Hosted job site & careers page
A careers page that feeds your hiring pipeline — included.
Yardstick gives every account a hosted, branded careers page. Publish a role, and it appears on your careers page; candidates apply there and land straight in your structured interview pipeline. No separate job board, no web-dev project.
What it is
Your own careers page, hosted for you — and wired to your pipeline.
A hosted careers page is a public, branded page that lists your open roles and collects applications for you. “Hosted” means Yardstick runs the page — you don't stand up a site, wire a form, or maintain it; you publish a role and it's live. The part that matters most is what sits behind it: every application flows into your structured interview pipeline, not an inbox or a spreadsheet.
That makes it different from two things people often confuse it with:
A paid job board
The large listings marketplaces are somewhere you pay to post a role so it appears alongside everyone else’s. Useful for reach — but it’s a listing, not your hiring system, and the applications still have to land somewhere. A hosted careers page is your page, and the applications land in your pipeline.
A marketing-site careers widget
A styled list of jobs bolted onto your homepage, usually with no pipeline behind it — applications arrive as email. A hosted careers page is the front door to the actual hiring workflow.
You can use a careers page alongside job boards; they're not mutually exclusive. The difference is that the careers page is where candidates become structured applicants in your system.
How it works
Publish a role. Candidates apply. Applications land in your pipeline.
- 1A role gets publishedYou — or your coding agent — draft the job description. If you work through an agent, it drafts the description by running the yardstick CLI; you approve before the job is published. Publishing a job is one of the actions Yardstick always asks a person to sign off on.
- 2The role appears on your careers pageOnce published, it’s live on your hosted careers page for candidates to find and share.
- 3Candidates apply thereApplications come in through the page — no separate intake form to build or maintain.
- 4Applicants land in your structured pipelineEach applicant enters the same structured interview workflow your team runs: job-specific interview plans, consistent questions, required scorecards, and AI decision briefs drafted from the evidence — always under human review.
Yardstick is the system of record behind the page. You don't chat with Yardstick; you (or your agent) operate it — the agent prepares work like a drafted job description, and a person approves the moments that matter, like publishing the role. (More on the agent-operable model.)
Where the human approves
An agent can draft a job description for you, but publishing the job, emailing a candidate, and advancing or rejecting a candidate all wait for a person's approval. The agent prepares; you decide.
Inbound + outbound
Two ways candidates reach your pipeline — one place they land.
Hiring has two top-of-funnel motions, and Yardstick covers both:
Inbound — candidates come to you
Your hosted careers page is the inbound front door: people find your roles, apply, and enter your pipeline.
Outbound — you reach out to them
Yardstick’s talent CRM lets you build a pipeline of prospects, organize them into pools, and prepare structured outreach sequences — relationship-building you stay in control of, never autonomous spraying.
Whichever way a candidate arrives, they land in the same structured interview process, so every applicant — inbound or outbound — is evaluated against the same plan and the same scorecards. (Building prospect pipelines, pools, and sequences is available on every account; automated email sending inside a sequence is an Enterprise capability.)
Why it matters
A real careers page without a separate bill — or a web project.
For a small team opening its first roles, a careers page is one of those things you're told you need but don't want to build. A hosted one removes the project entirely: it's included on every Yardstick account, and because Yardstick is pay-as-you-go — you pay for active hiring, not seats, headcount, or an annual contract — there's no extra subscription to carry for it.
Founders and hiring managers opening their first roles
You need a credible place to point candidates, and you need applications to land somewhere structured, not in your inbox.
Recruiting and hiring-ops leaders
You want intake to live inside the ATS workflow, so every applicant is captured against a job-specific interview plan from the first touch.
If you're weighing the broader system, the best ATS for startups page lays out where Yardstick fits, how it works walks the structured workflow your applications feed, and the ATS for humans and agents and agent-operable ATS pages cover how a coding agent prepares hiring work under your approval. When you want to see it on your own roles, book a call.
FAQ
Common questions about hosted careers pages.
What is a hosted job site / careers page?
A hosted job site (or careers page) is a public, branded page that lists your open roles and collects applications directly. “Hosted” means the provider runs the page for you — you publish a role and it’s live, with no site to build or maintain. In Yardstick, applications from the careers page flow straight into your structured interview pipeline.
Does Yardstick include a careers page?
Yes. A hosted careers page is included on every Yardstick account. Publish a role and it appears on your page; candidates apply there and enter your structured interview workflow.
Do applications go straight into the ATS / interview pipeline?
Yes. Candidates who apply through your careers page land directly in your structured pipeline — job-specific interview plans, consistent questions, required scorecards, and AI decision briefs under human review — instead of arriving as email or a spreadsheet row.
Can my coding agent post jobs to the careers page?
Your agent can draft the job description by running the yardstick CLI, but publishing the job waits for your approval. The agent prepares the work; a person approves before the role goes live on your careers page.
How is a hosted careers page different from a job board like LinkedIn or Indeed?
A job board is a listings marketplace you post to for reach; the applications still need somewhere to land. A hosted careers page is your own branded page, and applications flow into your hiring pipeline. They work together — the careers page is where candidates become structured applicants in your system.
How does the careers page work with the talent CRM?
The careers page is the inbound side — candidates come to you and apply. The talent CRM is the outbound side — you build prospect pipelines and pools and prepare structured outreach. Both feed the same structured interview pipeline, so every candidate is evaluated the same way.
