Overview
Evolve ATS offers several options for career site integrations. The following article provides an overview of these options.
Audience
All users
Hosted Career Site
This is a basic integration that requires minimal work on your side. Evolve ATS will host your career site, and you will change your Careers/Jobs navigation link to point to your Evolve ATS URL. This solution will take the user away from your website.
The career site URL will be jobs.jobvite.com/company-name. This cannot be customized or masked but is SEO-friendly. If you would like to keep your URL, your IT person can apply a basic redirect from your URL to your Evolve ATS career site URL. This way, users will remember your URL, but when they type it into the browser, it will auto-redirect them.
Benefits
- Works right out of the box. Does not require any setup.
- Requires very few internal resources to go live.
- The career site URL is SEO-friendly.
- You can include a link to your CSS stylesheet, and your web developer can override the basic styles at no additional cost.
Drawbacks
Candidates are taken away from the company career site experience and moved to an Evolve ATS-hosted site.
Instructions
Have a button or a link on your company site that points to your career site URL.
iFrame solution
This is an intermediate configuration that requires some technical work on your side. You will be provided with instructions on how to implement the iFrame. The iFrame will go onto your careers page, and the user will go through the entire application process on your website. This solution is not SEO-friendly.
Benefits
- Candidates do not lose out on the company experience. They can browse through your job listings and apply directly on your website.
- You get to keep the company domain name URL.
- Receive unique URLs for each page.
Drawbacks
- It requires setup (Please see iFrame instructions).
- It will not work for all layouts (scroll-heavy sites, hidden tabs, skinny columns).
- It's not SEO-friendly.
- Still dependent on Evolve ATS to make changes inside the iFrame (only with Brand).
Instructions
API Solution
NOTE: There could be an additional fee if it’s not included in your package.
This is an advanced configuration that requires a lot of custom development work on your side. If included in your contract, you will be provided with API keys. You will need to create a database, and your developer will be responsible for extracting your jobs from our database and developing your own job listing and description pages. Since the API is not open 100%, you are still required to use our apply page. The apply page can be integrated into an IFrame or linked directly to it. It is available in JSON format.
Benefits
- Complete control over the listing and job description page.
- Utilize SEO practices.
- Build your own URL structure.
- It doesn't require Evolve engineers to set up job listings and job description pages.
Drawbacks
- Requires development of infrastructure.
- You are still dependent on Evolve ATS for the Apply page (which is how candidates are entered into our system).
- Must build redirect.
- Lose out on the Share widget.
