7 Tips for using Flagship Jobs

Flagship Jobs help your team create consistent, high-quality job postings faster by providing trusted, best-in-class examples. Follow these best practices to get the most value from this feature.

1. Curate Thoughtfully: Quality Over Quantity

Flagship Jobs are most effective when they represent a small, carefully selected set of your team's best work. Avoid flagging too many jobs. Too many choices dilute the value and make it harder for recruiters to find the right examples quickly.

"Flagging everything just creates noise. Less is definitely more."

2. Focus on Evergreen and Common Roles

Use Flagship Jobs for roles you hire frequently or that set the tone for your hiring standards, such as Software Engineers or Sales roles. These provide reliable models your team can trust.

"Our Software Engineer Flagship jobs became the go-to starting point for nearly all new postings."

3. Keep Content Job-Specific and Up-to-Date

Ensure Flagship Jobs emphasize role-specific content such as responsibilities, skills, qualifications. Reserve templates to define company policies or benefits. Regularly review and refresh Flagship Jobs to keep them relevant.

If a Flagship job feels stale, recruiters lose trust and go hunting elsewhere.

4. Use Comments to Explain Why

Admins can add comments on Flagship Jobs to highlight why certain phrasing or structure was chosen. This helps educate your team on best practices and encourages consistency.

"Comments explaining the ‘why' behind a job post helped our recruiters understand tone and expectations better."

5. Quickly Organize Your View with Filters

Filtering is a best practice for creating a structured, focused view of your library. Quickly narrow down your content by applying filters like location, Datapeople score etc. Filters help surface what's relevant, and stay organized - so you can find exactly what you need faster to take action more efficiently.

6. Promote Adoption Through Training and Communication

Ensure recruiters and hiring managers know about the Flagship Library and how to use it. Demonstrate duplicating Flagship Jobs, applying the correct Template and customizing drafts to speed posting and reduce errors.

7. Avoid Using Flagship Jobs as a Substitute for Templates

Flagship Jobs are focused on job-specific details, while Templates handle company-wide content like benefits and culture. Keep these workflows separate to maintain clarity and ease of use.

Templates vs Flagship Jobs

Flagship Jobs are a powerful way to standardize and improve your job postings. Their effectiveness relies on thoughtful curation, clear communication, and ongoing management. Keep your Flagship Library focused, fresh, and well-communicated to empower your hiring teams and speed up the posting workflow.
