Tellent Recruitee on WordPress: The ideal solution for your digital recruitment

The search for the right talent is one of the biggest challenges for companies. But it's not just the selection of applicants that plays a crucial role, but also the presentation of job offers on your website. With Tellent Recruitee Can you make your recruiting processes not only more efficient, but also seamlessly integrate them with your WordPress website.

Whether you need a quick solution or want maximum control over design and functionality, Tellent Recruitee offers various ways to optimise your career page. Here are the three main options:

• Embedding via JavaScript jobs widget
• Using a plugin
• API-based integration

Preparation: How to get started correctly

First, you should check if you have admin access to WordPress and Recruitee. Decide whether you will embed the job advertisements via a widget, create them as standalone WordPress posts, or use a combined solution.

Jobs Widget: Simple and customisable

The Tellent Recruitee Jobs Widget is a simple way to display your job openings on your website. It's a piece of JavaScript code that you can embed into your WordPress page. The widget shows your published jobs and updates them automatically whenever changes are made in Tellent Recruitee.

Advantages of the Jobs widget:

• The code can be quickly integrated into your website.
• Changes in Tellent Recruitee are displayed immediately on your website.
• The widget uses pure CSS, so you can customise its appearance to your liking.

This is how it's done:

1. Log in to your Tellent Recruitee account and navigate to „Settings“ > „Apps and Plugins“ > „Jobs Widget“. Here you can adjust basic settings, such as colours and interaction options. In the Documentation All hiring options are explained in detail by Tellent-Recruitee.
2. Under „Code (sync)“ or „Code (async)“ you will then receive the JavaScript code that you can later insert into WordPress.
3. In WordPress, create a new page (e.g. „Career“ with the permalink Careers).
4. Add text, images or other elements to make your careers page more engaging.
5. In WordPress, use a „Custom HTML“ block to insert the JavaScript code.
6. Check the display on various devices, publish the page and add it to your menu.

2) Plugin-based integration: more control, better SEO

If you need flexibility, design freedom, and search engine optimisation, a plugin like Easy Job Sync is the best choice. It automatically creates your Tellent Recruitee job postings as standalone WordPress pages – with all the benefits for SEO and user experience.

Why is a plugin worth it? Using our plugin as an example Easy Job Sync:

• New positions are updated regularly and without manual effort.
• You can completely adapt the layout of job listings and individual views to your corporate design.
• As the roles are created as native WordPress pages, they benefit from your existing SEO strategy.
• Filter, search options and radius search make job searching easier for applicants.
• No subscription: One-time payment, lifetime updates – no hidden costs.

How to set it up:

1. Buy Easy Job Sync in the online shop or test it with the free version. After purchasing, you will receive the plugin and a license key.
2. Install and activate the plugin in your WordPress.
3. Add Tellent Recruitee as a provider: To do this, go to „Easy Job Sync“ > „Providers“ and click „Add new Provider“. Select Tellent Recruitee from the list and enter your company name as registered with Recruitee. This is needed to query your job postings via the API.
4. Click „Synchronize Provider Jobs“ to import all current job openings.
5. Integrate job listings, filters, or search functionalities into your pages using shortcodes. You can find an overview of all options in the Plugin documentation.
6. Under „Listing Template“, „Details Template“ and „Settings“, you can customise the appearance of the job pages.

3) API-/Feed-based integration – maximum freedom

If you have technical know-how or a developer on your team, API-based integration offers the greatest flexibility. Tellent Recruitee's public API requires no authentication and allows you to design the connection entirely to your specifications.

Advantages of this solution:

• You determine which data is imported and how it is displayed in WordPress.
• Decide for yourself which fields (e.g. job title, description, location) should be transferred.
• Since you are creating content as custom post types, you can specifically optimise them for search engines.
• A cron job can be used to ensure that new job openings are imported regularly.

Developer Guide

1. Research in the Tellent Recruitee API Documentation about the available endpoints.
2. Write your own plugin or theme feature that retrieves and stores Tellent Recruitee data in WordPress.
3. Create a custom post type for job ads that is automatically populated with Tellent Recruitee data.
4. Set up an automatic import that retrieves new jobs at regular intervals (e.g. daily).
5. Design the job listings and individual views in your website's corporate design.
6. Update your XML sitemap and use SEO plugins like Yoast to increase the visibility of job postings.
