How can I Integrate a job site within Jobtoolz?

You can use Jobtoolz in many different ways in combination with your own site. This article provides a handy overview of all the possibilities.

1) Using the job site via Jobtoolz

By using this option, your own careers site will be replaced. On your own website, you can link to the Jobtoolz site behind a button like "Jobs" or "Vacancies." Of course, you can also design your Jobtoolz site in your own corporate style. More information on that can be found in these help articles.

Redirecting from your own site to the Jobtoolz site takes about 5 minutes. You can also set up a customized URL for your job site simultaneously. All necessary information for your internal IT or website manager can be found in this help article.

An example of this option is Cardohotels. Clicking on "Careers" at the bottom of the page takes you to the corresponding Jobtoolz site.

2) Maintain the existing careers page and only refer to the jobs on the Jobtoolz site.

This way, you keep a part of your own current careers page but link the job openings to us. Instead of listing the vacancies, you place a large button saying 'view all vacancies', which links to the Jobtoolz job site where you only post the vacancies.

A good example of this is Mister Spaghetti. On their own site, after clicking the 'Jobs' button, there is another button to view all vacancies. This then takes you to the Jobtoolz site with the job overview.Schermafbeelding 2022-06-02 om 11.01.44

3) Maintain the existing website, and manually link each job opening to the Jobtoolz application form.

With this option, you also keep your own current careers page, only the application process will be slightly different.

For your job openings, you place a 'apply' button in each case, linking it to the URL of the Jobtoolz application form.

Keep in mind that in addition to adding the job opening in Jobtoolz, you also need to add it to your own site. After adding it to your own site, you can then place the Jobtoolz application form behind the 'apply' button. The advantage here is that you can create a custom application form for each job within Jobtoolz.

As an example, you can look at the Standaard Boekhandel site. When you click on a job opening on their own site and then click 'Apply', you are redirected to a Jobtoolz form."

4) Link your existing careers page to Jobtoolz via API

In this case, your existing careers site will look exactly the same, and the application process for candidates will remain unchanged. With an API, you connect your own website to Jobtoolz. Thanks to this integration between both systems, you’ll be able to create, complete, and publish a job posting directly within Jobtoolz. It will then automatically appear on your own careers site. When candidates apply there, their applications will be sent directly to Jobtoolz.

To set up an API connection, you’ll need the help of your IT team or website developer. They can build the integration using our API documentation. Based on this documentation, they can estimate the time and cost required. On average, this takes a few days of work.

An example of a Jobtoolz user who applies our API is Renmans. On their careers page, you can find all the vacancies that were first created and published in Jobtoolz. The application form is also integrated within their own website. Once applications are submitted, they flow directly into Jobtoolz to be managed within our ATS.

In addition to a full API integration, you can also choose to link only the job posting and/or the application form to Jobtoolz. This is also done automatically but can save your web developer some time. Examples of this approach are Vanden Broele and Anima.
