Advanced branding

Where to find: Click on your Name (top right) - Account Preferences - Company Branding

It is important that your referral program is in line with your company branding. In Firstbird, you can create different job headers for your jobs, add different logos, and individual personal messages.

Administrators are able to create and edit branding elements. As soon as branding has been successfully created, this branding is visible when you create a new job.

 

Edit your default branding

Where to find: Click on your Name (top right) - Account Preferences - Company Branding - Job Advert

In each Firstbird Account, the default branding can be edited. Log-in to your Firstbird Account, click on your name top right, and a drop down menu will appear. Go to "Account Preferences" next to "Company Branding", and under "Job Advert" you will see the default branding.

To edit this, please click the button "Edit". The name "Default Branding" cannot be changed and you will not be able to delete this branding.

 

Customize job ad header

Visible with every job is the company name, the address of the company’s homepage, and the job header. You can upload the job ad header (minimum size of 1440 x 470 px) here and confirm your upload by clicking "Crop Image".

 

Edit personal message

Add a text suggestion for when your Talent Scouts share a job via email or WhatsApp here.

First, choose the language you need and next, click on the little arrow next to "Email" or "WhatsApp" and the text editor will appear. Now you're ready to enter text via "copy and paste" or simply by typing.

If you're happy with our default message, no changes are needed.

 

Add social media branding

To personalize your job share, please upload a logo (minimum size of 200 × 200 px) and enter a short company description (max. 155 characters) here. As soon as a Talent Scout shares a job in one of his/her social media accounts, both will be visible. Read more if you need any assistance in uploading your logo.

Optional, you can upload a bigger picture (recommended size: at least 1200 x 628 px, minimum size: 600 x 314, aspect ratio of 1.91:1) which will be visible with a job share instead of the logo. This works for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Xing.

When you have finished making changes, click the button "Save Changes".

The feature "Branding" will not be visible if no additional branding has been created by an Administrator and the default branding will be used automatically.

If no further Branding has been created by you or another Administrator, the "Branding" field will not be visible at the job creation, since the Standard Branding will automatically be selected.

 

A tip for uploading a logo

Where to find: Click on your Name (top right) - Account Preferences - Company Branding - Job Advert

In the event that you have problems in uploading your company logo, try the following:

• Open the logo in an image editing program (e.g. IrfanView).
• Choose the function "Canvas size" (the name for the function in IrfanView). The name of the function will depend on the type of image editing program you are using.
• Change the canvas dimension in pixels. The result should be a square version of your company logo (min. 200 x 200 pixel).
• Choose the canvas color (mostly white).
• Save your changes.
• After completing these steps, you should have no problem when uploading your company logo.

If a problem continues to occur, don't hesitate to contact our support team.

 

 

Customizable registration page

Where to find it: Click on your Name (top right) - Account Preferences - Company Branding - Registration Page

Create your registration page for your Talent Scouts and customize it according to your company guidelines and corporate identity.

Once the registration link has been activated and a Talent Scout clicks on it, they will automatically be forwarded to your registration page to create a new account. To set up your registration page, go to your "Account Preferences" - "Branding" - "Registration Page".

The following elements can be changed or uploaded according your company designs:

• Company logo
• Background image (2160 x 705 px)
• Headline
• Welcome text
  
  

 

A tip for the background image of your registration page

Different screen sizes (on desktop) influence how much of your uploaded background image will be visible for your Talent Scout. Therefore we recommend not to use pictures with people or text.

If a person or text is mandatory on the background image of your registration page, please find below a graphic which shows you a "safe area" for such items.
