How to Build Your Career Page in SmoothHiring
Your Careers Page is the public-facing hub where candidates discover your company and browse open positions. SmoothHiring gives every employer a fully hosted, branded careers site at a unique URL — no web development required.
Your Careers Page URL
Every SmoothHiring account receives a dedicated careers page at:
https://[your-company].smoothhiring.com/careers
The subdomain is derived from your company website domain. For example, if your website is www.acme.com, your careers page will be https://acme.smoothhiring.com/careers.
