What is a careers page? What it should contain and how to get one for free (2026)
A careers page is the public page where a company lists its open jobs and accepts applications. What belongs on it, how it differs from a job board, and how a verified company gets one on ofper for free.

What should a careers page contain?
Everything else — culture videos, benefits lists, employee quotes — is optional. Candidates come to a careers page to find out whether a role exists and how to apply; the page has done its job when both are obvious.
- Every open role, each linking to a full job page with title, location, employment type, salary range where offered, and how to apply
- A short, factual description of the company: what it does, where it is, how many people work there
- Signals that the employer is real: a verified domain, the registered company name, a website
- A way to apply that works on a phone in a few minutes
How is a careers page different from a job board?
A job board such as Naukri, Indeed or LinkedIn Jobs aggregates listings from many employers and charges to promote them. A careers page belongs to one employer, lists only its jobs, and is free to link to from anywhere. Most companies need both: the board for reach, the careers page as the place every listing ultimately points to.
How do you get a careers page for free?
On ofper, verify your company's domain with a DNS record or an email to an address at that domain. Verification is automated and free. From then on, every job you publish appears on ofper.com/c/your-company and on its own page, with Organization and JobPosting structured data so search engines and Google for Jobs can index it. Link to the page from your own website's menu; ofper also provides a small badge you can paste in.
What the ofper careers page does not offer: a custom domain, theming beyond your logo, or embedding inside your own site. It is a hosted page, not a website builder.
Questions, answered straight
Do I need a website to have a careers page?
No. An ofper careers page is hosted at ofper.com/c/your-company and works without a website of your own. You do need to control a domain, because verification is by DNS record or by email at that domain.
Can candidates apply directly on the careers page?
Yes. Each job page on ofper has an apply form; the candidate's resume text is extracted in their own browser to pre-fill it, and the application lands in the employer's pipeline.
Does a careers page get jobs onto Google?
A careers page whose job pages carry valid JobPosting structured data is eligible for Google for Jobs. ofper job pages emit that markup from the job record. Google decides what it shows.
