Widget Creation and Sharing

The Widgets feature provides administrators the ability to embed certain Sourcing functionality (such as job searches or job alert signups) on other websites.

The main purpose of creating and deploying Sourcing widgets on other sites is to attract users back to the host Sourcing site. The following widget templates are available:

Search Result (Job Listing)
Search Bar
Sign Up for Job Alerts

Note: Widget creation only works off of the default site.

Widget Creation

Functionality to create and manage widgets is in the Configuration area, under Widgets. The section lists all previously created widgets; which you can edit, preview and save. You can edit the Name, Notes, Descriptive Text, Width, Height, Header, Button Text and Button Color of a widget. The settings available vary depending on the type of widget.
