the group, and click Add field. The form asks for a label and a field type. There are seventeen types, such as text, dropdown, date and location. Here is the Visa sponsorship field, opened with Edit. Visibility sets who sees it on the job page: everyone, the employer only, or admins only. A dropdown also needs its choices. The field key is made for you. Step four. Add fields for companies. Click Company fields. Groups and fields work the same way here. This site has none yet. Company fields show on the company profile form, in the employer dashboard. Step five. See it on the job page. As a visitor, open a job. Job fields with an answer show under Additional details. Here, Visa sponsorship reads Case by case, and Team size reads six designers. Your board now asks for what matters to you. That is all five. Open the Field Builder, add a group, add a field, add fields for companies, and see it on the job page. You can now add your own fields to jobs and companies. Next in this series: Ask screening questions when people apply.
