The application URL or apply URL is provided to the job posting sites. It's important to have a functioning application link because otherwise interested candidates will not be able to apply. An application URL in the context of Carerix is a specific web address (URL) where someone can apply.
Characteristics of an Application Link
Specific and Directed: An application link leads directly to the application form, saving the user from wasting time searching for the right page.
Unique Identification: Some application URLs contain unique parameters to identify the source of the application (e.g., a specific job posting or promotional campaign).
Security and Privacy: Since the application URL directs to the application page where personal information is filled in, it is secured (e.g., via HTTPS) to protect the applicant's data.
Example of an Application Link
For instance, if a company called "Tech Innovators" is looking for a software developer and posts a job opening, the application URL for this position might look like this:
https://www.techinnovators.com/careers/apply?jobid=12345
When a candidate clicks on this URL, they are taken directly to the application page for the software developer position, where they can submit their application.
Where to Find the Application Link in Carerix?
Go to 'Files' | 'Publications'
Open a Publication
Go to the 'Admin tab', see the field "Apply URL"
Where is the Application Link Published?
The application link is provided along with other publication details to the job board or any other channel where the job is advertised.
⚠️ Note: It is important to set the application link correctly to prevent candidates from being unable to access your application form from an external website or job board, which could lead to missing out on valuable applications and candidates.
How to configure the Apply URL
The applyUrl setting allows you to specify a default value for new Publications. Each new publication then automatically includes the correct application URL, which adjusts based on the vacancy and publication.
To ensure that candidates arriving from a publication on a job board land on the correct page on your website, it is crucial that the web developer properly configures the job and application pages on the website.
To adjust the default value of the application link, navigate to:
'Maintenance' | 'Settings'
Block 'Attributes and fields', field "applyUrl"
💡Note: By default the applyURL setting in Carerix is empty since its value completely depends on the specific customer's website/domain name.
Own Website via API Connection
If you use a connection made by a web developer between Carerix and your website based on the Carerix GraphQL API or REST API, you have the freedom to configure the application link as desired.
The applyUrl setting might be adjusted as follows:
https://www.example.com/joborder/<cx:write value="$publication.publicationID"/>/<cx:write value="$publication.titleInformation.urlEncodedString"/>.html
The application link based on the previous applyUrl setting might look like this:
https://www.example.com/joborder/123/Account-manager.html
⚠️ Note: When using a connection via the Carerix API, the most important thing is that the website is set up so that an application link lands on the correct page. Coordinate the structure of the application link well with the web developer.
WordPress Plugin
If your website uses the Carerix WordPress plugin to publish your job openings and process applicants, the application link should be structured as follows:
https://www.example.com/?pub_id=<cx:write value="$publication.publicationID"/>
⚠️ Note: For the correct functioning of your website in combination with the Carerix WordPress plugin, the format for the application link as shown above should be used, where www.example.com should be replaced with the web address of the respective website.
