Once the job is published, its record gathers everything you need to spread it. Open it from **Team → Recruitment → Job offers**.

## The public link

The **Download** block offers **Link to the job ad**: one click copies the address to your clipboard. Paste it into a message, an email, a post on your networks or your signature.

The **View the job** button, at the top of the record, opens that same page as a candidate sees it.

## The QR code

The **QR code** block shows the code for the job. Scanned, it opens the application form directly.

- The QR is **active** as soon as the job is published. On a job that is not published, it shows "Inactive, publish the job to activate".
- The icons next to the code let you **copy the link** or **open it in a new tab**.

## The two PDFs to print

Still in the **Download** block:

- **PDF poster**: your logo, the QR code, the link and the words "Scan to apply". To print and stick in the window, on a table stand or a flyer.
- **Full job ad PDF**: the complete description of the role, with the QR code and the link. For a job fair, a school or an agency.

Both open in your browser's print window, from where you can print or save as a PDF.

## Know where your candidates come from

Every application carries its **source**: Careers page, QR code, Referral, Spontaneous, Social media, Talent pool, Job board or Other.

You find it in the **Source** column of the **Candidates** list, where it also works as a filter. This is what tells you whether your poster in the window is really working, or whether everything comes from your careers page.

## Who is told about a new application

The **Job owners**, defined at creation and editable from the job record, receive new applications, trials and confirmed interviews by email. With no owner designated, nobody is notified: remember to pick at least one.
