Managing and Creating Templates

Templates allow you to save time in the job posting process by having saved job descriptions on your account. The templates can only be created by users with manager level permission.  If you do not have manager level access, contact a person with manager level permission from your company to create the template for you or ask them for approval to get manager level access added to your login.  If you receive approval, they can update your access under the Account Tools section on the account or contact your dedicated Client Support Specialist for assistance.
