Two switches control whether the public sees a job: your careers page has to be on, and the job itself has to be published. Both are off by default. Turn the page on once in Settings → Organization, then publish jobs one at a time as you open them.

The careers page is off until you turn it on

A brand-new org has no public careers page. Open Settings → Organization and find Career Page Settings. Under Page Status, switch it from Hidden to Published.

While the page is Hidden, the URL returns a 404 — for the careers page and for every job link under it, even jobs you've published. Publishing a job does nothing for the public until the page itself is on.

You only do this once. After that, the page stays on and the per-job switch is all that matters.

Publish a single job

Every new job starts unpublished — visible to your team, invisible to the public.

Open the job and find the Published toggle.
Switch it on.
The job appears on your careers page, its own URL starts resolving, and candidates can apply.

A published job is reachable two ways: from the careers page job list, where candidates filter by department, location, and remote policy, and by its direct link. See embedding jobs elsewhere for sharing that link.

Unpublish a job — don't delete it

When you're done hiring for a role, switch Published back off. The job leaves the careers page and stops accepting new applications.

Unpublishing does not remove the people who already applied. They stay in the job's candidate list and in your reporting. You can republish the same job later and pick up where you left off.

Your URL slug

Your careers page lives at hire.chosenhq.com/careers/<your-org-slug>. The slug is set under Settings → Organization → Career Page Settings, in the Career Page Slug field — lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only.

Change it before you've shared the link widely. When you change the slug, every old /careers/<old-slug> link stops working — job descriptions, social posts, email signatures, all of it. Pick one early and leave it alone.

How Chosen tracks where applicants came from

Every applicant gets a Source recorded automatically — direct, the careers page, a referral, a reply to sourcing outreach, and so on. Applications through the careers page are tagged as such.

Two things worth knowing:

UTM parameters are captured. Tag the links you post externally — job boards, your newsletter, a partner site — with UTM parameters and you'll be able to tell which channel sent which applicant.
Source is editable. If a candidate mentions your CTO referred them, correct the Source field on their candidate record. The automatic guess is a starting point, not the last word.

Limits

The publish toggle is all-or-nothing per job: a job is public or it isn't. There's no scheduled publish date and no per-job audience. To stage a launch, keep the job unpublished, share the direct link with a small group, then publish when you're ready for the careers page list to show it.
