--- title: "Add a Company" label: "Add a company" description: "Create a new company profile on your job board so you can link jobs to it." publishedAt: 2025-12-31 updatedAt: 2026-10-14 order: 1 status: "published" faqs: - question: Do I need to add a company before posting a job? answer: "Yes. Every job must link to a company. You can also create companies inline from the job form using the 'Add new company' option." - question: What does Cavuno auto-fill when I add a company? answer: "When you enter a website URL, Cavuno enriches the profile automatically. It fetches the logo from the domain, and fills in the summary, description, and social links (LinkedIn, X, Facebook) from public sources. You can edit any enriched field afterward." - question: How do I fill missing descriptions for companies created by backfill? answer: "First make sure each company has its official homepage URL. Cavuno uses that URL to enrich empty summaries and descriptions automatically. Updating the website URL re-triggers enrichment. If public sources still do not provide a description after enrichment finishes, add one manually in the company profile." - question: How soon after I add a company will its jobs start appearing? answer: "Adding a company does not import jobs by itself. Turn on Automatically add jobs from this company (shown once the company has a website URL), or choose Add to backfill under Grow, Backfill, Company sources. Jobs then usually appear within a few hours, after the scraper finishes and the next sync runs. You cannot start a scrape manually; to get jobs live right away, post them or import a CSV or XML file. See [When jobs from a new company appear](/docs/backfill/configure-backfill#when-jobs-from-a-new-company-appear)." - question: What file formats are supported for logos? answer: "JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. Use a square image, minimum 200x200 pixels. Transparent PNGs work best." --- A company profile is a public page that shows the employer's name, logo, description, and all their open positions. Every job on your board links to a company, so creating the profile is the first step before posting jobs for that employer. A complete company profile helps candidates research an employer before applying and gives search engines an indexable page associated with that employer. Neither stronger applications nor search traffic is guaranteed. ## Before you begin Have the company's official name and homepage URL ready. If you upload a logo, use an image you have permission to publish. You need access to the board's **Companies** area. ## Add a company 1. Click **Companies** in the sidebar 2. Click **Add company** 3. Fill in the fields below 4. Click **Add company** to save ## Company fields ### Company name (required) The official company name as it should appear on your board. Max 120 characters. ### Website (optional but recommended) The company's homepage URL — not the careers page. Backfill, scraping, and enrichment all start from the homepage and discover the careers page automatically. This field powers automatic enrichment: when you enter a URL, Cavuno fetches the company logo from that domain and fills in missing profile fields from public sources (see [Automatic enrichment](#automatic-enrichment) below). The website also appears as a link on the public company profile. ### Summary (optional) A one-sentence tagline that appears in company listings and search results. Max 280 characters. Think of this as the company's elevator pitch. ### Logo (optional but recommended) The company logo appears on job listings, the employer directory, and the company profile page. Use a square image (minimum 200x200px) in JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF format. If you entered a website URL, Cavuno typically fetches the logo for you automatically. ### Description (optional) A detailed company overview using the rich text editor. Max 25,000 characters. Help candidates understand what the company does, its culture, and why they should want to work there. Include the industry, key products or services, and anything that makes the company stand out. ### Social links (optional) Add the company's social profiles: **X profile**, **LinkedIn**, **Facebook**, and **Instagram**. These appear on the public company profile page and help candidates verify the employer is legitimate. ### Automatically add jobs (conditional) If the company has a website, you can check **Automatically add jobs from this company** to enable job backfilling. Cavuno will monitor the company's careers page and import new job listings automatically. See [Configure backfill](/docs/backfill/configure-backfill) for details. ## Automatic enrichment When you add a company with a website URL, Cavuno automatically enriches the profile using public data. This saves you from manually researching and entering details for every employer on your board. Enrichment fills in any fields you leave empty: **Logo:** fetched directly from the company's website domain. **Summary:** a short tagline describing what the company does. **Description:** a detailed company overview suitable for the profile page. **Social links:** LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram profile URLs. Enrichment only fills empty fields. If you've already written a custom summary or description, Cavuno won't overwrite it. You can edit any enriched field afterward, and re-triggering enrichment by updating the website URL will only fill fields that are still empty. For boards with hundreds of companies (common when using [backfill](/docs/backfill)), automatic enrichment means every company profile has a logo, description, and social links without any manual effort. ## Bulk import To add many companies at once, use CSV or XML import: 1. Click **Companies** in the sidebar 2. Click **Import** 3. Upload a `.csv` or `.xml` file with `name` (required) and any of `website`, `summary`, `description`, `logo`, `linkedinUrl`, `xUrl`, and `facebookUrl`. AI mapping also recognizes common alternate headers. The import runs in the background with AI column mapping. Cavuno imports every mapped row, so pre-filter rows you do not want. Existing companies are matched by normalized domain and then normalized name, and are adopted without overwriting their profile. Full field and matching rules are in [Company and subscriber import](/docs/import-export/csv-import-export). ## After creating a company The company gets a public profile page at `yourboard.com/companies/[company-slug]`. The slug is generated automatically from the company name. Candidates can browse to this page from the [company directory](/docs/your-job-board/company-directory), and it's linked from every job posted under that company. ## Verify the company Open the company from **Companies**, then use its public-profile link. Confirm the intended name, website, logo, summary, description, and social links are visible. If enrichment is still pending or left fields empty, add the missing information manually rather than assuming every public source can be resolved. ## Example For a company called Acme with the homepage `https://acme.example`, use “Acme” as the name and the homepage—not a tracking URL—as the website. After saving, its jobs should all link back to the same Acme profile.
