Widget Creation and Sharing

The Widgets feature provides administrators a means to market and share jobs through the ability to embed certain Sourcing functionality on other websites.

The main purpose of creating and deploying Sourcing widgets on other sites is to attract users on other websites back to the host Sourcing site. Place widgets on your organization's external career welcome pages and intranet sites, or on Sourcing pages created with the Site Builder. The following widget types, and the templates to create them, are available:

• Search Result (Job Listing) - Displays a search result list of jobs, based on category and/or location. Recommended practice is to use this type of widget to target candidate audiences interested in specific job categories or locations.

• Search Bar - Displays a search bar to encourage users to look for jobs.

• Sign Up for Email (Job) Alerts - Displays a button linking to an email job alerts sign up modal.

Note: Widgets are not site-specific meaning that they are not available for custom sites in Site Builder. Widgets can only point to the default site delivered with the system.

Widget Creation

Administrators see the Create a Widget button at the top of the Job Search page. Clicking the button opens the Widgets section of the Configuration area, which provides functionality to create and manage widgets. The section has three subsections, one for each type of widget.

Each subsection lists all previously created widgets of that type; 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.

Each subsection also contains the functionality to create a new widget of that type.
