Special Requirements

  • All CareerBuilder postings go through the same gateway/batch feed. The CareerBuilder board that your job is sent to is determined by the location of the job. However, your contract with CareerBuilder must allow for postings to each of the countries mentioned above, or the jobs will error out.

Known Limitations

Below are the limitations of the board and/or eQuest’s integration to the board:

  • Closing and reposting your CareerBuilder posting prior to the end of the 30-day post period will simply reopen the original posting. The posting date and expiration date of the job will remain the same as the original posting.

Board Configurations (Admins)

Below are the fields eQuest administrators will encounter during board setup:

Field Name

Type

Required

Description

Username

open text

yes

The DPI (Bulkposter) Username provided by your CareerBuilder Account Representative.

Password

open text

yes

The DPI Password provided by your CareerBuilder Account Representative.

JobSkinID

open text

no

This field allows you to specify the unique ID which will be used to identify the particular Job Skin that will be used for the posting.  The job skin must already exist on the client’s account.  The client should contact their CareerBuilder Account Manager to retrieve this value.

CBName

open text

no

CBName is the ID of CareerBuilder hosted template that all jobs should be associated with. CBName is also known as 'Brandbuilder ID' or 'HHName'.
*The CBName is applied on the CareerBuilder end and is not setup in eQuest.

We also allow an optional value (separated by comma) after the CBName; if this format is used, the second value will become the CBCustAccountCode. CBCustAccountCode is sometimes useful in the Careerbuilder activity reports for those situations where the ATS always sends eQuest one company name. If you have many brands with different names that you need to bill back to, you can use CBCustAccountCode to specify each brand name.

The CBCustAccountCode value will then be included in the CareerBuilder activity reports. Otherwise, we default CBCustAccountCode to the company name sent over in the job (via the ATS).

*CBCustAccountCode can be used in conjunction with CBName_Selector.

CBName_Selector

dropdown

no

Allows users to select from more than one CareerBuilder hosted template on a per post basis. Overrides the CBName field. Contact eQuest Support if you would like to use the CBName Selector.

IO_CustAcctCode

Will pass the IO Number for the job into the CB field CustAcctCode. Will override any other field used to assign CustAcctCode
