FindMeACareJob.co.uk and Indeed
In the second part of Step 4, there is an option to advertise the job advert on FindMeACareJob.co.uk. If you chose to do this, head to the website and find your advert.
Generate the Link: When you create the job listing on “Find Me a Care Job,” this provides a direct application link that can be shared externally. This link will take applicants directly to the job application form or the job details page where they can apply.
Post on Indeed: When creating your job posting on Indeed, you can include this link in the job description or in a designated section if Indeed allows for external application links. Make sure to clarify in your posting that clicking the link will redirect applicants to the application platform.
Instructions for Applicants: In the job description on Indeed, provide clear instructions for the applicants so they know they will be redirected to a different site to complete their application. This can help manage their expectations and ensure a smooth application process.
Test the Link: Before posting the job on Indeed, test the link to make sure it works as expected. This ensures that applicants will not encounter any issues when trying to apply.
Follow Indeed’s Guidelines: Ensure that your use of external links complies with Indeed’s posting guidelines. Indeed may have specific rules about redirecting applicants to external sites.
By integrating this link into your Indeed job advert, you can streamline the application process and direct applicants to apply through your preferred platform.
