Posting to job boards

Use the public Career URL so candidates apply on your careers site. Applications land in Plural. Indeed and ZipRecruiter do not show this option on every account. You must ask each site to turn it on.

Before you start

• You must be signed in.
• These plans include this feature: Hire, Hire + Retain, and Enterprise.
• These roles can post a Career to a job board: Owner, Administrator, Hiring Manager, and Office Administrator.
• Copy the public Career URL. See Sharing careers.
• The Career must be shown on the public careers site and open for applications. See Managing career settings.
• The URL must open the Career page. That page has the job description and a way to apply.

Get the public URL

1. Open Hire, then open Careers.
2. Select the Career title.
3. Select Settings. Confirm that Publish is open.
4. In Share your career listing, select Copy link.

Use this URL in Indeed and ZipRecruiter. Do not use a generic homepage if the job board asks for an application URL.

Indeed

Indeed calls this Apply URL. Sign in to your Indeed employer account. Ask Indeed to enable Apply URL. Give a business reason, such as: you use Plural as your applicant tracking system, and candidates must apply on your careers site.

After Indeed enables Apply URL:

1. Post or edit a job on Indeed.
2. Turn off Receive applications on Indeed.
3. Paste your Plural Career URL.
4. If Indeed sent a tracking code, paste it into Careers Page Tracking. See Tracking snippets.

Indeed help: Using Apply URL, Contacting Indeed.

ZipRecruiter

ZipRecruiter calls this Custom Apply URL. You need a Pro plan. Ask ZipRecruiter Sales to add Custom Apply URL.

After ZipRecruiter enables it:

1. Open Jobs, then Edit Job.
2. Under Send New Candidates To, select A Custom Apply URL.
3. Paste your Plural Career URL. Select Save Changes.

ZipRecruiter help: Send candidates to your ATS.

When applications arrive, review who applied.
