Recruitment Agencies
Posting jobs via Indeed Apply is a paid service. However, the Carerix-Indeed integration ensures that your vacancies appear in the Indeed Employer Portal, where you can choose whether or not to publish them as paid listings ("sponsored jobs").
Corporates
For corporate employers, job postings are forwarded directly to Indeed free of charge.
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 systemCheck 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
IMPORTANT: criteria for Indeed to accept your publications:
each publication contains a correct Job URL (See explanation below)
vacancy contains Country filled in, in the address field
vacancy contains Postal code AND/OR City
publication owner has a valid emailadres
publication startdate is today or in the past
publication enddate is empty or in the future
publication status in not "stopped"
publication is not archived
publication-text does not contain emailadres or phone number
publication-text is not empty
The Carerix-Indeed Apply integration sends the full content of the publication text blocks from Carerix to Indeed. However, the default headings of these blocks (such as Intro, Organization and Department Description, Job Information, etc.) are not included in the data sent to Indeed.
Job URL for Every Publication
One of the criteria Indeed requires is that every publication Carerix sends to Indeed must include a working job URL.
In other words, a link to the actual job page on your own website. Indeed enforces this requirement as part of its quality control process.
There are two ways to add the job URL to every publication:
Automatically, via a triggered script
Manually (not recommended)
Explanation of Option 1: automated, via a triggered script (recommended):
Ask your web developer to make all Carerix publications available via a short URL that redirects to the correct job page. This short URL should include the unique publication ID.
Setting Up the Script:
Go to Settings → Attributes and Fields → Field “jobUrl”
Example:
https://plugin.carerix.com/?pub_id=<cx:write value="$publication.publicationID"/>
Once the script is properly configured, it works as follows:
A recruiter creates a publication, e.g., publication number 2535.
The script ensures that the field on the admin tab is populated.
Carerix sends the publication with the job URL to Indeed, meeting Indeed’s requirement.
On the website, the short URL can redirect to the full URL:
https://plugin.carerix.com/?pub_id=2535 → https://plugin.carerix.com/api-consultant-rotterdam-west/
Useful PHP Code Snippet for the Web Developer:
if (isset($_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: $link"); die(); } }
Explanation of option 2: Manual Solution
This is only scalable if you have a very limited number of active publications on your website. Additionally, you would need to manually add the job URL for each future publication.
If the Above Options Do Not Work: Consider Option 3..
Your web developer can insert the job URL for every (current and future) publication using our API.
This requires additional effort from your developer and is therefore not recommended unless necessary.
How to validate the JobURL field in a new publication
Create publication.
Open publication -> tab "Admin" -> field "JobURL" is filled with an automatically generated link based on the code in the settingsfield "jobUrl"("vacancyUrl").
WordPress Plugin
If your website uses the WordPress Plugin:
The structure of your apply url:
http://www.domainname.com/?pub_id=<cx:write value="$publication.publicationID"/>
Frequently Asked Questions (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.
