Addresses and your website

Open Career site › Address and website. Admins can change it; everyone else can look.

Your own domain is in the Growth and Enterprise plans. See Plans and the trial.

Hosted career pages

Every organisation gets career pages hosted by Careers Orbit. Address is where they live, for example /careers/jobs/northwilds: 2 to 60 lower-case letters, numbers and hyphens. Changing it breaks links you have shared, and Google has to find your jobs again, so pick one you can keep. Open career pages at the top shows them in a new tab.

Your website

If your jobs live on your own website, such as northwilds.com:

1. Set Website to your main address. It is linked from each job's data for Google for Jobs.
2. Set Job addresses to where each job page lives, with {slug} for the job. Use {locale} for the language code, or {localePrefix} when your main language has no prefix: https://northwilds.com{localePrefix}/careers/{slug}/ gives /careers/mountain-guide-lofoten/ in English and /de/careers/mountain-guide-lofoten/ in German.
3. Optionally list Allowed websites, such as northwilds.com. Then only those can call the delivery API from a browser; calls from servers always work. With none listed, any website can show your jobs with a public key.

Leave Job addresses empty to keep job links on your hosted pages. Choose Save changes when you are done.

Job links in the API, the JobPosting data, the sitemap and candidates' emails all follow the pattern. To refresh your job pages as soon as a job changes, set the website webhook.

Your own address

Career pages can also live on an address of your own, such as jobs.northwilds.com. Use a subdomain: the domain itself usually already points at your website.

1. Under Your own address, enter the address and select Add address. The status shows Waiting for DNS.
2. Add the records shown in the table where your domain's DNS is managed. Each has a copy button:
   • a CNAME record from jobs.northwilds.com to jobs.bifrostorbit.com, which sends visitors to your career pages and is enough on its own to prove the domain is yours;
   • optionally a TXT record on _careers-orbit.jobs.northwilds.com, which proves the domain is yours while the address still points somewhere else.
3. Select Check now. DNS changes can take from a few minutes to a few hours; Careers Orbit also checks every 10 minutes on its own.

Once the record is found, the status may show Waiting for the certificate for a few minutes. When the address is ready, it shows Live and an Open button and everything uses it: links on the career pages, job addresses in the API, the sitemap, the JobPosting data Google for Jobs reads, and links in candidates' emails. A certificate is issued for it, so it opens over https. The Orbit address keeps working, and its pages name the new address as the main one, so search engines move over.

If your DNS is at Cloudflare, set the CNAME record to DNS only, not proxied.

An organisation has one own address at a time, and an address can belong to only one organisation. Addresses on bifrostorbit.com and bare domains such as northwilds.com are not accepted.

Remove then Remove address puts your career pages back on the Orbit address. Links to your own address stop working and Google has to find your jobs again, so remove the DNS records only afterwards.

If you set Job addresses to pages on your own website, job links keep pointing there; your own address then serves the job list, the candidate account and the privacy notice.
