How do I share my organization's page, and is it public?
Overview
Your organization's page is the front door people arrive at when you recruit. It carries your logo, cover photo and description, a GET INVOLVED button that leads to your application forms, and a Featured opportunities section. The page itself is public, but what a visitor sees on it is decided opportunity by opportunity and form by form, and that is the part most people miss.
1. How do I share the link to my page?
Go to Page, then click Share. The Share page window opens with your link already generated.
- Click Copy Link to put it on your clipboard, then paste it wherever you are recruiting.
- Or use the Facebook, X and email buttons underneath to post it or open a pre-filled email draft.
The same window is also under Actions > ORGANIZATION PAGE > Copy link. The link is a normal web address, so it works just as well on your website, in a newsletter, in a job board post or in an email signature.
2. Is the page public?
Yes. Anyone with the link can open your page, and they do not need a Vome account to look at it. That is the point of it.
What is public is the page itself: your organization's details, plus the opportunities and forms you have chosen to feature on it. Your database, your schedule and the rest of your admin area are not public and are never shown there.
An account is only needed to act. To submit a form or apply to an opportunity, a visitor creates a Vome profile as part of that process. Until they submit something, they are not connected to your organization at all, so a page view on its own puts nobody in your database.
A public page does not mean public contents. Every opportunity and every form carries its own privacy setting. A private one never appears on your page, no matter who opens the link.
3. What does a visitor actually see on the page?
Only your public content. Privacy is set on each opportunity, and it decides three different outcomes:
- Public. The opportunity appears in the Featured opportunities section, and anyone can find it.
- Semi-private. It appears in that section too, but only for signed-in users who meet the conditions you set. Someone browsing without an account will not see it.
- Private. It never appears on the page. The only way in is the direct link to that opportunity.
Forms behave the same way. A public form is reachable from the GET INVOLVED button, and a private form only through its own link. Categories follow their contents: a category appears on your page once it holds at least one public opportunity, and drops off when it holds none.
4. What can someone do once they land there?
There are two routes in, and both end in a form.
- GET INVOLVED opens your general application form. If you have more than one public form, they choose from the list first.
- A card in Featured opportunities opens that opportunity's landing page, where they can apply. Whether they get a form of its own depends on that opportunity's recruitment workflow. Where the workflow has no form attached, the landing page sends them to your general application form instead.
It is worth spelling this out in whatever message you send with the link, because someone who only browses and leaves has not applied for anything.
5. Can I share something other than a link?
Yes, a QR code. Go to Actions > ORGANIZATION PAGE > Generate QR Code and you can build a printable code for your page, then edit the wording that prints with it, including the heading, the sub-line and the call to action. It works well on a poster, a table sign or a flyer at an event.
The Actions menu also copies narrower links for you. Under Opportunities and under Categories there is a Copy link for a single opportunity or a single category, which is how you share a private opportunity with someone directly.
Do not write the email yourself. The Share page window has a section marked Recommended, called "Email template to send to new applicants regarding your organization's page". It holds two ready-made emails, one for people you want applying to a specific opportunity and one for people you want submitting your general application form. Copy the wording and send it from your own mailbox.
6. Where do I change what appears on my page?
Not in the Share page window. You change it on the item itself, and each of these is covered separately:
- How do I add or remove opportunities from my page?
- How do I add or remove application forms from my page?
- How do I add or remove categories from my page?
To change the page's own details, logo or cover photo, use Edit page on the page itself.
Summary
- Page > Share > Copy Link. The same window sits under Actions > ORGANIZATION PAGE > Copy link.
- The page is public and needs no account to view. Applying does need a profile.
- Your database, schedule and admin area are never shown on it.
- Nobody joins your database by visiting. They join by submitting a form.
- Public opportunities show in Featured opportunities, semi-private ones only to eligible signed-in users, and private ones never.
- A category appears once it holds at least one public opportunity.
- Generate QR Code gives you a printable version of the same link, and Actions also copies a link to one opportunity or one category.
