Stay visible — even without an open position

Not every company always has an open position. But staying visible still pays off. Jobmaps allows switching between job opening and job profile — in one click.

A position is filled — but the next hire is only a matter of time. On Jobmaps, employers can switch their listings between two types: a job opening for active vacancies and a job profile that signals which kinds of applicants would generally be welcome. Job profiles already existed — what’s new is that switching happens on the same URL.

Job opening and job profile: Two sides of the same coin

A job opening describes a specific vacancy. A job profile shows what kind of applications an employer accepts at any time — even without an active opening. Both use the same questionnaire, the same settings, the same data.

Employers can publish listings as open positions or for speculative applications.

Switching happens directly within the listing via a dropdown menu. All applications, settings, and data are preserved. No new listing, no data loss. The URL stays the same — whether it’s a job opening or a job profile. This turns every listing into a permanent application link that can be used on the company website, in emails, or on social media.

The job profile is the counterpart to the talent pool: employers stay visible on the map, receive applications, and collect candidates in the pool — regardless of whether a position is currently open.
