We’re implementing a phased deprecation plan to move legacy job boards to redesigned modern and customizable job boards. This plan will ensure a smooth migration and provide ample time for adjustments. The final deprecation date will be in April 2025 and we’ll send email reminders at major milestones.
Overview
Migrating to the new job boards provides an easier and more efficient way to customize your job boards, helps you meet a higher level of accessibility compliance and allows you to take advantage of new features.
In addition to style customizations, you’ll have access to a host of new features and capabilities including searchable job boards, scheduled job post status changes, Greenhouse Verified (closed beta), candidate job alerts (closed beta), mobile responsiveness and WCAG 2.0AA accessibility compliance.
Deprecation plan
| Date | Plan |
|
February 2024 Internal job board launch |
All internal job boards were transitioned to the redesigned interface. At this stage, internal job boards can no longer be reverted to legacy designs. |
|
July 2024 External job board launch |
Unstyled external boards were automatically transitioned to the new design with an option to revert to the legacy interface. Styled boards can also be transitioned to the new design if desired. |
|
September 2024 Maintenance mode for legacy boards |
Legacy boards entered maintenance mode. From this point forward, only critical bugs will be addressed for legacy boards, and all new features will be exclusive to the redesigned boards. |
|
Mid-November 2024 Removal of legacy fallback option |
Redesigned boards can no longer be reverted to legacy boards unless coordinated through Greenhouse support. The goal is to promote full adoption of the new interface. |
| January 2025 Deprecation warnings for legacy boards | Legacy boards will display in-app deprecation warnings to inform users of the April 1st, 2025 deadline for the final transition. |
|
April 2025 Legacy board deprecation |
At this stage, any remaining legacy boards will automatically be transitioned to the redesigned interface. The option to revert to the legacy design will no longer be available. |
This phased plan provides time to prepare for the transition while we further enhance the functionality and performance of the redesigned job boards. Please plan accordingly to ensure a smooth experience for your organization.
Migrating your legacy board
Before you get started migrating your job board, you'll want to have:
- Brand fonts: primary and secondary
- Brand colors
- Branded banner image
- Logo + company web address
Note: Depending on your role and organization, you may need to ask other teams for these resources: Marketing, Brand, Design etc.
Once you've collected any necessary resources, simply follow the steps to easily customize your new job board.
Step 1: Turn on new job boards for the board you'd like to migrate
Go to Configure > Job Boards and Posts, then select the board you'd like to migrate. Select the name of the board you'd like to customize, then Board settings. Finally, toggle the New job board switch to "On".
Step 2: Style and customize your board
Select Board settings, then add your image, logo, board layout and filters to your job board.
Select Style and Customize, then add your brand colors, fonts, and button styles to your board.
After you've added your customization, you can see how your board will appear to job seekers. In Style and Customize or Board settings, select Preview at the bottom of the page.
Note: Repeat these steps for every job board you migrate.
