What a favicon is and when to use it?
A favicon is the small icon that represents your website and appears in the browser address bar. It helps visitors recognize your brand, makes your site easier to find among open tabs, and makes your site look more trustworthy in tabs and search results.
Use a favicon when:
You want your website or careers page to be easy to recognize in the browser address bar and tabs.
You want visitors to recognize your brand at a glance.
You want your careers page to look more polished and trustworthy.
You want to replace or remove the favicon you added earlier.
How to upload a favicon
All Recruit Craft users can upload and manage a favicon directly from the Settings section. Each Recruit Craft project can have its own favicon.
Click the three-dot menu on the project in the Projects Dashboard and select Settings, and click on Favicon.
2. Upload your favicon file by clicking on the Upload Favicon button.
Supported formats and size
When uploading a favicon, make sure it meets the following requirements:
Supported formats - ico, png, gif, or jpg
Recommended size - 32 x 32 pixels
Maximum file size allowed - 30 KB
Using the correct size and format ensures the favicon displays properly across browsers.
4. Once uploaded, you can also preview how the favicon will appear in the browser address bar. This helps you confirm that the icon looks clear and aligns with your brand.
You can update or replace your favicon at any time by repeating these steps. Once updated, the new favicon will automatically reflect on your website and in the browser address bar.

If you no longer want to use a favicon, you can remove it easily from the settings.
