When you set up a job in Workable, a custom shortlink will be created for it. This link can be used to post to any board and direct candidates to your recruiting pipeline for that job in Workable. To locate the shortlink of a job:
- Locate the related job on the Jobs page
- Click Find Candidates next to job status
- Scroll down on the page and locate the 'Job Shortlink' tile
- Copy the shortlink by clicking on Copy to clipboard and use it wherever needed
This link can be used in the following ways:
- Copy and paste the link to share on social and professional networks or with contacts via email.
- Insert the link into job posts you create on any job board outside Workable. Either paste it into the job description text or in the separate field some boards provide specifically for directing candidates to an external website to apply.
The job shortlink tracks the source of the candidate's application. When someone applies to the job from a website where the job shortlink was used, this website will be displayed as that candidate's source in their profile or your Candidate sources report.
Note: The job shortlink links to this specific published position on your Workable careers page. When you unpublish the job the link is automatically deactivated.
