How to Embed jobs on your website

If you’re a company admin, you can customize your career site in your Breezy Recruiting Preferences.

You’ll see each section of the portal settings in the left sidebar. You can skip directly to a specific section any time to make changes.

You can choose from two career portal layouts, Simple and Bold. Both templates are mobile-optimized, so they’re ready to go on any device.

The layout you choose will determine the additional options you see on the left sidebar.

If you select the Simple layout for your careers site, you can add basic info about your company here, including:

The General section is not shown if you choose the Bold layout.

If you choose the Bold layout for your portal, you can:

The logo you upload will be displayed on a white background, so try to choose an image with color for contrast. Breezy will use your logo to generate a complementary color palette, which you can customize further if you like.

You can also add your own hero background image and adjust a color overlay to improve readability. We recommend using an image size of 1080 x 608. Just upload the perfect picture, then you can use a slider to adjust the intensity of the color overlay.

If you choose the Simple layout, the Appearance section only includes the option to enable applications through LinkedIn or Indeed.

If you're using the Bold template, you can customize the text that appears on the hero. We’ll include defaults, but you can customize the header, subheader, and description with something that suits your employer brand.

Additional languages

Career portals default to English, but Breezy supports multiple languages. We detect the language set by a visitor’s web browser and automatically choose from our supported languages.

You can also specify a language for your career portal. Just scroll to the Language dropdown and select a language.

The Messaging section is not shown if you choose the Simple layout.

With either the Simple or Bold layout, you can add links for your company website and social profiles, including:

You can also choose whether to display the links on the main page of open positions, on the position detail pages, or both.

Have unique, fun, or valuable perks you want to highlight? You can customize titles and choose an icon for each benefit you want to promote to candidates.

Provide great healthcare​? Share it!

Have a ping pong table? Tell the world!

Offer flexible work hours? Let them know!

Just enter a title for your perk, choose an icon, and click +Add to Perks.

Up to 6 perks are shown at a time. If you add more, we'll randomize the 6 that are displayed each time the page loads.

The Perks section is not shown if you choose the Simple layout.

Do your employees have great things to say about working with you? Spread the word! 📣

Just upload a photo, enter an employee’s name, title, and quote, and click +Add to Testimonials.

Three testimonials are shown at a time. If you add more, we'll randomize the 3 that are displayed each time the page loads.

The Testimonials section is not shown if you choose the Simple layout.

You can add an Employees section to your careers site, to show candidates who’s already a part of your team.

Just upload a photo, enter an employee’s name and title and click +Add to Employees. You can also customize the section header and subheader.

The Employees section is not shown if you choose the Simple layout.

Videos and photo galleries are ideal for showing off your team and giving candidates a behind-the-scenes look at​ what it's like to work with your company.

Just add a link to your Vimeo or YouTube video, and upload photos for your gallery. The gallery layout changes based on the number of photos that you upload. You'll need to add at least 3 — the ideal number is 8.

Psst: The best shots show actual employees while they're in the office.

You can choose whether to display videos on the main page of open positions, on position detail pages, or both.

The Photos & Videos section is not shown if you choose the Simple layout.

You can customize the overall layout of your careers site, to feature what’s most important to you. Just drag and drop the content sections to rearrange and organize the page, or click to hide sections you don’t need.

You can also decide how to display the list of openings, and whether to group jobs by location or department, based on the details in each position’s settings.

The Content Layout section is not shown if you choose the Simple layout.

The default portal settings do a pretty good job of showcasing your openings when you share them via social media. But if you want to make them your own, you can customize the text and images that are used when you share Breezy links online.

The Social Sharing section is not shown if you choose the Simple layout.

Need a little bit more personalization? Or maybe a third-party analytics tracking code?

No problem.

You can add custom CSS and JavaScript to your career portal.

The Custom CSS/JS section is not shown if you choose the Simple layout.
