# Set up the careers page (`hiring_setup_careers`)

Sets up the careers page at cncto.co/j/<name>: its name, intro, website, reply-to address and who hears about applications.

The careers page at cncto.co/j/<name> that lists the open jobs: its name, a short intro, the website, the address candidates' replies go to, and who hears about each application. Only what you pass changes.

Price: $0.001 a call. A call that fails costs nothing.

## Use it when

Before the first job, or when the page's words or addresses change.

## Say this to your agent

> Set up a careers page: we sell and fix bikes in Portland. Replies go to jobs@, and tell Luis about every application.
