How to Post a Job on CorrectNG

A step-by-step walkthrough of every field and option available when creating a job listing.

This guide covers every step and option involved in creating a job posting on CorrectNG. Fields marked Required must be completed before you can publish. Fields marked Optional can be left blank. Fields marked Onsite Only are only available when you choose to accept applications directly on CorrectNG.

Before You Start

Before you can post a job, two conditions must be met:

1
Your company profile must be 100% complete. If your profile is incomplete, the system will block you from publishing and prompt you to return to your profile page to fill in the missing details.
2
An active Premium subscription is required if you want to accept applications directly on CorrectNG. You can still post jobs with an external link or email application method on the free plan. Only the onsite application method (Accept Applications on CorrectNG) requires a Premium subscription.
Tip: Navigate to your employer dashboard and click Post a New Job from the sidebar to open the job creation form.

Job Title

Job Title Required

Enter the exact title of the position you are hiring for. This is the primary headline job seekers will see when browsing or searching for jobs.

Best practice: Use a clear, specific job title that matches what the candidate would search for. Avoid internal jargon or creative titles like “Rockstar Developer” — use “Software Developer” instead. Specific titles attract more relevant applicants.
2

Job Type

Job Type Required

Select the employment type for this position from the dropdown. Common options include Full-Time, Part-Time, Contract, Internship, and Freelance. This helps job seekers filter listings that match their availability and expectations.

3

Work Mode

Work Mode Required

Select how and where the work will be carried out. Options typically include On-site, Remote, and Hybrid. This is one of the most searched filters by job seekers, so accuracy here is important.

4

Role

Role Required

This is a category field that classifies the job under a professional role — for example, Software Engineer, Accountant, or Marketing Manager. Begin typing in the field and select from the autocomplete suggestions that appear. This categorisation helps CorrectNG match your job to the right job seekers.

Note: The role field uses an autocomplete search. If the role you need does not appear in the suggestions, try a broader term or a synonym.
5

Application Deadline

Application Deadline Required

Set the last date on which job seekers can submit an application. The deadline is entered using three separate dropdowns for Day, Month, and Year. Once the deadline passes, the job listing will close automatically and new applications will no longer be accepted.

Important: Expired jobs cannot be edited. If your deadline has passed, you will need to create a new job posting. Make sure your deadline is accurate before publishing.
6

Location

Remote Job Toggle Optional

If this is a fully remote position, tick the “This is a remote job” checkbox. When enabled, the City and Country fields become optional and the listing will be tagged as Remote.

City Required for non-remote

Enter the city where the job is based. This is required for all non-remote positions and is used to display the location on the listing and in location-based search filters.

State Optional

Enter the state or region of the job location, if applicable.

Country Required for non-remote

Select the country where the role is based. Required for all non-remote jobs.

7

Salary

Currency Optional

Select the currency for the salary. Defaults to NGN (Nigerian Naira). You can change this to match the currency of the role if hiring for an international position.

Salary / Compensation Optional

Enter the salary amount, range, or compensation structure. You can write this as a specific figure, a range (e.g. 150,000 – 200,000 per month), or a general note (e.g. Competitive, Negotiable). This is displayed publicly on the job listing.

Tip: Jobs with visible salary information consistently attract more applications. Where possible, provide at least a range rather than leaving this blank.
8

Job Content

These three fields form the main body of your job listing. All three support rich text formatting — you can use bold, bullet points, and numbered lists to improve readability.

Job Summary Required

A concise overview of the role. Describe what the position is, what the team or company does, and why the role exists. This is typically the first thing a candidate reads, so keep it clear and engaging. Two to four sentences is usually sufficient.

Key Responsibilities Required

List the main duties and day-to-day tasks the successful candidate will be responsible for. Use a bulleted list format for easy reading. Be specific — vague responsibility lists discourage good candidates and attract the wrong ones.

Requirements and Qualifications Required

List the education, skills, certifications, and experience required for this role. Separate must-have requirements from nice-to-have ones where possible. This field sets the baseline expectation for applicants reading the listing.

Application Method

Choose how job seekers will submit their application. There are three options. This choice permanently locks once a job is published — it cannot be changed when editing an existing job.

🏢 Accept Applications on CorrectNG

Applicants apply directly through CorrectNG. You manage everything — screening, shortlisting, emailing, scoring, and exporting — from your employer dashboard. This method unlocks the full ATS feature set.

Premium Required

🔗 External Link

Applicants clicking “Apply” on CorrectNG are redirected to a URL you provide — such as your company’s own careers page or a third-party ATS portal. You must provide a valid application URL.

Free Plan

📧 Email

Applicants are shown an email address and instructed to send their application there directly. You must provide a valid receiving email address.

Free Plan
Important: The application method cannot be changed after a job is published. Choose carefully before posting, as this setting is permanently locked for the life of the job listing.
10

Application Sections

Onsite Applications Only

When accepting applications on CorrectNG, you choose exactly what information applicants must provide. Each section can be set as Required (applicant must fill it in) or Optional (applicant may skip it). Basic Information is always required and cannot be removed.

Basic Information
Name, email, phone, location, gender. Always required.
Professional Summary
A short personal statement from the applicant.
Work Experience
Past roles, employers, and dates.
Education
Academic qualifications and institutions.
Skills
Comma-separated skills list.
Certifications
Professional certificates and licences.
Resume / CV
CV file upload (PDF, DOC, DOCX, max 5MB).
NYSC and Travel
NYSC status and willingness to travel.
Additional Information
Languages, projects, volunteer experience.
Tip: Only request sections that are genuinely relevant to the role. Asking for too many sections increases drop-off rates. A well-targeted application form leads to higher completion rates and better-quality submissions.

Eligibility Screening

Onsite Applications Only

CorrectNG automatically screens applicants against the criteria you set before they can submit. Applicants who do not meet your requirements are blocked from applying and shown a clear message explaining why. This means every application that reaches your dashboard has already passed your eligibility gate.

🎂 Age Restriction

Maximum Age Optional

Set the maximum age (in years) an applicant must be to apply. This field is only visible when the Age section is included in your application form. Enter a value between 16 and 99. Leave blank to accept applicants of any age.

Age As Of Date Optional

Specify the reference date against which the applicant’s age should be calculated. For example, if you need applicants to be 35 or under by the 1st of January, set that date here. If left blank, the applicant’s age is calculated at the time they apply.

💼 Minimum Experience Requirement

Minimum Years of Experience Optional

Set the minimum total years of professional experience an applicant must have to be eligible. This field is only visible when the Work Experience section is included in your application form. Enter a value between 0 and 50. You can use decimal values such as 0.5 for six months or 2.5 for two and a half years.

How it works: The system checks the applicant’s cumulative work experience across all roles they have listed. Overlapping date ranges are not double-counted — only unique time worked is totalled.

🎓 Educational Qualification Screening

When enabled, applicants must hold at least one of the educational qualifications you specify in order to apply. You can create multiple qualification groups, giving you the flexibility to accept candidates from a variety of academic backgrounds.

Enable Education Screening Optional Toggle

Switch this on to activate qualification screening for this job. Once enabled, you can build one or more qualification rules that define the acceptable education criteria.

Qualification Groups Optional

Each group defines an acceptable qualification pathway. For each group you can specify the degree level (e.g. Bachelor’s, HND, OND), the field of study, and the minimum grade or classification required. An applicant qualifies if they match at least one of the groups you define.

Example: If you are willing to hire candidates with either a Bachelor’s degree in any field or an HND in Accounting, you would create two separate groups — one for each path. Applicants who match either will be allowed to apply.
12

Custom Questions

Onsite Applications Only

Beyond the standard application sections, you can add your own custom questions specific to this role. Each custom question appears as a separate section within the application form that the applicant must complete.

Question Title Required per question

The heading of the question as the applicant will see it, for example “Why are you interested in this role?” or “Describe a relevant project you have worked on.”

Description Optional

Additional context or instructions to help the applicant understand what you are looking for in their answer.

Field Type Required per question

Choose how the applicant provides their answer. Options include: Text (open-ended written response), Single Choice (select one from a list), and Multiple Choice (select one or more from a list). For choice-based types, you must provide at least two options.

Required or Optional Required per question

Set whether answering this question is compulsory or optional for the applicant. Required questions block submission if left blank. Optional questions can be skipped.

Tip: Keep custom questions focused and relevant. One or two well-chosen questions are more effective than a long list. Use them to surface information that the standard sections cannot capture.
13

Application Limit

Onsite Applications Only
Maximum Applications Optional

Set a cap on the total number of applications this job can receive. Once the limit is reached, the listing is automatically marked as filled and new applicants can no longer apply. You can enter any value between 1 and 9,999. Leave blank if you want to accept an unlimited number of applications.

When to use this: The application limit is useful for high-demand roles where you expect a very large number of submissions and want to keep the review process manageable. It is also useful for batch hiring where you are filling a fixed number of seats.
14

Publishing Your Job

Once all required fields are filled in, click Publish Job Posting at the bottom of the form. The system will validate your entries and alert you to any missing or invalid fields before proceeding.

1
The form is submitted and all fields are validated server-side.
2
If your company profile is not at 100% completion, the system will block publishing and ask you to complete your profile first.
3
If you selected Accept Applications on CorrectNG and do not have an active Premium subscription, the system will block publishing and direct you to the pricing page.
4
On success, the job is published immediately and becomes visible to job seekers on CorrectNG.
Once published, your job listing will appear in search results on CorrectNG and will be open for applications until the deadline you set.
15

Editing a Job

You can edit most details of an active job at any time from the My Jobs section of your dashboard. Click the Edit button next to any job to load it back into the job form with all existing values pre-filled.

What can be changed

You can update the job title, work mode, role, deadline, location, salary, job summary, responsibilities, requirements, and application sections.

What cannot be changed

The application method (onsite, offsite, or email) is permanently locked once a job is published and cannot be changed during editing.

Note: Expired jobs — those whose deadline has passed — cannot be edited. You will need to create a new job posting if you want to re-open a position.
Saving changes: When editing, the Publish button changes to Save Changes. Click it to apply your updates. The job remains live throughout the editing process and your changes take effect immediately on save.
