Apply URL Guidelines

Overview

Quicky Hire’s Apply URL Guidelines provide a framework for employers to post jobs directly on Quicky Hire while directing job seekers to an external application process hosted on the employer’s website. This solution is ideal for roles that are not easily indexable or require a specialized application process specific to the company. These guidelines ensure that the application process remains seamless, transparent, and compliant with Quicky Hire’s quality standards.

Policy Statement

Employers utilizing the Apply URL feature must adhere to Quicky Hire’s guidelines to ensure a positive and efficient experience for job seekers. The Apply URL must lead directly to a legitimate job description or application process that meets all of Quicky Hire’s policies and quality standards.
