Set up Job Ad & Publish Job

In this step, you'll review the job ad that Architect has drafted for your role. Edit the ad to match your tone and requirements, then choose how and where to publish - on an Alva-hosted career page, your own website, or via your ATS.

The job ad

When you reach this step, you'll already be presented with a job ad written by Architect based on your role description and criteria. The ad includes a title and full text, covering sections like "About us", "About the role", "What you'll work on", "What we're looking for" and "Our hiring process".

You can edit the ad in two ways:

  • Edit directly: Click into the job ad text and make changes manually - just like editing a document. You can also update the job ad title.

  • Use the prompt field: Type instructions in the field above the job ad (e.g. "Translate to Swedish" or "Add a section about benefits"). Architect will update the ad based on your input when you click Regenerate

Publishing options

Once your job ad is ready, you have several options for making it visible to candidates.

Publish with Alva

Select Publish with Alva to publish your job on an Alva-powered career site. This option covers two setups:

  • Alva-hosted career page: A career page built and hosted by Alva. If you haven't set one up yet, a basic career page with a URL will be created automatically when you publish. You can then customise it with your company branding and information using the career page builder. See Build your Alva Career Site for how to set up and edit your career page.

  • Job list widget: A widget embedded on your own career site that displays your Alva jobs. Setup depends on the platform your site is hosted on - see the relevant guide for your website provider in our Hiring System collection.

Both options use the same Publish with Alva button. You can also optionally configure:

  • Salary: Add an amount or range, which will be shown on the job ad

  • Contact person: Select a contact person for the role, shown on the job ad

Alva Marketplace

In addition to publishing with Alva, you can also list your job on the Alva Marketplace - a platform where thousands of candidates who have already completed assessments on Alva can discover your role.

When enabling Marketplace, you'll need to fill in a few required fields:

  • Remote status: On-site, remote, or hybrid

  • Location: The city or cities where the role is based

  • Languages: The language(s) required for the role

  • Leadership position: Tick this if the role is a leadership position - suggested candidates will be filtered accordingly

All required fields must be completed before you can publish to the Marketplace. For more information, visit How Does Alva Marketplace Work?

Copy to your ATS

If you manage your job ads through an external applicant tracking system, click Copy job ad description to copy the full job ad text. You can then paste it into your ATS to publish it there.

ATS integrations

If your organisation uses Greenhouse, Jobylon, or Teamtailor, the publishing flow may look different. Visit the dedicated article for your ATS for step-by-step instructions on how publishing works with your integration:

Final review

Once you're happy with your job ad and publishing settings, click Next step to reach the final review. Here you'll see a summary of your complete job setup. You have two options:

  • Finish: Finalises your job and publishes it if you selected a publishing option in the previous step.

  • Save and close: Saves your progress without publishing, so you can come back and finish later.
