How to Share Your Job Openings on Any Job Board
Trakstar Hire makes it easy to distribute your job openings across multiple job boards, helping you reach more candidates while keeping all applications and candidate sources organized in one place.
You can publish jobs using Trakstar Hire's built-in job board integrations or share openings on virtually any external job board using a custom application link or email address.
Benefits of Posting Through Trakstar Hire
Posting jobs through Trakstar Hire allows you to:
- Publish openings with minimal effort.
- Track candidates by their application source.
- Manage applications from multiple job boards in one system.
- Reduce duplicate work when advertising open positions.
Manage Job Board Postings
To manage job board distribution for an opening:
- Navigate to Openings.
- Select the opening you want to manage.
- Open the Candidate Sources tab.
- In the Job Boards section, click Manage.
- Choose the job boards where you want to publish the opening.
Before enabling job board posting, make sure your company email address is configured in your Company Profile.
Built-In Job Board Integrations
Trakstar Hire supports both free and paid job board integrations.
Paid Job Boards
Supported paid integrations include:
- ZipRecruiter
- Snagajob
- iimjobs (India)
Some paid job boards may require additional account information or payment during setup.
Free Job Boards
Supported free job boards include:
- Indeed + Glassdoor
- Adzuna (Australia)
- Zoek (United Kingdom)
Super Admins can enable or disable free job board distribution from:
Settings > Job Boards & Publishing > Job Posts Settings
Once enabled, published openings are automatically sent to the selected job boards.
Paid vs. Free Job Board Posting
Both options help distribute your jobs, but they work differently:
- Paid postings increase visibility through sponsored placement on participating job boards.
- Free postings publish your jobs without sponsorship and at no additional advertising cost.
Share Jobs on Any External Job Board
If a job board isn't included in Trakstar Hire's built-in integrations, you can still track applicants by creating a custom job board.
To add a custom job board:
- Open the Candidate Sources page for your opening.
- Select the Custom Job Boards tab.
- Click Add a Job Board.
- Enter the job board information.
Trakstar Hire generates a unique application link for that specific job board.
Share a Trackable Application Link
Many external job boards allow you to include a URL that directs candidates to your application.
Using the generated application link allows candidates to:
- Apply directly through Trakstar Hire.
- Complete your custom application questions.
- Be tracked automatically as applicants from that job board.
Generate a Unique Application Email Address
If an external job board doesn't support application URLs, you can generate a unique email address for the opening.
Candidates who apply by email:
- Have their resume imported into Trakstar Hire.
- Are tracked as applicants from that job board.
- May receive an automatic response if auto-response emails are enabled and their email address can be identified from the resume.
Because applicants submit only their resume through this method, they do not complete any custom application questions.
How Long Does It Take for Jobs to Appear?
After publishing an opening:
- Free job boards may take up to 48 hours to display the job.
- The first submission to Indeed may require an approval process that can take several additional days.
Timing depends on each job board's processing schedule.
Update Published Jobs
If you edit a published opening:
- Changes to free job board postings are typically reflected within 48 hours.
- For paid postings, some fields, such as the job location, cannot be updated after publication.
Remove a Job from a Job Board
Removal depends on how the job was published:
- Built-in job board integrations: Archive the opening or change its status to Private to stop distribution.
- Custom job boards: Remove the posting manually from the external job board where you originally published it.
