These are the basic instructions to create the Career Page code. After retrieving the code, it will need to be placed on your website. Once that has been completed, any changes to your Job Feed can be managed through the Applicant Tracking System with no changes needing to be made on your website.

What Is It?

Your Career Page code is a javascript snippet that is added to your website such as your career/open positions page. Once created and inserted onto your website, active jobs will display, and closed jobs will be removed from your site based on your Applicant Tracking System. 

Once the Career Page Code is placed on your website you can make all modifications through your Applicant Tracking System. You will no longer have to work with the website designer for these modifications.

The top advantages of using the Career Page Code on your website:

1. National Labor Exchange. Our partners will push your jobs to the National Labor Exchange and the State Workforce Agency for the state the job is listed in.
2. Job seeker experience. Studies are showing that job seekers are researching companies prior to applying. Listing current job openings on your website allow the job seeker to easily apply after their research.
3. SEO (search engine optimization). This will increase your visibility within the search engines as people look for your organization and more importantly, work for/with your organization.
4. Increased visibility. This leads to more job candidates!

Sending the Career Page Code to your Website Administrator

Sending the Career Page Code to your Website Administrator will only need to be done once. 

1. Select and copy all green text/code. This is the script your website designer needs to place on the page of your website you want the jobs to appear.
   • Tip for the web designer. Place this between the head tags on the careers/jobs page of your site (whatever page you are using to display openings within your organization).
   • Tip for the web designer. Placement between the head tags may be difficult on a Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, or other Content Management System. We suggest placing it in the Source View (content area) of the appropriate page (career/job page).
   •  A video on placement for WordPress is provided here.
     
     
2. Paste the code into an email or text document to send to your web designer.
3. Select and copy the <div id=“YOURINFO” ></div >. This is in gray text near the bottom of the page.
   
4. Paste the code into an email or text document to send to your web designer.
   • This needs to be placed within the body tags of your site where you want the Career Page Code to display on the page.
   • For example, if images or videos are displayed at the top of your webpage, typically you will want to place the Career Page Code below any videos, text, or general company information. The div tag needs to be placed below the videos, text, or general company information in your source view of that page.
5. Send the email/text document to your Web Designer so they can put both the <script> from step 1 and the <div> from step 3 onto your website.

Job Feed Configuration/Layout

Once your Career Page Code has been placed on your website, any configurations can now be made through your ATS.

1. Set your preferences for your Job Feed.
   • See Job Feed Configuration Options for more information on your configuration options.
2. Click Save Changes when finished.
3. View your website to see your configurations.
4. Repeat Configuration Steps to make modifications.
   • To place the Job Feed on a different spot on your webpage, ask your Website Administrator to move the div tag.
