Overview

When you create an event, Eightfold generates a landing page automatically using your enterprise branding defaults. The landing page is the primary touchpoint for candidates before and during the event. This article explains how to configure each section of the landing page for a specific event.

Before you begin

• Confirm the event has been created. The landing page is generated automatically at event creation.
• Confirm positions have been added to the event in the Positions tab. The Jobs We Are Hiring section on the landing page reflects positions linked to the event.
• If you plan to use a custom registration form, confirm it has been created in Admin Console under Feedback and Assessments > Forms Library before starting this configuration.

Opening the landing page

1. Navigate to the Events home page and select the event you want to configure.
2. Select the Landing Page tab within the event.
3. Click on Edit page

The landing page preview loads with a left sidebar showing four configuration sections: Event listing, Landing page, Registration process, and Registration confirmation. Each section is editable inline from the preview.

Step 1: Configure the event listing

The Event listing section controls the banner image and the event card that candidates see when browsing published events.

Update the banner image

1. In the landing page preview, locate the banner image at the top of the page.
2. Click the edit icon on the banner. The Edit Banner modal opens.
3. Click Replace to upload a new banner image from your device.
4. Click Confirm.

Note: Eightfold recommends a banner image size of 1500px x 60px for optimal display. To set a default banner image across all events, configure it in the Admin Console under Talent Acquisition > Events > Branding.

Update basic event information

Event title, date, time, and venue are controlled from the Overview tab.

1. Click the edit icon on the event thumbnail card.
2. In the Event Details section, select Edit.
3. Update the relevant fields: event name, date and time, location, and about section.
4. Select Save. The landing page reflects these changes automatically.

Note: In-person events accept a physical address. Virtual events require a valid meeting URL. Hybrid events require a valid meeting URL and accept an optional physical address.

Step 2: Configure the landing page content

The Landing page section contains five editable content blocks: Description, Speakers, People who work at, Media, and Blogs.

8. Click Add to save the speaker.

To edit an existing speaker, click the edit icon next to the speaker card and update the relevant fields.

3. Enter the following details for each blog:
   • Blog URL (required): The full URL of the blog post.
   • Blog title (required): The display title for the blog card.
   • Blog description: A short summary of the blog content.
   • Blog Image: Upload an image to display with the blog card.
4. Click Add to include additional blog entries.
5. Click Update.

Step 3: Configure the registration process

The Registration process section controls how candidates interact with the registration flow.

Resume upload

1. In the left sidebar, select Registration process.
2. Locate the Resume upload toggle.
3. Enable the toggle to show the resume upload screen during registration.

Note: To make resume upload required rather than optional, configure the resumeOptional field in Admin Console under Talent Acquisition > Events.

Registration form

1. In the Registration process section, locate the registration form preview.
2. Click the edit icon to open the View and Select Registration template modal.
3. Select a registration template from the dropdown. The form preview updates to show the questions candidates will see.
4. To keep registrations open after the event date, select the Do not close registrations post event date checkbox.
5. Click Confirm.

Note: The default registration form collects first name, last name, email, and phone. To use a custom form, create it in the Admin Console under Feedback and Assessments > Forms Library with the form type set to Event Registration Form. If a required template is not visible, contact your Eightfold CSM.

Step 4: Configure the registration confirmation

The Registration confirmation section controls what candidates see after completing registration.

1. In the left sidebar, select Registration confirmation.
2. Configure the following settings as needed:
   • Candidate QR code: Enable the toggle to display a QR code to candidates after registration. Recruiters can scan this code to mark attendance at the event.
   • Registration success email: Select the email template to send candidates after successful registration. To preview the template, select View Registration Success Email. To customize the template, navigate to Account > Communication Templates > Planned Event Registration Success.

Step 5: Share the landing page

Once configuration is complete, share the landing page with candidates.

1. Select the Landing Page tab and locate the sharing options at the top of the page.
2. Use the following options as needed:

Expected outcome

The event landing page reflects your configuration. Candidates who access the registration URL see the banner image, event details, open positions, speaker profiles, employee profiles, and the registration form you selected. Registration responses are captured in the Candidates tab.

Note: Branding changes made at the event category level or global Events Branding level do not affect landing pages that have already been individually configured. The hierarchy is: individual landing page settings override event category settings, which override global Events Branding settings.

Troubleshooting

The Jobs We Are Hiring section is empty. Positions have not been added to the event. Navigate to the Positions tab and add the relevant positions before returning to the Landing Page tab.

The registration form dropdown does not show my custom form. The form must be created in Admin Console under Feedback and Assessments > Forms Library with the form type set to Event Registration Form. Verify the form type and confirm the form has been activated.

Branding changes are not appearing on the landing page. Individual landing page settings override category and global branding settings. If settings were previously saved at the individual event level, those take precedence. Edit the settings directly within the Landing Page tab for that event.
