If you want to create your own career site with job ads while still using our application form and ATS, we support redirecting visitors back to your site via a "301 Redirect".

Definitions for recurring attributes in this article:

yourcompanyname.com/careers = The URL of the career site hosted by you

yourteamtailor.domain.com = The URL of the Teamtailor-hosted career site

/something-written-in-lowercase = Consistent logic on how we create URLs which you should follow

[SOMETHING-WRITTEN-WITH-CAPITAL-LETTERS] = will vary depending on the job or page

Information we need from you

  • The URL to the career site you are using, for eg: yourcompanyname.com/careers/

Please note that your URL needs to end with a trailing slash.

Actions you need to take

1. Follow the logic of our URL structure for the pages you would like to redirect:

a) The jobs list page ex.

yourcompanyname.com/careers/jobs

b) The job ad ex.

yourcompanyname.com/careers/jobs/[JOBID-JOBTITLE]

In case you would like candidates to find to your Locations & Departments:

c) Locations:

  • Overall Locations page ex.

yourcompanyname.com/careers/locations
  • Unique Locations ex.

yourcompanyname.com/careers/locations/[LOCATIONNAME]

d) Departments

  • Overall Departments page ex.

yourcompanyname.com/careers/departments
  • Unique Departments ex.

yourcompanyname.com/careers/departments/[DEPARTMENTNAME]

e) People

  • Overall People page ex.

yourcompanyname.com/careers/people

2. Get the application URL

You have two options for getting visitors to the application form. Either link to the form hosted on the Teamtailor career site, or display it on your site embedded in an iframe. The application URL can be fetched in two ways:

a) by using an API call, and read the attribute:

link:       careersite-job-apply-url
iframe src: careersite-job-apply-iframe-url

b) or create it manually ex.

link:       yourteamtailor.domain.com/jobs/[JOBID-JOBTITLE]/applications/new
iframe src: yourteamtailor.domain.com/jobs/[JOBID-JOBTITLE]/applications/new?iframe=true

3. Link to pages that will stay on the Teamtailor-hosted career site

a) Data & Privacy page (yourteamtailor.domain.com/data-privacy)

b) Connect (yourteamtailor.domain.com/connect)

c) Candidate login (yourteamtailor.domain.com/connect/login)

Other pages that will stay on our domain:

  • Internal jobs

  • Unlisted jobs

  • Employee login

  • NPS surveys

  • Surveys

  • EEO reports

4. Include UTM tags for sources

In order to get accurate data regarding how candidates find your job ads, you can include the source UTM tag when generating links to the application form. The source will then be used in our Analytics reports. Example:

yourteamtailor.domain.com/jobs/[JOBID-JOBTITLE]/applications/new?utm_source=[JOB BOARD A] 

5. Deactivate unsupported 'Always Included Channels'

When publishing a job ad through Teamtailor, some job boards automatically receive your postings. However, Google Jobs Job Posting is not supported when using the redirect setup. To disable it, navigate to Settings → Integrations → Marketplace Activations → Google Jobs Job Posting

If you have any further questions reach out to our Support team in our chat or at support@teamtailor.com.
