How do we start using Patchwork Hub?

To start using Patchwork Hub, sign up to create a free Patchwork Hub employer account. For further information on this, check out our how do I sign up as an employer article.

To create your account, you’ll need to enter some account details, details about your organisation and agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Once you’ve hit Register, simply verify your email by clicking the link in the email you’ll receive once you’ve signed up. If you require further information about verifying your Patchwork Hub account, check out our article on this.

Your account will then be ready to use. 

Complete your company's public profile

Your company profile is where you will tell potential candidates and our wider network about your company. You should share your beliefs and aims, as well as what you might expect from employees. Use this page to tell our professionals and partners about the company and the work that you do. Your company profile is your ‘shop window’ to the world.

To complete your company profile, first go to your dashboard. You can access this by navigating to the drop-down menu in the top right corner of your screen and clicking your name. You will then need to click Employer Dashboard, and navigate to the Edit Company Profile button on the left side of your employer dashboard. Once you are on the Edit Company Profile page, you will be able to fill in more information about your organisation.

You must complete a company profile to be able to post job adverts on Patchwork Hub.

If you require further advice about completing your company profile, please read our how to create your company’s public profile article.

Choose your membership

Once you’ve completed your company profile and are ready to post jobs, you will need to purchase one of our job posting packages. At Patchwork Hub, we offer a range of packages to satisfy your hiring needs. This includes one-off job adverts, and Monthly and Annual Partnership Packages that allow for unlimited job posts. These can be seen on our membership page. Here you can choose the offer that works best for you.

Post your jobs

Once you’ve purchased your membership package, you’re ready to post jobs! 

This can be done by clicking the Post a Job button in the top right corner of the Patchwork Hub website. You will then be required to fill in all the mandatory fields, and should include information about the position, the salary or pay, and explain what the steps in the recruitment process will be.

Once you have filled out the information required, simply click the Post a Job button at the bottom of the page. 

Your job will then be listed as Pending on your employer dashboard until the job advert has been approved by the Patchwork Hub team. This ensures that all job adverts are assessed to ensure that they do not violate any of our guidelines.

As soon as your job advert has been approved, applicants will be able to find and apply for your job. The vacancy will be open for the number of weeks shown in your purchased package.

For more information about job advert approval, read our ‘Why does my job post need to get approved?’ article. 

If you need help creating your account, setting up your company profile, or purchasing and posting jobs, we’re here for you. For new employers using our platform, we offer a service to handle these steps for you. Simply reach out via our Contact page and ask for more details.
