Select a Job for Preview – Dynamic Job Data in the Editor

Modified on Wed, 28 Oct at 9:59 AM

    In talentsconnect Home you can select in the editor which job should be displayed for preview. This lets you see at any time how your job detail page looks with real job data – both for jobs from the ATS and for manually created positions.

    Select a Job for Preview

    At the bottom of the editor you will find the button "Select job for preview".
    From there you can select a specific position:

    • Jobs from your applicant tracking system (ATS)
    • Manually created jobs in the JobShop

    After selecting, the job is loaded directly in the editor as a preview.

    Dynamic Content in the Editor

    Once a job is selected, all modules linked to job data are automatically populated with the corresponding content. The editor dynamically adapts to the selected position.

    This applies to the following modules, among others:

    • Hero module (e.g. job title, location, working hours)
    • Job text field modules (e.g. tasks, profile, offer, introduction)
    • Contact person module

    The content is automatically taken from the job data and displayed directly in the modules.

    Important Note on Editable Content

    The job data displayed in these modules is not editable in the editor.

    • Changes to this content must be made exclusively in the ATS or the respective job data source
    • The editor is used here for design and preview purposes, not for maintaining job content

    This ensures your job detail page always stays consistent with the centrally maintained job data.


    Special Feature: The "Job Text Field" Module

    The job text field module dynamically displays text content from your applicant tracking system.

    Selecting a Data Field in the Sidebar

    In the sidebar on the right you can define which job text field should be displayed in the respective module. The available fields are based on your JobShop setup and the connection to the ATS.

    Typical Use Cases

    In most cases, the job text field module is used for the following content:

    • Introduction
    • Tasks
    • Profile / Requirements
    • Offer / Benefits

    Why Can a Job Text Field Be Empty?

    A job text field may appear empty if:

    • no data has been transferred from the ATS for this field
    • or the field has not yet been configured in the mapping

    Data transfer is handled via an individually configured mapping between your applicant tracking system and the job text fields available in the JobShop.

    Example:
    It is possible that all job texts delivered from the ATS via the interface have been mapped to a single selectable job text field in the JobShop.

    Identification of Data-Driven Modules

    Modules and fields that are directly linked to job data are visually marked in the editor.
    On these modules you will find a small icon that signals that the displayed content:

    • is automatically loaded from the job (ATS or manual)
    • cannot be edited directly in the editor

    This lets you see at a glance which modules are data-driven and serve exclusively as a preview.

    Tip: Using the Job Preview

    Use the job preview mode to check:

    • which job text fields already contain content
    • which content is successfully transferred from the ATS
    • and whether the current mapping meets your expectations
