Careers Section (Home Page) — Implementation Plan

1. Goals & Scope

Attract candidates and showcase company culture directly from the home page
Careers lives as a section on the home page, not a standalone /careers page
Section should link out to a full job detail view or an ATS for the actual application step
Decide: in-house application handling vs. linking out to an ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, etc.)

Section heading/hero — tagline + short pitch on why to work here
Culture/values snippet — a few photos or highlights, benefits teaser (health, remote work, PTO, equity, etc.)
Open positions preview — short list (e.g., top 3–5) with title, department, location, type
"View all openings" CTA — links to full listing (could be a modal, an anchor-expanded list, or an external ATS board)
Application CTA — "Apply Now" per role, linking to a form, email, or ATS
Optional extras — employee testimonials, office photos/video, perks grid

Fields per job posting:

title
department
location
employment_type
description
requirements
salary_range (optional)
posted_date
status (open/closed)
apply_link

Store in a CMS (Sanity, Contentful, Strapi) or a simple JSON/database table if no CMS exists.

Static list — hardcode JSON if roles change rarely
CMS-driven — non-technical team can add/remove postings without code
ATS integration — pull live listings via API (Greenhouse/Lever both offer public job board APIs) for least maintenance
Application handling — form → email service (e.g., SendGrid) or direct link to ATS application page

/ (home page) — Careers section embedded, e.g. #careers anchor for nav linking
/careers/[job-slug] — individual job detail page (linked from the home section)
/careers/apply/[job-slug] — application form (optional)
Consider adding "Careers" to the main nav, scrolling/linking to the #careers section

Keep the section concise — it's part of the home page, not the main focus, so limit to a handful of featured/open roles
Mobile-responsive job cards, and ensure the section doesn't overload home page load time
Clear, prominent "View openings" / "Apply" CTAs
SEO: JobPosting schema.org structured data on the linked job detail pages so roles surface in Google Jobs search
Make sure the section is reachable via nav (e.g., "Careers" nav item scrolls to the section or links to /#careers)

Design mockups/wireframe for the home page section (placement, hero, mini job list)
Set up data source (CMS or ATS API) for job postings
Build the home page Careers section + "view all/apply" links
Build job detail page(s) linked from the section
Wire up application flow
Add SEO schema markup on job detail pages
Test on mobile; submit a test application
Launch and monitor applications
