How to make use of Indeed Apply integration

  • At Marketplace in left menu in Carerix (you need Carerix Admin rights) -> Make sure that Marketplace feature " Indeed Apply" is set to ACTIVATED
    ​By default this option will be activated and visible in your system

  • Check your Mediums - Indeed Apply section

    By default, any medium with code 'web' will be checked. So all active publications to this medium, will automatically be send to Indeed

  • Make sure your publication have a correct Job url. See explanation below

IMPORTANT: criteria for Indeed to publish your publications:

  1. publication contains a correct Job URL

  2. vacancy contains Country filled in, in the address field

  3. vacancy contains Postal code AND/OR City

  4. publication owner has a valid emailadres​

  5. publication startdate is today or in the past

  6. publication enddate is empty or in the future

  7. publication status in not "stopped"

  8. publication is not archived
    Also note that the vacancy status is ignored.


Job URL setting for generating the Job url

  • See Settings -> Attributes and fields -> field "jobUrl" (or "vacancyURL")

  • This settings-field "JobUrl" will generate a proper link to each new publication on your website.

  • If the setting-field is empty, Carerix wasn't able to find the proper structure of your website. In this case, there are 4 solutions:

Option 1. (strongly recommended)

  • Ask your web-builder to make all Carerix publications available on a short URL which will redirect to the correct vacancy page, if a query parameter is present in the URL.

  • For example: visiting https://vacancies.mydomain.com/?publication_id=<carerix publication ID> will redirect to the correct vacancy page.

    Following PHP code snippet might be useful to your web-builder when creating a redirect: ​

    if (isset($_GET['pub_id'])){ $get_vars = $_GET; unset($get_vars['pub_id']); $new_query_string = http_build_query($get_vars); $new_query_string = strlen($new_query_string) ? ("?" . $new_query_string) : ""; $pub_id = (int) $_GET['pub_id']; $gotSomething = false; // Do lookup for publication and set gotSomething to true if a publication for pub_id was found if ($gotSomething) { $link = ''; // Create your link URL here header("Location: $link"); die(); } }

Option 2.

Add the correct structure as a whole into the JobURL setting field. This could be quite complex coding, because of cxscripting and management of special characters!

Option 3.
Manually add the Vacancy link to each active publication.
Ofcourse this is only feasible when you have limited amount of active publications on your website. And, you'll need to manually add vacancy url for each future publication..

Option 4.
Your web developer insert the accurate vacancy URL for each publication through our API. This will involve additional effort for your web developer and, as a result, we do not recommend.

How to validate the JobURL field in a new publication

  1. Create publication.

  2. Open publication -> tab "Admin" -> field "JobURL" is filled with an automatically generated link based on the code in the settingsfield "jobUrl"("vacancyUrl").


WordPress Plugin

If your website uses the WordPress Plugin:
The structure of your apply url:

http://www.domainname.com/?pub_id=<cx:write value="$publication.publicationID"/>

FAQ

Q: Setting Job url field is empty

A: Ask your web-builder for the correct structure of your apply url.

Q: Whats the difference between Apply Url and Job Url
A: The Apply url points to your webpage which shows the Apply form.
For many customers the apply form is integrated in the job page. In that case, the ApplyUrl is the same as the JobUrl.

Q: I received the correct Job url setting. Now I want to update the Apply url field in all publications. Can I do this in bulk?

A: There's no option to do this in bulk, from the Carerix interface.
Please send a request to your Customer Succes Manager, that includes the correct JobUrl setting.
