Posting Your First Job: A Step-by-Step Guide for 2026
Ready to find your next global star? Recruitroo walks you through the Step-by-Step Guide to posting a compliant, high-performing job advert in 2026.
In 2026, a job post is more than just a list of requirements; it is a legal document that triggers a sequence of immigration and compliance workflows. If your job post is incorrectly categorized or lacks the specific salary data required for 2026, your entire permit application could be compromised before you even find a candidate. At Recruitroo, we have redesigned the job-posting experience to be "Compliance-First." Our platform guides you through the process, ensuring that every detail—from the SOC code to the hourly rate—is perfectly aligned with current Irish and UK regulations.
The first step is Role Classification. Our AI-driven engine helps you map your internal job title to the standardized Occupational Codes used by the Home Office and DETE. This is critical for 2026, as the salary thresholds you must meet are directly tied to these codes. Once the role is classified, our Salary Validator checks your proposed remuneration against the 1 March 2026 thresholds. If your budget falls short, the system will flag it immediately, saving you from a costly and time-consuming refusal later in the process. Recruitroo ensures your job post isn't just attractive to talent, but also bulletproof for the authorities.
The Job Posting Workflow
Step 1: The LMNT Trigger
If the role requires a Labour Market Needs Test, Recruitroo automatically schedules the 28-day advert on JobsIreland.ie and EURES. We track the 28-day countdown so you don't have to.
Step 2: Video-First Requirements
Choose the specific Video Demo prompts you want candidates to record. Do you need a chef to show their knife skills or an engineer to explain a CAD drawing? You set the stage here.
Optimizing for Global Reach
In 2026, your job post must compete on a global stage. Recruitroo doesn't just host your ad; we syndicate it across our network of international partner sites and social channels. To maximize your "Apply Rate," we recommend including a "Virtual Tour" or a short video from the hiring manager. Candidates in 2026 are 4x more likely to apply for a role if they can see the workplace and hear the team's voice. Recruitroo allows you to embed these media elements directly into the job post, creating an immersive experience that builds trust with talent thousands of miles away.
Finally, once the post is live, you can monitor its performance through the Recruitroo Analytics Dashboard. See how many candidates from specific regions are viewing the role and how many are progressing to the video demo stage. This real-time data allows you to tweak your requirements or salary offerings on the fly to better match market conditions. Posting your first job on Recruitroo isn't just about finding an employee; it’s about launching a strategic talent acquisition campaign. The world is watching. Make sure your job post stands out with Recruitroo.
Posting Tip: "Job posts that include a specific salary range (rather than 'competitive') see a 60% increase in high-quality applications from visa-required nationals in 2026."
