Welcome to Your New Dashboard
The Everyday Vacancies Recruiters Dashboard is a modern Single Page Application (SPA) designed to make managing your recruitment process faster and more efficient. Unlike traditional websites that reload the entire page when you navigate, our dashboard updates only the content area—giving you a seamless, app-like experience.
💡 Pro Tip
The SPA architecture means you can navigate between sections without losing your scroll position or waiting for full page reloads. Everything feels instant!
Dashboard Layout
Your dashboard consists of four main areas:
Header Bar
Contains quick access links to Home, Notifications (with badge count), Support, and Documentation. Also shows your name and logout button.
Sidebar Navigation
Your main navigation menu with collapsible groups for Jobs, Applications, Screening, Team & Access, Company, and Account settings.
Content Area
The main workspace where all your dashboard content loads. This is where you'll spend most of your time managing jobs and applications.
Footer
Contains social media links, privacy policy, terms, and contact information for quick reference.
Navigating the Sidebar
The sidebar is organized into logical groups. Click on any group header to expand or collapse it:
Jobs Group
Applications Group
Screening Group
When viewing a specific job's screening, you'll also see:
Understanding the SPA Experience
Here's what makes the dashboard special:
Instant Navigation
When you click any link in the sidebar, only the content area refreshes. The sidebar stays open, your navigation state is preserved, and you'll notice:
- No full page reloads
- Faster transitions between sections
- Your sidebar groups stay expanded/collapsed as you left them
- Active items are highlighted automatically
Smart Form Submissions
Forms throughout the dashboard submit without page refreshes too. When you:
- Create a new job posting
- Update application status
- Add screening questions
- Save company settings
The dashboard handles everything smoothly and shows success/error messages inline.
💡 Pro Tip
You can use your browser's back and forward buttons normally! The dashboard maintains proper history, so navigating back works exactly as you'd expect.
Mobile Experience
On smaller screens, the dashboard adapts automatically:
- Hamburger Menu: The sidebar collapses into a slide-out menu. Tap the ☰ icon to open it.
- Overlay: When the sidebar is open on mobile, tapping outside closes it.
- Touch-Friendly: All buttons and links are sized for easy tapping.
- Escape Key: Press Esc to close the mobile sidebar.
Key Features by Section

Our screening system helps you pre-qualify candidates before they apply:
- Question Types: Yes/No, Single Choice, Multiple Choice, Numeric, and Text (informational)
- Weighted Scoring: Assign importance to each question (1-100)
- Partial Credit: Multi-choice questions give proportional scores (e.g., 2 out of 3 correct = 67%)
- Mandatory Gates: Mark critical questions that must be passed to apply
- Auto-Tagging: Candidates are automatically tagged (Exceptional Match, High Match, etc.)
👥 Team Management
Invite colleagues to help with recruitment:
- Multiple Roles: Admin, HR Manager, or Recruiter with different permission levels

🏢 Company Profile
Build your employer brand:

Best Practices
1. Keep Your Dashboard Organized
- Archive jobs that are no longer active
- Delete drafts you won't finish
- Regularly review and respond to applications
2. Use Screening Effectively
- Start with 5-10 key questions, not 50
- Use weighted scoring to prioritize must-have requirements
- Review the question library before creating custom questions
3. Collaborate with Your Team
- Invite team members so you're not a bottleneck
- Use appropriate roles—not everyone needs admin access
- Communicate status changes through the built-in system
4. Stay Responsive
- Check your dashboard notifications regularly
- Respond to applications within 48 hours when possible
- Use status updates so candidates aren't left wondering
