Activating this feature allows you to create localized versions of your career site in multiple languages, helping you connect with candidates across different markets and engage with them in their preferred language.
✨ A Company Admin user needs to activate this feature in the Add-on feature center to get started
Add a new language
Once this feature is enabled, head over to your Settings → Content → Career sites, where you can add the language you want to work with. Do so by clicking the pink + button in the upper right-hand corner.
Career site language
You can now select the language for your career site and choose an emoji to represent this version. This emoji will be displayed internally across every page and block in the content editor, helping you easily identify which version you're working on.
Clone career site
You also have the option to clone an existing career site, which will copy all its blocks. If you don’t select one, your new career site will start as a blank slate.
Please note that only the text automatically generated by us will be translated. Any manually added content will need to be translated by you. You can still remove or edit blocks from the cloned site as needed. The cloning option is only available when creating a new career site. After the site is created, each career site’s content is managed independently.
Example of creating a Norwegian language version, along with the Norwegian flag emoji. The new career site will be created as a clone of the existing English site.
After you click the Save button, you will see it listed under your language settings. The next step is to review and edit the content of this page.
Content
To edit the pages for your new language, click the three dots and Open in Content, which sends you to the content editor of this specific page.
You will also be able to access all the different language editors by clicking on the Content tab in your main navigation, like so:
The logo and branding will be the same throughout all language versions.
Add translations
Go to Settings to add translations to different sections. You'll see a language tab at the top where you can switch between your languages and view or enter information.
You can add translations to your:
Departments
Locations
Messages (under Templates)
Questions
Custom fields
Interview kits
Collecting permissions
You can also see an overview of which sections need a translation, like here for Questions. To make the experience as smooth as possible, make sure to add the translations to all of them. Otherwise, the default language version will be used.
Employee profiles
What would a company be without its employees? Any profile can be edited by a Company Admin user via the Employee tab or by the users themselves (except for No-Access users).
The user's email signature can be translated under their profile Settings. And when you click on Edit profile, you can add versions to the person's bio. If a department or location is assigned to the user, Teamtailor will automatically retrieve the translation from the main Settings and incorporate it into the career site.
The translations are primarily for candidates and career site visitors. They're not always available to the users. For example, when selecting a department for a job or a message template for an email, the title will still only show in the default language to the user, no matter what language the user picked in their profile.
Jobs
Now let's look at the jobs. The Job ad language field in the job editor will determine where the job ad is published. For example, if you select English from the drop-down menu, the job ad will be published on the English version of your career site. This field will be mandatory for all your jobs as soon as an additional career site has been created. Note that you can only select one job ad language per job.
Once selected, you will notice that when looking at the question options to choose from, they will appear in the default language at first. But once the question has been selected, it converts to the language specified for the job in the job editor.
If you wish to show all jobs on a career site, regardless of the language of the job, you can easily enable this feature. Navigate back to Content and access the specific career site where you want to display all jobs in any language.
Open the Jobs page, then go to the Jobs block. You will now find the option to Include all languages. Don't forget to save your changes and, lastly, publish the update to make it live.
Candidates
When a person applies, the job's language will be displayed in the job application on the candidate card. The candidate will receive automatic emails in the job's language, and Teamtailor will use the translations you have added in Settings. As for additional features, such as NPS surveys or Meeting invitations, Teamtailor automatically translates any auto-generated content that is sent to the candidate.
The users will see everything in the default language, however. This includes interview kit questions and the questions the candidate answers. Only the text answers will be presented in the original language in which the candidate provided them.
Furthermore, you will also have a new filter option in the Candidates and Jobs tab now, which lets you filter for languages.
Select your most-used filters and add them as a segment to be able to get a quick overview next time you're searching for candidates
Activate a language
Once you're done with everything and happy with the result, it's time to go live with this site. Go to your Settings → Content → Career sites. Click the three dots and toggle active on!
The URL will automatically be your current domain, with a two-letter language code following it. For example, careers.example.com/no for a Norwegian site. In addition, your career site will also automatically link to the other sites in the footer at the bottom of your career site.
You can also choose to have this as a button on the top part of your Career site:
To activate this, go to Content > Home > Header of the page that you want to change. Here in the Header, click Adjustments and add the button:
