  • Job title (Plain text)
  • Recruitment date
  • Job description
  • Location
  • Etc....

1.2 Pages to create

In order to create a career portal on Webflow, you will need to create at least 2 pages. One static page and one dynamic page that will be linked to the "Jobs" collection.

  1. The static page will be the "portal" page, aggregating all the job postings
  2. The "listing" page, which is a dynamic page (template), will transform the data of each new item created in a collection into a job listing with your chosen design!
