Create Careers Page For Websites built on Shopify
Steps to create a careers page
1Log in to your SubPage account and enter the main domain of your Shopify website (e.g., mywebsite.com).
2After adding the domain, the Create Page dialog will appear. Scroll down and select "Careers" from the list.
4Enter a vanity URL for the subpage.app domain (this is optional and doesn't affect functionality).
5Once the career page is published, click "Start Hiring."
6The career page editor will open, allowing you to add job listings, company details, and more.
7With the AI-assisted editor, quickly add job openings, benefits, and company details to streamline the process.
Steps to Publish Careers Page to Shopify
1After adding all the required content to your career page, navigate to the career page editor's main dashboard and click on the "Connect Domain" button.
2First, unpublish the default "SubPage domain" hosting in the Connect Domain sidebar. Then, from the dropdown menu, select "Custom Domain".
3A suitable subdomain name, such as "careers" or "jobs," should be entered, followed by clicking "Save and Publish." For this subdomain to be verified by your Shopify domain host, the CNAME record provided in the sidebar will need to be added to your domain host’s DNS settings.
4If your site is hosted with Shopify's default custom domain, log in to your Shopify account at shopify.com using your credentials. To add CNAME follow this instruction in this article.
5If your custom domain is hosted with another provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, IONOS), consult their knowledge base for relevant instructions on how to add custom CNAME records for a subdomain.
6Once the CNAME record has been added, allow up to 24 hours for the DNS changes to fully propagate.
7After propagation is complete, the Connect Domain sidebar in SubPage.app should be accessed again, and "Save and Publish" clicked.
8If verification is successful, the career page will be accessible at the subdomain URL (e.g., mywebsite.careers.com), displaying all content as configured.
Why shouldn’t you consider Shopify for your Careers Page portal?
👎 Shopify lacks a built-in applicant tracking system (ATS), requiring the integration of third-party apps or services, which adds complexity and additional costs.
👎 The free plan offers a selection of themes with limited customization options, although custom themes can be built from scratch.
👎 Creating job listings and a career page requires installing apps from the Shopify App Store.
👎 Shopify does not provide email hosting directly; it must be done through a third-party application.
👎 Shopify themes are primarily designed for eCommerce, making it more challenging to find or design a career-focused theme compared to platforms specifically built for business or job listings.
