With the Website Builder, you can create:
• A Full Website with multiple pages, such as Home, About Us, FAQs, Testimonials, and custom pages

•Career pages for publishing jobs and job application/candidate portal in a unified website experience.

The builder includes a visual editor with drag-and-drop sections and elements, responsive previews, SEO settings, and publishing tools.

This feature is especially useful when you:

• Want to create a fully branded recruitment website without coding
• Want your Jobs page and Candidate Portal under one website experience
• Need drag-and-drop editing for website pages
• Want to manage pages, layouts, and branding from one place
• Need responsive previews before publishing
• Want to customize SEO settings for website pages


📂 Access the Projects Dashboard


The Projects Dashboard is the first page you land on after logging in to Recruit Craft. From here, you can view and manage all your Recruit Craft projects, including both live published websites and unpublished projects currently being worked on.

From the dashboard, you can:

• View projects
• Create projects
• Edit projects
• Preview projects
• Rename projects
• Publish projects
• Delete projects
• Open live projects

Projects are marked as:

• Published
• Unpublished


➕ Create a New Project


Follow these steps to create a new project in Recruit Craft:

  1. Open the Projects Dashboard.

  2. Click + Create Project at the top-right corner of the dashboard.

  3. Choose one of the following project types based on the kind of website experience you want to create:


    📄 Build only Career Page Site

    Use this option if you only want to create a dedicated jobs page experience for candidates. The Career Page builder includes the refreshed Career Page design while continuing to support the existing functionality and settings already available in Recruit Craft.

    This option is best suited for teams that primarily want to:

    • Publish open jobs
    • Share a branded jobs page
    • Allow candidates to browse and apply for roles


    🌐 Build Full Website

    The Full Website builder allows you to create a fully branded recruitment website experience that goes beyond just jobs and candidate applications. You can build informational and branding-focused pages to showcase your company, services, culture, testimonials, FAQs, and more, while also allowing visitors to browse jobs, apply for roles, and access the Candidate Portal from one centralized platform.

    A Full Website can include multiple pages such as:

    • Home page
    • Jobs page
    • Job Application page
    • Candidate Portal
    • About Us page
    • Testimonials page
    • FAQ page
    • Custom pages


🎨 Choose a Template


After selecting the project type, the next step is to choose the template that will act as the starting point for your website or career page.

Recruit Craft provides ready-made templates to help you quickly build and customize your project without starting completely from scratch.


1. For Full Website Projects

If you selected Build Full Website, you can:

• Choose from the available website templates, or
• Start with a completely blank project

Website templates come with prebuilt layouts and sections that can help speed up the website creation process. These templates can then be fully customized using the drag-and-drop Website Builder editor.

Starting with a blank project allows you to build the website structure and design entirely from scratch.

2. For Career Page Projects

If you selected Build Career Page, you can choose from the available Career Page templates.

These templates are specifically designed for job listing and candidate application experiences while continuing to support the existing Career Page functionality and settings.

Once you select a template, the project will automatically open in the Website Builder editor, where you can begin customizing pages, sections, elements, layouts, branding, and content.


🖥️ Understand the Website Builder Editor


The Website Builder includes a visual editing interface with 4 main areas.


Left Sidebar

The left sidebar is used to add new content to your website, such as elements, sections, and pages. Simply drag and drop the required items from the sidebar onto the canvas to start building your website.

Central Canvas

The central canvas is the main workspace where you can view, build, and edit your website. Any elements, sections, or pages added from the left sidebar can be placed and arranged here.

Right Sidebar

The right sidebar provides customization and editing options for the item currently selected on the canvas. From here, you can modify design settings, content, styling, spacing, and other properties related to the selected element or section.

Top Toolbar

The top toolbar contains controls that help you manage and navigate your website design. From here, you can switch between pages, adjust the zoom level of the canvas, and access other page-level controls while editing. The top toolbar includes:

• Page selector

• Zoom controls
• Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile preview controls
• Preview
• Save
• Publish


📑 Add and Manage Pages


The Pages section allows you to manage all the pages within your website project.

From here, you can:


Add a New Page

To create a new page:

  1. Open the Pages section from the left sidebar.

  2. Click the Add New Page button.

  3. Enter the Page Name when prompted.

  4. Click Add.

The new page will automatically be created and added to the pages list, where you can begin customizing it using sections and elements.

Switch Between Pages

You can switch between website pages at any time while editing.

There are two ways to switch pages:

• Use the Page Selector from the top toolbar to quickly navigate between pages

The selected page will automatically open in the Website Builder editor.

Access and customize the Jobs Page

From the Pages section, you can also access the Jobs List Page, Job Description, and Job Application Form. The Jobs-related pages are managed slightly differently from standard website pages.

📌 Please note: The Jobs List Page, Job Description Page, and Job Application Form continue to use the dedicated Career Page editor experience. You can customize and manage these pages using the available Career Page settings, while the rest of your website pages can be built and customized using the drag-and-drop Website Builder.

🛠️ Create and customize your website


Follow these steps to build and customize your website using Recruit Craft:

Step 1: Choose what you want to work on

Start by deciding whether you want to add new content to your website or edit existing content.

To add new content, use the left sidebar and select the type of item you want to add:

• Section – Add a new website section, such as a hero banner, testimonials section, or contact form.

• Element – Add individual components such as text, buttons, images, social icons, lines, forms, videos, and more.

• Page – Create additional pages for your website.

Step 2: Add content to the canvas

Once you have selected the section or element you want to use, drag and drop it from the left sidebar onto the central canvas.

Place the item in the desired location on your website layout. The canvas provides a real-time view of your website, allowing you to see exactly where the content will appear.

Step 3: Edit existing content

If you do not want to add new content, you can simply select an existing section or element directly from the canvas.

Clicking on an existing item will automatically make it active for editing and display the available customization options in the right sidebar.

Step 4: Customize your content

After selecting or adding an item, use the right sidebar to customize its settings.

The available options will vary depending on the item selected but may include:

• Content editing

• Design and styling options

• Layout and spacing controls

• Colors and typography settings

• Button and image configurations

• Visibility and display settings

Any changes made in the right sidebar are reflected on the canvas, allowing you to preview your edits as you work.

Step 5: Review your website

As you build your website, review the layout and content on the central canvas to ensure everything appears as intended.

You can continue adding, removing, repositioning, or editing sections and elements until you achieve the desired design.

Step 6: Save and preview your changes

Once you have completed your edits, click Save to preserve your changes.

You can then use the Preview option to review how the website will appear to visitors before publishing or sharing it.

Yes. You can configure playback settings such as:

  • Show or hide controls

  • Poster (thumbnail) image

When Autoplay is enabled, Mute is automatically enabled because most browsers require autoplay videos to be muted.
