Jobs — Public vs Uploaded

How Careers organizes jobs into two separate feeds — Public (curated by Mapademics) and Uploaded (added by your team) — and when to use each.

Jobs — Public vs Uploaded

Careers separates jobs into two sidebar items, because the two kinds of jobs behave very differently:

  • Uploaded Jobs — the postings your team adds directly. Fully editable.
  • Public Jobs — the postings Mapademics curates for your organization. Read-only.

This page is the orientation. Each kind has its own dedicated page for the day-to-day mechanics.


How they differ

What's in the feedWhatever your team adds.Determined by your contract with Mapademics — typically scoped by region and sector.

Both kinds contribute to every applicant's Jobs tab — matches are computed across the union of both lists.

{% hint style="info" %} Use Public jobs to widen the field, Uploaded jobs to track your own pipeline. If your team is sourcing for a specific employer, an Uploaded job lets you keep that role in your workspace independent of whether it's part of the public feed. If you need to override a Public job's fields, add an Uploaded job for the same role — the Uploaded one is what your team controls. {% endhint %}


Why this is split

Public Jobs is a feed that updates outside of your team's control. Mixing it with Uploaded jobs in a single editable list would have invited accidental edits and made the toolbar lie about what's possible — Add Job, Bulk Actions, and the row-selection checkbox column only make sense for jobs your team owns. The split keeps each list honest: Uploaded Jobs offers everything you'd expect from an editable workspace, and Public Jobs strips its toolbar down to the read-only view.

The same Source distinction still applies on Employers — see the Employers page — because employer records often span both feeds (an employer auto-created from one Public job that your team has also created an Uploaded job for).
