Career Portal System Settings
The Career Portal is the public-facing job board where candidates can search for and apply to open positions. This article outlines the configuration options available to tailor the appearance and behavior of the portal to meet your business needs.
These are legacy settings and are not applicable to the Job Search & Apply for Talent Platform.
Core Settings
Disable Job Board
This is a legacy system setting. This configuration should be disabled for all clients. This whole section should be disabled for all clients
Map to/Key
disable_job_board
What it Does
Disables access to your job board entirely. When enabled, the job board is hidden, and candidates will no longer be able to view or apply to posted jobs.
Recommended For
Organizations that do not want to display jobs publicly or are managing applications through other channels.
Many other configuration options related to job board visibility depend on this setting being disabled (i.e., the job board is active).
Indeed Feed Integration
Map to/Key
indeed_feed_include
What it Does
Automatically sends your publicly posted jobs to Indeed. When a candidate clicks on a job from Indeed, they are directed to register and apply through your Career Portal.
Recommended For
Increasing exposure for your open jobs through external job boards.
No additional setup required: Once enabled, the feed is automatic.
Hide Job Type

Header Script Key: job_header_script
