Setting up your job portal

Every workspace gets a hosted, public Job Portal — a branded careers page listing your published vacancies and taking applications, with no separate website needed. Candidates can browse and apply without an account; applicants land in each job's Inbound queue for review.

Configure the portal

Go to Settings → Job Portal. The page is organised into three sections plus the headless API.

Section	What you set there
Portal	Portal enabled — the master switch. When disabled, the public portal returns "not found", which is useful while you brand it.
Branding	Theme, Brand color and logo, above a live preview of your portal.
When do applicants join your CRM?	Your workspace intake policy — see below.
URL, domain and advanced settings	Expand this to set the Portal URL slug (e.g. /portal/acme), a custom domain, a Logo URL if your logo is hosted elsewhere, and the Job description template the AI follows when writing adverts. See AI job descriptions.

Save with Save changes at the bottom of the page, then open your portal URL to check the result. The portal is mobile-first, so test it on a phone too.

Theme and preview

Choose a theme in Branding:

• Bento (default) — brand-forward: a deep header in your colour, rounded role cards and a filter rail.
• Ledger — editorial: warm paper, serif headlines and a ruled list, with your colour as an accent.
• Index — utilitarian: a white page with black rules, a numbered table and monospace details.

The preview below the theme buttons re-renders as you change settings, using your published roles or sample ones. Click the portal name or the headline inside the preview to edit them directly — that's where the portal's name and intro text are set. Use the expand icon to open the full-page preview of both the board and a job page.

For the logo, click Upload logo (or Replace logo) in the branding toolbar. If your logo is already hosted somewhere, paste its address into Logo URL under the advanced settings instead.

Your own domain

To serve the portal from your own domain, enter it under URL, domain and advanced settings, save, add the displayed CNAME record at your DNS provider, then click Verify DNS. Once verified, the preview address bar shows your domain instead of the Kepler URL.

When applicants join your CRM

Under When do applicants join your CRM?, choose whether clean applicants join the pipeline automatically or wait for recruiter review. Possible duplicates always wait for a link-or-create decision.

What candidates see

• The job list — your published portal postings, searchable and filterable by location.
• Job pages — the advertised description with an Apply form: name, email, phone, location, LinkedIn URL and an optional CV upload.
• A confirmation after applying.

Only fields meant for the public are exposed — internal data (fees, client names, internal notes, salary internals) never appears on the portal.

Anti-spam protections

The application form is protected by rate limiting, a hidden honeypot field that traps bots, and 24-hour deduplication of repeat applications from the same email to the same posting. CVs are restricted to PDF/DOC/DOCX up to 10 MB.
