Title

The first input field is the name of the form to help the web builder identify it when using it.

Options

  • In the Form Options panel, you'll be able to set each field available for a form as Visible or Required. If you set a field as Required, it will also be Visible. The Last Name and Email fields can not be changed, and both are set to be Required.

  • After you set the status of each field as you want, click on the Save button.

  • The edit screen will re-display, with your choices remembered and a new section above the options displaying the shortcode to use if you want to display this form for an open application.

Synchronize with Carerix

The Synchronize with Carerix button checks if fields that use values from the Carerix System are available. For example, if it can not find any values for the Nationality field, that field will be disabled.

Change the form of a specific Source

Connect a form to the 'Source' of regular Vacancy posts as follows:

  • Go to Sources

  • Open the specific Source that you want the new form to use with

  • Scroll down to Publication Details Options

  • Select the new form and Save the Source

Editing and Deleting a Form

  • Every form that you created, except the default Form 1, can be edited or deleted.

  • The edit and delete link appears when you move the mouse pointer over the title of a form.

  • To Edit a Form, click on it's name or on the edit link under its name.

  • To Delete a Form, click on the delete link under its name.

Settings

Extra apply options: Set to no by default. If enabled it generates the Apply with Linkedin link

Address format: International / Dutch. For Dutch each field is split on it's own form field while for International the entire addres can be inserted in one textarea.

Agreement link:

  • Default: no agreement link

  • Insert desired text in the “Agreement Label” and in “Agreement text” fields to generate and display the link.

  • Insert an URL to be associated with the agreement text url. If Agreement URL field is fille,d it takes precedent over the Agreement text.

  • Captcha: choose in which page to display the Captcha code

  • Advanced: Clear Datanodes Cache. If you made a change in the Carerix System to one of the DataNodes used here, you should clean the cache.

Sources

Special jobs: one language website, multiple languages used for publication texts

You have a website entirely in Dutch but you want to display one or more jobs in a different language? By default, you publications will receive all header sections in Dutch. take the following steps in order to have the labels in the correct language.

In Carerix:

  • Create medium with the desired code (Eg: MED) to contain the publications in the default language of the website.

  • Create the publications in this medium with text in the default language of the website.

  • Create medium with code defined at 1. and add to it -lg code (Eg: MED-en, MED-es, MED-de, MED-fr).

  • Create publications in this medium in the extra language that you need to publish

In wp-admin / Carerix / Sources

  • Create new source to generate your jobs page. Eg. Page name: Mixed jobs

  • In the Set Feed Source Parameters section, after the default feed, in the input text insert Eg. for English: medium=MED|Med-en

  • Make the rest of settings and click save.

Result: Page named Mixed Jobs is created. The page will display jobs from the 2 defined mediums. For the posts for which value of parameter medium is found to be code-lg, the resources will be generated in the language code corresponding to lg value. If the lg value is not one of the know values used by CxWp, the default language to be used is the language in which the website is defined.

NOTE: If you do not want to use multilanguage-features, never use a mediumcode containing a dash. The Wordpress plugin will interprete it as a language resulting in English subtitles within your vacancies. So if you want to use a medium to seperate vacancies for your second agency, use a mediumcode like “webagency2” instead of “web-agency2”


Diagnostics (since v3.0.0)

From v3.0.0, the jobs synchronizing process will be fully handled by the REST API. Therefore the CxTools jobs feed has become obsolete. For example, the diagnostics tool (Wordpress Dashboard → Carerix → Settings → Tab Diagnostics) will help you to find possible inconsistencies between published vacancies in your Carerix system and the vacancies that are retrieved by your Wordpress site.

You can review the 'active job publications' but also the available 'medium codes'.

Extra/Additional Carerix fields support (since v3.0.0)

You can find the feature in Carerix Dashboard→Carerix→Settings→ tab Technology previews

In the Carerix system extra/additional fields can be added to Job orders and Publications. The information from these custom fields can be displayed in your vacancies. You can also use it as options in a “vacancy-listing search&filter” widget.

Use case

A nice use case is a “featured/highlighted” vacancy widget to highlight some vacancies. Therefore in Carerix you need to create an additional field called “featured on website” (type single checkbox) and attach it to the “Publications entity”. In Carerix, recruiters can tag preferred publications as “featured on website”. After that, your Wordpress developer can create a “featured vacancies widget” based on a “vacancy post loop” restricted to the custom-field “featured on website”.

Google for Jobs (since v2.15.0)

Google for Jobs is an enhanced search widget that aggregates listings from job boards and vacancy sites and displays them prominently in Google search.

To have your jobs included you need to add “structured job posting data” to your job pages. This information is invisible, so your job pages are still looking the same. When Google is indexing your site, the structured data is recognized and added to Google for Jobs.

Enabling and testing Google for Jobs

  • As an administrator from your Wordpress Dashboard, navigate to Carerix → Settings → Tab 'Google for jobs'

  • Enable 'Google for Jobs support' and click on save changes

  • Navigate to a vacancy information page of your choice at the front-end of your site

  • Copy/paste the URL of the former step in the Google Structured Data testing tool:

  • If everything went well you will see the JobPosting entity is detected. Probably the tool will give some warnings about recommended fields. Currently this information is not available in the CX WP plugin.

Configuring yourself as hiring organization

The hiring organization is also included in Google for Jobs. If you don't mark your jobs as “anonymous”, your client (hiring organization) will be displayed. For jobs marked as anonymous you can put your own organization name as the hiring one. To do this fill in your own company name in the field “Hiring organization”. Optionally you can also add your company logo.

Job Conversion Tracking (since v2.15.0)

The CX WP plugin supports custom code snippets for extended web analytics usage (e.g. Facebook pixel, Google Analytics, etc.)

Custom (javascript) code can be applied to the following webpage sections:

  • General (basicly to all pages)

  • Job description page

  • Job application page

  • Job application confirmation page

Additionally custom information (apply source and apply tags) can be set which will be stored in the “Candidate Match file”.

Configuring custom conversion/tracking code

  • Note: understanding of/some skills in JavaScript is required

  • As an administrator from your Wordpress Dashboard, navigate to Carerix → Settings → Tab 'Conversion tracking'

  • Enter valid javascript code including <script>-tags in the corresponding text-boxes

  • You can access special global variables holding information like publication-ID, vacancy-ID and job title. The available variables names are displayed in the blue information box. Tip: you can also dump this information in your browser debug console by entering console.log(cx); at a vacancy description page.

  • Finally you can use the methods cx.setApplySource() and cx.setApplyTags() to add extra information to the application (retrievable in the Carerix system under 'Matches')

Taxonomies

The plugin is generating Taxonomies for Jobs posts. The current taxonomies and the corresponding Carerix tables are

Jobs:

  • Countries - Country

  • Regions - Region

  • Educations - Education 0

  • Functiongroup - Function 0

  • Functions - Function 1

  • Work locations - Publication work location

In order to use the taxonomies as filters for the 2 types of posts, the names of the taxonomies must be distinct. Otherwise, if common, the values of the taxonomies will be displayed for both type of posts and the user will experience that after sellecting a taxonomy no result will be returned.

Default resources are used to generate the names of the taxonomies. The language applied will follow the language of the plugin.

Define your own values for the taxonomies creating for each languge a different / new value to overwrite the default ones filled from resources.
