Give employees a dedicated place to browse, apply to, and track internal openings — separate from the referrals workflow.

Enabling a job on the internal board

1. Open the job and go to Settings → Job Post.

2. Under Job post Listing, select Internal job board.

3. Choose what employees can do:

If you clear Internal job board, the job is removed from the board for all employees.

Apply to an internal job

Employees browse open internal roles on the dedicated board — separate from Referrals — with search, filters, sorting, and pagination.

1. Click Internal job board in the left navigation.

2. On the Jobs tab, find the role you want. You can search by job title, use Filters, or change Sort by.

3. Click the job title. You can also hover over the row and click Apply.

4. Read the job description on the left. The recruiter and hiring manager for the role are shown above it.

5. Optional: upload your resume in the box at the top of the form. Kula reads it and fills in the matching fields for you.

6. Complete the application form on the right. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.

7. Click Apply at the bottom of the page.

Kula shows Applied to job successfully and takes you to the Your applications tab, where the new application appears at the top.

What changes after you apply

The job stays on the board with an Applied tag. It isn't hidden. The job title can't be clicked, and the row no longer shows an Apply button.

You can apply to each job once. If you open a job you've already applied to, for example from a saved link, Kula shows You've already applied to this job with a link to View your applications.

Track your applications

The Your applications tab lists every job you've applied to, with a status that updates as the hiring team moves your application forward.

What each status means

You see the status only. Stage names, interview feedback and hiring team notes are not shown on this tab.

How internal applications show for the hiring team

• Internal applications have the source Internal Job Board.

• The candidate pipeline shows an Internal applicant indicator, so recruiters can tell at a glance that the applicant is an employee.

• You never see your own application in the hiring pipeline or candidate lists. This applies even if you're a recruiter or admin on that job.

Internal vs. external application forms

• By default, internal applicants fill out the same application form as external candidates.

• Some accounts can configure a separate, dedicated internal application form instead — useful if you want a different set of questions for employees. When a separate internal form is used, note that knockout rules only apply to external applicants, not internal ones.

Good to know

• Your application is linked to your Kula account, not to the email you type. It appears in Your applications even if you enter a personal email on the form, and your work email is added to your candidate profile.

• Apply is for your own application only. If you enter someone else's details on the Apply form, the application is still recorded against you. To put forward someone else, use Referrals.

• Refer-only jobs can't be applied to. They don't appear on the board. If an employee opens one from a direct link, Kula shows This job is not open for internal applications.

• If the job sends an application confirmation email, internal applicants get it too.

• There are no automatic notifications for new internal postings. Announce new roles through your usual internal channels.

• Referral bonuses are not shown on internal postings.

• You can download a report of which jobs are on the internal job board. Go to Settings → Privacy, Compliance & Security → Data export, export Jobs, and include the Where is this job posted column. It shows each job as Internal job board (Apply only), (Refer only) or (Apply and refer)

• To limit the board to certain openings, turn the internal job board off job by job. There is no bulk option.

• This module replaced the Referrals-based internal hiring workflow in June 2026.
