CareerPlug automatically distributes your job postings to many frequently-used job boards, such as Indeed and ZipRecruiter. However, you can also add your own custom source and apply it to all of your existing and new jobs. For example, you might like to know how many of your applicants come from a local college's job board to which you often post.
Creating a custom source for this external job board will create a link that you can use to share your job posting and track which applicants come from this source.
In this article:
Creating a new custom source
Navigate to Settings > Hiring Tools > Custom Sources.
Click the plus icon (+) to create a new source.
Enter the title of the source (for example: "University of Texas Job Board", "Austin, TX Jobs Facebook Group", etc).
By default, adding a custom source will generate a unique link per job. If you prefer the link generated to link to your Careers Page rather than an individual job, turn on the This is a Careers Page source toggle.
Save the source.
Sharing your job to a custom source
On the Jobs page, locate a job you'd like to post to an external job board. Click the Share button.
In the drawer that opens, select the Manual Sources tab. Then click the Share button next to the custom source you just added.
You can click Copy link to copy just the special link for applicants to apply and be tracked as applying from that source. Or, you can click Copy link with description. This copies the job description and the special link to apply.
Next, navigate to your external job posting website. For example, locate a local university and follow their instructions for posting a job.
Click Copy link in CareerPlug, and make sure to instruct applicants to apply using that unique link from CareerPlug that you just copied. That way, your applications for these jobs posted outside of CareerPlug will all still end up in your CareerPlug system.
