Before You Begin
Before running the Setup Wizard, it’s helpful to gather a few details in advance. Having the following information ready will make your initial setup faster and ensure all core settings are accurate.
Here’s what You’ll Need:
1
Email Settings
Kraken Careers sends automated notifications to applicants and HR staff. To ensure smooth delivery and proper branding, you’ll configure your default email settings first.
From Name: The sender name displayed in your outgoing emails.
From Email: The email address used as the sender. Use an address on your own domain (e.g., hr@yourcompany.com) for best deliverability.
Reply-To Email: Where responses should be sent. Only one address is supported.
BCC (Optional): Add one or more internal email addresses to silently receive a copy of outgoing messages. Separate multiple addresses with commas.
Tip: Most organizations use the same email settings across all notifications, but you may customize each email later under Settings → Email.
2
Company Profile
One Company Profile is required, which most often is your head office. The Company Profile stores core information about your organization and is used throughout your job postings and applicant communications. If you operate multiple branches, additional profiles can be added after the initial setup.
You will need:
- Company Name (match your Google Business Profile exactly, if applicable)
- Company Address
- Short Company Description
- Company Logo (JPG, PNG, or SVG)
- Website URL (optional)
- Phone number (optional)
3
Job Location
One Job Location is required and should be a physical address – usually the same one listed in your Company Profile. After setup, you can add additional locations for other job opportunities – these will become selectable when creating job postings.
For each location, you’ll need:
- Location / Office Name
- Street Address
- City
- Province / State
- Postal / ZIP Code
- Country / Region
4
Benefits Summary
A Benefits Summary allows you to highlight company perks, benefit plans, and workplace culture across your job listings. You can create multiple Benefit Summaries and assign them to different job postings, after the initial setup.
A summary requires:
Title: A unique name for this benefits summary. (Additional benefit summaries can be created in the [Benefits] settings after initial set up is complete.).
Description: Summarize your company’s unique benefits, perks and culture. (e.g., professional development allowances, wellness programs, company benefit plans, etc.).
Next Steps
After gathering this information, you’re ready to move on the Setup Wizard.
The Setup Wizard helps you configure your email system, company details, initial form settings, your first job location, and your first benefits summary, ensuring Kraken Careers is ready for use immediately.
