★ Overview

Your careers page is a marketing pitch. It can make an unforgettable first impression in attracting job seekers and converting them to applicants. In short, the careers page is an effective candidate-sourcing method you can rely on.

This article helps you understand:

  1. What are the available approaches for careers page integration in Sense TRM?
  2. What happens if you opt for any of the three integration approaches?
  3. \What are the configuration and other settings available for each of the three approaches?

Sense TRM provides three ways to set up your careers page. 

To name them:

  1. Careers page hosted by Sense TRM

  2. Embed Sense TRM's job board on your website 

  3. API-driven careers page 

★ Approach 1: Careers page hosted by Sense TRM (by default)

Scenario: Your company name is Acme.Inc. When you set up your Sense TRM account,
your career page will be ready at acme-inc.sensehq.com by default. The page can be linked to your website. All the jobs published from Sense TRM will be mapped here, and candidates can apply for jobs.

The careers page URL will be in the format of yourdomainname.skillate.com. Please note that - ‘Sense TRM’ will be displayed as part of the URL.

Further, you can configure your company information, upload company policy, enable Google Analytics, etc., by navigating Sense TRM's Settings> Sourcing Information> Career Page.Learn more.

★ Approach 2: Your Careers Page, Our Job Listing

Scenario: Your company name is Acme Inc., you have designed your careers page, and the
URL says acme-inc.com/careers.
When you embed Sense TRM's iframe on your website, you can list out all the jobs published through Sense TRM on your careers page, i.e., acme-inc.com/careers Suppose a candidate clicks on any of the jobs; the job details will open on the same page and the URL will still show your domain name, not Sense TRM's.
For example, acme-inc.com/careers?jobId=1234 (here, 1234 refers to Job ID) and Sense TRM is not displayed

This is the best solution if you wish to have your careers page appear as part of the company’s website. All you need to do is embed the below iframe code snippet on your website. 

You can find the code snippet from within the product by logging in to your Sense TRM account and navigating to Settings > Sourcing Configuration > Career Page. 


By embedding the iframe: 

  1. Clicking on any listed jobs will open the job details on the same page. Thus, the candidate can apply for a job without leaving the page.
  2. The job listing and job application pages will have your domain address. Sense TRMbranding won’t display on the URL.

Note: Though the overall look and feel of the webpage are in your hands, the Job
Listing and following pages can be configured from Sense TRM.
Log in to Sense TRM using Site Admin privileges and navigate to Settings > Sourcing Information > Career Page.

★ Approach 3: Your Careers Page, Your Job Listing, Our Job Page

Scenario: Your company name is Acme Inc. you have designed your careers page, and
the URL says acme-inc.com/careers. When you use Sense TRM's API-driven career integration, you can list all the jobs published through Sense TRM on your career page, i.e., acme-inc.com/careers. Suppose a candidate clicks on any of the jobs; the job details will open in a new tab with the URL acme-inc.skillate.com/jobs/1234 (here, 1234 refers to Job ID)

If you wish to have your careers page appear per your company’s UI style guide, here is the solution. 

When you use an API-driven careers page, you can have the list of jobs appear on your website. To fetch the list of jobs, all you need to do is - call the API from your backend.

However, clicking on any jobs will open a new page with the Sense TRM name on the URL. Additionally, you can add filters as part of request parameters.

Careers page APIs

Note: The look and feel of the careers page are further customizable from the backend with the help of your developer. However, the job details and job application pages can be configured from Sense TRM.
Log in to Sense TRM using Site Admin privileges and navigate to Settings > Sourcing Information > Career Page.

★ Approach 4: Everything yours, except the 'apply now' form

It is a combination of approaches 2 and 3. That is, you can control the website's look and feel using API and the job application iframe to embed it on the job application page. Hence, the candidates applying for the job need not have to leave the page. It will look like they are applying from your company website itself.
