(4.) Rule-Based Template Assignment for Job Detail Pages

Modified on Thu, 9 Jul at 10:30 AM

With rule-based template assignment, you can define conditions for each of your job page templates. Based on these conditions, your jobs imported from the ATS are automatically assigned to the matching template.

ℹ Info: The conditions are based on the attribute values of your jobs – typically the same attributes and values that are also used for the job filter and search page. Example: A template can be configured to apply to all jobs with the location "Berlin" and the industry "Finance".

IMPORTANT: These features are only relevant for you if you import your jobs from an ATS / applicant tracking system. If you create and manage your jobs manually in talentsconnect Home, you do NOT need rule-based assignment – the manual template assignment functions in the job list are sufficient for your needs (see also).

The Page Manager: Job Detail Pages

In the Job Detail Pages overview, you can see all of your templates. For each job page template, you can directly see how many jobs are assigned to it and which rules apply.

Via the "..." menu of a job page template, you can edit the assignment rules and view more detailed information about them.

ℹ Info: Jobs that do not match any of the defined conditions are automatically assigned to the default template.

Defining Conditions for a Template

Open the Page Manager for Job Detail Pages.

Click on the "..." menu of the desired template and select "Edit assignment rules".

Define one or more conditions based on job attributes. A specific job title (as text) can also be used as a condition.

Save your changes.

⚠ Note: After saving, it may take a few minutes for the "Assigned Jobs" overview to be updated.

Check the "Assigned Jobs" section to see which jobs are now assigned to this job page template. There you can see which jobs you have assigned manually and which were assigned automatically through the rule-based assignment of the job page template.

How Multiple Conditions Work Together

Case	Logic	Example
Different attributes	AND logic	Location "Berlin" AND company "Olsen & Breuner GmbH" – the template only applies when both conditions are met.
Multiple values of the same attribute	OR logic	Location "Berlin" or "Stuttgart" or "Düsseldorf" – the template applies to jobs in all three cities.

Both principles can be combined, for example: Title "Field Sales Representative" AND Location "Berlin" or "Stuttgart" or "Düsseldorf" – applies to field sales jobs in all three cities.

Conflict Resolution: Which Template Wins?

If a job matches the conditions of multiple templates, two rules determine in the following order which template is applied:

1. The more specific template wins

Specificity is determined by the number of attributes used as conditions. A template with two attribute conditions is more specific than one with only one.

✔ Example: A job in the Manufacturing industry, location Berlin.
Template A: Location "Berlin" or "Hamburg"
Template B: Industry "Manufacturing" AND Location "Berlin" or "Hamburg"
→ Template B wins, as it uses more attributes.

2. When specificity is equal, attribute priority decides

You maintain a prioritized list of your attributes (via drag & drop). If two templates are equally specific, the template whose highest-ranking attribute appears higher in the priority list wins.

✔ Example: A job at company "Olsen-Breuner", industry Manufacturing, location Berlin.
Template A: Company "Olsen-Breuner" AND Location "Berlin"
Template B: Industry "Manufacturing" AND Location "Berlin"
Both templates use two attributes – equal specificity. If "Company" ranks higher than "Industry" in the priority list, Template A wins.

You can access the priority list via the button in the top right of the page overview ("Priority settings for assignment").

This is what the priority settings look like – change the order by drag and drop to prioritize the most important ones at the top:

Manual Assignment

You can manually assign an individual job to a template at any time. This manual assignment overrides the automatic rules. Simply switch to the job list and select the desired template for the relevant job using the dropdown menu.
