Configure the Allow Candidates and Job Application Sourcing from External Job Boards Client Property

The Allow Candidates and Job Application Sourcing from External Job Boards client property is used to enable access to Candidates and Job Application Sourcing RESTful requests.

These requests require basic authentication: that is, a user account with role feature access to HCM Anywhere > Web Services > Patch/Post Candidate Sourcing and Job Application Sourcing in the Features tab of System Admin > Roles.

The Candidates and Job Application Sourcing API includes the following RESTful endpoints:

Candidates and Job Application Sourcing API endpoints

Endpoint	Description
GET Job Postings	Used to share career site postings in Dayforce with external job boards. Job board providers use this endpoint to obtain job posting data.
GET Job Posting Questionnaires	Used to retrieve questionnaire questions for a particular job posting. Note that candidate data can be sent with or without the responses to these questionnaires. The response body of a call to GET Job Postings includes the field QuestionnairesURL for each job posting. This field contains the URL required to use the GET Job Posting Questionnaires endpoint for a particular job posting.
POST Candidate and Job Application Sourcing	Used to send candidate data and applications. Note that the response body of a call to GET Job Postings includes the field CandidateApplicationPostUrl. This is the general URL used for all POST Candidate Sourcing requests. Candidate data can be submitted via this POST endpoint with or without specifying a job posting. If no job posting is specified in the request body, the candidate data will be imported into Dayforce for later use and a candidate profile will be created for the candidate.
GET Candidate Application Statuses	Used to retrieve status updates for submitted applications.

For more information about using these API endpoints, See RESTful Add Candidate Profile and Application Data in the Dayforce Web Services Introduction Guide.
