Setup Wizard

When you activate Kraken Careers for the first time, you’ll be guided through a Setup Wizard. This wizard helps you configure the essential components required before creating your first job posting.

The goal is to ensure all core settings are in place so your hiring system works correctly from day one.

The wizard walks you step-by-step through five key areas:

1

Email Notifications

You’ll be prompted to enter the primary details used for sending automated emails, including:

  • From Name
  • From Email
  • Reply-To Address
  • BCC Recipients (optional)

These settings determine how your messages appear to applicants and team members.

2

Job Application Form Settings

The wizard introduces the default application form options used when applicants submit a job application. This ensures your core application form works properly before any jobs are created.

3

Company Profile

Here you’ll enter your company’s:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Description
  • Logo

This information is displayed across job postings, emails, and job feeds.

4

Job Location

If your organization operates from more than one address, you’ll add your first location here. Additional locations can be created later.

5

Benefits

The wizard asks you to create at least one Benefits Summary. This ensures every job posting has access to a baseline set of employee perks and culture highlights.

You can add more summaries afterward if you hire for departments with different benefit structures.

After Completing the Setup Wizard

Once the wizard is finished, your Kraken Careers environment is fully prepared.

You can immediately move on to:

  • Creating job postings
  • Managing locations
  • Adding benefits
  • Reviewing applicants
