Display hiring manager and recruiter

Displaying the hiring manager and recruiter's information gives internal candidates the opportunity to reach out to discuss the position before applying.

Up to three hiring manager or recruiter names are displayed for each job. When this option is turned on, names are shown on both the job board and the job post.

Style and customization

To change your job board's colors, fonts, and buttons, select Style & customization from the left navigation panel.

Colors

You can choose custom colors for your buttons, fonts, and fields.

Choosing an Accent color theme populates the job board's accent colors automatically.

You can also choose each color individually by selecting from the dropdown menu, entering a unique hex code, or by clicking the color tile to open a color wheel.

Tips for choosing colors

Brand alignment: If you’re working with an established brand, ensure that you’re using your organization’s color pallet with Alwane.

Contrast: Verify that your colors are visually distinct and that text will be legible with the Color Contrast Checker.

Inspiration: If you’re starting from scratch, get color pallet inspiration in Color Hunt and review an extensive list of colors and hex codes in Colorhexa.

Fonts

Fonts on the job board are grouped by primary and secondary font:

Primary font applies to your job board title and headings.
Secondary font applies to all other text on the board, including job name and location.

In the example below, the primary font is surrounded by an orange box. All other text is the secondary font.
