Creating a job board

Use Opportunities to create an alumni job board in 360Alumni where members can share jobs, contract work, scholarships, funding, leadership programs, committees, job fairs, and other career-related opportunities. A focused alumni job board gives your community access to listings they may not find elsewhere—and makes it easier for alumni to hire alumni.

Turn on Opportunities

1. Go to Admin > Customize > Features.
2. Turn on Opportunities.
3. Save your changes.

Set up your opportunity board

After you enable Opportunities, configure the board before inviting members to post.

1. Go to the Opportunities settings in Admin.
2. Add at least one opportunity type. For example, you might create types for:
   • Full-time jobs
   • Part-time jobs
   • Contract or freelance work
   • Available for hire
   • Scholarships or funding
   • Leadership development
   • Committees and volunteer roles
   • Job fairs and networking events
3. Add a description for your Opportunities board. Explain what members can post and any guidelines for listings.
4. Choose whether Guests can view or use the board.
5. Choose whether opportunities submitted by users require admin approval before they are published.
6. If approval is required, designate the admin users who should receive notifications when a new opportunity needs review.
7. Save your settings.

Approving new opportunities

If you are an administrator and new opportunities require approval in your community, you can review each submitted opportunity before it appears on the board.

1. Go to Admin > Manage Community > Approval Requests
2. Click the Opportunities tab. 
3. You can apply a filter where Status is Pending to see only the pending opportunities. 
4. View the pending opportunities and approve or decline them individually, or by selecting several at a time.
5. When creating or approving an opportunity, choose whether to notify community members about the new listing.

Use notifications selectively for timely or high-value opportunities so members stay informed without receiving unnecessary messages.

Let members apply in 360Alumni

For job opportunities, you can allow members to apply directly in your 360Alumni community.

1. When creating the opportunity, under "How to apply", enter an email to receive applications. 
2. Choose whether to require a resume with the application. 
3. Publish the opportunity.

Members can then submit their applications from the listing with a few clicks. This keeps the experience within your alumni engagement CRM and makes your alumni job board easier to use.
