What is the Careers Site Builder?
Careers Site Builder gives you the tools to update the branding on your candidate site.
What are the benefits of it?
One of the main benefits of using the Careers Site Builder is the ability to make updates and create new content for your site in just a few clicks, without relying on a third party.
Accessing Careers Site Builder
You can access Careers Site Builder via Brand Builder by following the steps below:
Log into the Jobtrain system user profile. Go to Settings > Brand Builder. Select Internal/External Login depending on which site you wish to amend.
The brand builder site will then be displayed where you can start to make changes and build your site.
Read our Brand Builder guide here.
Can I restrict access?
You can provide and restrict access to the Careers Site Builder via Brand Builder per security role by following the below steps:
Settings > Security Roles > Settings > Brand Builder Setting.
How do I use the Careers Site Builder?
When you first log into your site, you will be presented with the homepage, along with five buttons on the left-hand side.
These are what you will use to navigate and create your way through the setup of each page.

You can see any changes you make to your candidate site by going to your vacancies site.

Video
1. When uploading a video, ensure that you select the pencil.
2. You will then be able to add the video from YouTube or Vimeo.
Example:

Example - if the 11 digits are between = and &:
If we added this YouTube video: hA46h6G71xo&t , we would insert hA46h6G71xo into the Video ID field.
After adding the digits in this field, click Add Video.
Benefits

FAQs
Can I restrict who has access to this functionality?
Absolutely. As with most areas of Jobtrain, this functionality can be restricted in Security Roles within Settings.
You can restrict access to Brand Builder per security role by following the below steps:
Settings > Security Roles > Settings > Brand Builder Setting.
If you need support with updating access using Security Roles, please contact your Continuous Improvement Consultant or the Support Team who will be happy to help.
I’ve followed the guidance notes and have some further questions.
