External Client Careers Site

The Recruiting module provides your organization with one default external client career site for use on your company website. However, you might use more than one external site if you have various companies or divisions under one umbrella. For example, a large retail organization might require separate client career sites for corporate, field, and distribution center or warehouse jobs. As another example, an accounting or consulting firm might require one client career site for the recruiting of experienced candidates (senior-level managers or partners) and one for college-level candidates (entry-level consultants).

Both the default site and any custom sites include the following features:

  • A unique site URL
  • A job listing page
  • A details page for each job posting, which might include an integrated Google Maps control
  • An online job application process that doesn't require registration
  • The ability for candidates to register and sign in to access additional features.

Candidates can search and apply for jobs on more than one of your organization's external career sites. Not all career sites need to include the same postings. When candidates are on a client career site, they can only access jobs that were specifically posted to that site by a recruiter. Jobs posted to other client sites aren't listed.

See Configure Client Career Sites.

The Candidate Experience

Note the following about the candidate experience on external client sites:

  • One account: Candidates use the same account and login information for all of your external client sites. For example, an organization has separate external career sites for their retail and corporate divisions. When candidates create an account on the retail career site, they can use the same email and password to log in to the corporate career site. This candidate account is also used for client career sites powered by Dayforce used in other organizations.
  • One application: Candidates can apply once to each job requisition. If a job requisition has postings on more than one external client career site, candidates can only apply to one of these postings. For evergreen job postings, candidates might be able to reapply for the job at a later date. See Create Evergreen Postings.
  • Job application source: When external candidates apply for a job on a client site, the source question in the Personal Information section of the job application shows the name of that site. Candidates can select a different source.
  • Cookies: When candidates go to a client career site, the Cookie Preferences dialog box is displayed by default if they haven't yet set these preferences.
  • Supported browsers: When candidates go to a client career site from an unsupported browser, a banner is displayed recommending supported browsers.
  • Footer: Candidates can scroll to the bottom of any page on the client career site to access the privacy policy, cookie preferences, and statement of accessibility. You can use the default Dayforce accessibility statement, or create your own. See Include a Statement of Accessibility on Client Career Sites.
  • Accessibility: Dayforce is committed to providing client career sites that are accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance or ability. To support this commitment, we have adopted the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA as a web accessibility objective. These voluntary guidelines help make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.
