What is the General Application on my career page?

Every Homebase business has a General Application on its career page — a standing, always-open role that lets job seekers apply even when you haven't posted a specific job. This article explains what the General Application is, how it works, and how to use it to build your candidate pipeline.

What is the General Application?

The General Application is a permanent role that lives on your Homebase career page. It stays open at all times, so job seekers can express interest in working for your business even when you're not actively hiring. When you're ready to hire, you'll already have a pool of applicants to review.

Where does it appear?

The General Application appears on your Homebase career page only. It is not posted to job boards like Indeed or ZipRecruiter, so you won't receive unsolicited applicants from external listing sites. To get candidates, you can share your career page URL directly or embed it on your own website.

How do I get candidates from my General Application?

Because the General Application isn't posted to job boards, driving traffic to it is up to you. There are two ways to do that:

1. Copy your career page URL from your Homebase account and share it directly — through social media, a job fair, or word of mouth.
2. Embed your career page on your own business website so visitors can apply without leaving your site.

Can I turn off the General Application?

The General Application is always on and cannot be disabled. Since it only appears on your career page and is not distributed to job boards, it won't generate applicants unless someone visits your career page directly.
