# Website hosting for recruiting teams sharing the next step\
\
Publish a job page, hiring pack, offer guide or onboarding resource as one browser link. Send the address once, update the document behind it, and use a password or expiry when the audience is limited.\
\
## What recruiting teams actually send\
\
Website hosting for recruiting teams gives candidate-facing pages and documents a stable browser address. It works for approved static material that should be easy to open, forward and update, while the ATS and HR systems keep responsibility for applications and personal data.\
\
A recruiting process produces more shareable material than the job description. Candidates receive interview guides, team context, role scorecards, offer explanations and onboarding schedules. A resume link solves the same problem from the candidate side, while a PDF link works for a hiring pack that should keep its layout and open without a drive permission screen.\
\
The access model should follow the material. A public job page is meant to travel. An interview guide may be fine behind a private address. An offer or internal onboarding document may need an approved HR system rather than static hosting at all. Password protection and expiry are useful controls, but they do not change the classification of sensitive personal or employment records.\
\
- **Job page.** The role, team, location, expectations and application route presented at a direct public address.\
- **Hiring pack.** A PDF or page that gives candidates the company context, process, benefits and practical details.\
- **Interview guide.** The schedule, participants, preparation and call links for a specific stage.\
- **Offer guide.** A plain-language companion to the formal offer, with the role context and next steps.\
- **Onboarding page.** The first-week schedule, links, reading and contact points for a new colleague.\
- **Recruiting portfolio.** Employer-brand material, team stories and role families collected for repeated candidate conversations.\
\
## Candidate communication around the system of record\
\
The ATS owns the application. These are the static pages and documents that help a person understand what happens before and after it.\
\
- **Recruiters.** Publish a role or hiring pack and pair it with the resume-link guidance candidates can use.\
- **People teams.** Share an approved handbook excerpt or onboarding guide through PDF to link.\
- **Employer-brand teams.** Review a finished careers page through a browser preview before it moves to the main site.\
- **Hiring managers.** Turn approved role HTML into a link with HTML to URL, without editing the production site.\
\
## What you get\
\
### A candidate opens the material, not the storage system\
\
The hosted address presents the finished page or document directly. That removes a permission step from public candidate communication and gives forwarded links a clear destination.\
\
- HTML pages, built static sites, PDFs and office documents are accepted formats.\
- The link uses HTTPS and opens in a browser on phone or desktop.\
- A custom domain becomes available on Pro for branded recruiting material.\
\
### The current process stays at the sent address\
\
Interview steps and role details change while outreach is already in motion. Re-publishing behind the same URL means the original message can remain the useful reference.\
\
- The public address stays fixed across deployments.\
- The free plan allows up to 25 publishes a day.\
- Rollback begins on Pro if an older approved version has to return.\
\
### Access controls for limited material\
\
Not every hiring artifact belongs on an unrestricted public page. Use the available controls for ordinary limited-access material, and keep regulated or sensitive records in the approved HR system.\
\
- Password protection starts on Starter.\
- Expiring links start on Starter.\
- The deploy-time security check runs on every plan and warns about common exposed secrets.\
\
### Separate presentation from personal data\
\
A static page is well suited to approved information that is the same for every reader. It is not a candidate database, identity system or confidential document vault.\
\
- Keep applications and candidate profiles in the ATS.\
- Use document hosting for approved general material, not personnel records.\
- Use static hosting for careers content that has no server-side workflow.\
\
## What the free plan includes\
\
The free plan can host one public role page, hiring pack or general onboarding resource without a card.\
\
- 1 live site on a real free plan, not a trial of a paid one, and no card to start.\
- Up to 25 MB per upload and 25 MB of storage across the account.\
- 5,000 visits and 5 GB of traffic a month.\
- HTTPS with a real certificate, issued and renewed for you.\
- Up to 25 publishes a day, so you can iterate without asking permission.\
- The deploy-time security check, which reads what you published and warns about a stray .env file, a .git folder, a private key or an API key left in your JavaScript.\
- A small Droply badge in the corner of the page. Removing it starts on Starter.\
- Free sites are served noindex, so search engines do not list them. Search visibility starts on Starter.\
- The address remains stable while role details, interview instructions or onboarding links are corrected.\
\
## Use an attachment when the file itself is the handoff\
\
Email is the right place for a formal file that belongs in one named conversation. A hosted page is the better reference for candidate-facing information that changes, gets forwarded or needs to open the same way outside that thread.\
\
- **Candidate experience.** Droply: The address opens the page or document in a browser. Email attachment: The file remains attached to a message and may open in a mail or document viewer.\
- **Correction after sending.** Droply: Re-publish at the same address. Email attachment: Send a follow-up attachment and identify the current version.\
- **Forwarding.** Droply: The forwarded URL still points to the current deployment. Email attachment: The forwarded message carries the version that was attached at that time.\
- **Size.** Droply: The upload limit comes from the plan; free is 25 MB. Email attachment: Personal Gmail accounts allow 25 MB total before replacing the attachment with a Drive link.\
- **Access gate.** Droply: Password protection starts on Starter; expiry starts on Starter. Email attachment: Access follows the message and mail provider; it is not a shared site password.\
- **Best fit.** Droply: General candidate information and resources that need a current reference link. Email attachment: A formal or editable file sent to one named recipient and kept in the message record.\
\
Email rows checked 8 September 2026 against Google's Gmail attachment guide, which documents the 25 MB personal-account limit and Drive-link fallback. Mail-provider limits differ and can change.\
\
## When Droply is the wrong choice\
\
Keep systems of record and sensitive employment material in the approved recruiting and HR tools. Static hosting is for presentation and distribution of approved files, not for collecting or governing candidate data.\
\
- You need an application form, interview scorecards, candidate status, consent records or automated recruiting workflows. Use the ATS.\
- The file contains identification, bank details, health information, background checks or confidential personnel records. Use the authorized secure system.\
- Several people need to edit and comment on the source document. Keep it in the collaboration tool and publish only the approved candidate-facing version.\
- You need a database, a login system, or code that runs on the server. Droply serves files; it does not execute your application.\
- You want a build to run on every push to a repository. Droply has no Git integration and no CI: you build locally and upload the result.\
- You are running WordPress or another PHP application. A static export of it can be hosted here, but the application itself cannot.\

## Frequently asked questions\
\
### Can I publish a job description as a web page?

Yes. Upload static HTML or a built ZIP, or use HTML to URL when you have approved markup. Link the application button to the ATS rather than trying to collect applications in a static page.

### Can a hiring pack be a direct PDF link?

Yes. The PDF to link flow publishes the document at an HTTPS address that opens in a browser and can keep the same URL after the PDF is replaced.

### Can I update interview instructions after sending them?

Yes. Publish the replacement behind the same site address. Candidates who reopen the original message see the current version instead of the file attached at send time.

### Can a recruiting page be password protected?

Yes, from Starter. Use it for ordinary limited-access material, but keep regulated, highly sensitive or candidate-specific records in the authorized ATS or HR system.

### Can an offer guide expire automatically?

Yes, from Starter. An expiry can close a supporting page after a date, but the formal offer and acceptance record should remain in the system responsible for them.

### Can I use a careers subdomain or custom domain?

A Droply subdomain comes with every site. Custom domains start on Pro, with ownership verification and automatic HTTPS certificate management.

### Will a free job page appear in Google?

No. Free sites are noindex. Search indexing starts on Starter; use the main careers platform when structured job distribution and synchronized search visibility are required.

### Does this replace an ATS?

No. It hosts static pages and files. The ATS should continue to collect applications, record consent, route candidates and control access to personal information.

### Can a candidate host a resume here too?

Yes. The resume to link guide shows how to publish a PDF or HTML resume at an address that can be updated without resending it.

### What does the security check do for a hiring page?

It warns about published .env files, .git folders, private-key material and API-key patterns. It does not classify candidate data, so the team remains responsible for keeping personal records out of the upload.\
