Every Field on the Job Posting Form, Step by Step

Short answer: Steps 1 and 2 carry the most fields and cause almost all the confusion. Step 1 has eleven mandatory fields; step 2 has four things people routinely miss. This is the reference for both.

📋 Fields marked with a red asterisk are mandatory. The form will not advance until every one on the current step is filled.

Step 1: Job Description

Hiring for

Choose Own Company or Client Company. Pick Client Company if you are a consultancy hiring on someone else's behalf — it changes whose details appear on the listing.

Company block

Field	Notes
Company Name	Required
Website	Required
Founded	Required — year picker
Industry	Required — from a list
Company Description	Required — rich text, up to 2,000 characters, with bold, italic, underline and lists
Company Logo	Required — max 500 KB, which is stricter than the 2 MB verification limit
Company Size	Required — from a list

The job itself

• Job Title / Designation — required
• Job Location — required, as City, State
• Job Type — required: Full-time, Part-time, Apprenticeship or Contract
• Campus Recruitment — required: Yes or No
• Job Visibility — required: Public or Private

Add to Job Fair (optional)

Shows the role in an active job fair so it reaches candidates attending. If none are running you will simply see "No active job fairs available at the moment."

Step 2: Job Requirements

The four that block you

These produce the validation messages people hit most often:

Message	What it wants
At least one qualification is required	Tick at least one of ITI, Diploma, Graduate, Post Graduate
At least one skill is required	Type a skill and press the Add button — typing alone does not register it
English level is required	Choose from the dropdown
Job expiry date is required	Set the date the listing should close

💡 The skills and responsibilities boxes both need their Add button pressed. Text sitting in the input is not saved.

Eligibility filters

• Experience Required — Any, Fresher or Experienced
• Responsibilities — added one line at a time
• Gender Preference — optional
• Age Range — optional; maximum age cannot exceed 65
• Passing Year Range — optional, useful for targeting a graduating batch

Three settings that quietly decide who can apply

These are easy to skip past and have a large effect on your applicant volume:

Setting	Effect
Restricted-Distance Radius (km)	Only candidates within this many kilometres of your office can apply
Restricted Cities	Limits applications to named cities
Only allow candidates with verified mobile number to apply	Candidates are made to verify their number before they can submit

The verified-mobile setting is worth thinking about both ways. It raises the quality of the contact details you later pay to unlock, but it also turns away anyone who has not verified yet. If a role is getting far fewer applications than you expected, this is one of the first things to check.

Step 3: Salary and Benefits

Read the label on the range carefully: it is Monthly Take Home Amount, not annual. Entering an annual figure here is the single most common mistake on this step, and it publishes a role advertising several lakh a month.

Field	Notes
Salary Range	Required. Minimum must be at least ₹1,000 and the maximum must be greater than the minimum.
CTC (Lakh)	Optional. The annual cost to company, in lakhs — this is where the yearly number belongs.
Salary Type	Required: Fixed, Fixed+Incentive or Only Incentive
Vacancies	Required. How many people you are hiring for this role.
Bond Required?	Required: Yes or No. Answering Yes adds two more mandatory questions — the bond fee options, and when candidates have to pay.
Additional Benefits	Optional chips: Paid Leaves, Health Insurance, Laptop, 5 Day Working, Food Coupon, Travel Allowance and about a dozen more.

The benefits chips cost nothing and take ten seconds. For fresher roles especially, "5 Day Working" and "Health Insurance" are read closely.

Step 4: Communication Settings

Six mandatory choices, each a simple pick, plus two optional contact fields:

Field	Options
Recruiter Email	Optional, but marked visible to candidates
Recruiter Phone	Optional, also visible to candidates
Working Location	Work from Office, Work from Home or Field Job. Office and Field add a mandatory address field.
Interview Type	In-Person / Walk-In, or Telephonic / Online
Can candidates contact you after applying?	Yes, or "No, wait for our response"
Job Updates Preference	Weekly, Daily, Deadlines or All Updates
Conduct the interview on your company's website?	Yes or No. Answering Yes makes a company website link mandatory.
Do you need CV for each Application?	Yes or No

📞 The two contact fields are optional but they are shown to candidates. Leave them blank rather than filling them with a number nobody answers.

Job Updates Preference controls how often you are emailed about the role, not the candidates. On a high-volume posting, Daily quickly becomes noise; Weekly plus checking the dashboard is usually the better setting.

Steps 5 and 6

• 5 — Hiring Flow: pick the default pipeline or build your own. Covered in full in Hiring Flows: Default vs Custom.
• 6 — Payment: review and confirm. Posting a job is free on the default rate — the charges come later, when you unlock candidates or move them through the pipeline.
