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).

  • Enable only what you need. Custom JavaScript and external feeds can create complexity, consult your Bullhorn representative before enabling.

  • Test candidate experience. Review changes in a staging environment when possible.

  • Combine settings thoughtfully. For example, hiding pay and start dates may impact candidate expectations—make sure this aligns with your recruitment strategy.
