What is "Direct Apply" and how can I use it on my job postings?

"Direct Apply" is a feature that lets job seekers apply directly through Job Bank on job postings that offer this option. This feature is automatically selected for your job postings, but you must also provide at least one other method for job seekers to apply.  

 

You can choose the application methods, including Direct Apply, in "Step 6: How to apply" during the job posting creation process. Here are the steps: 

  1. Sign in to Job Bank for Employers.
  2. On your dashboard, click "Job postings", then "Create a new job posting". 
  3. Complete steps 1 to 5 : 
    • Employer
    • Job title
    • Target audience
    • Job details
    • Requirements
  4. At "Step 6: How to apply", select the application methods. The "Direct Apply" option will already be selected, but you can unselect it if you prefer. Remember that "Direct Apply" can’t be the only option. You must choose at least one other method from the available options. 
  5. Complete the rest of the page, then click "Proceed to Preview". 
  6. Review your posting and click "Submit". 

 

You can also add "Direct Apply" to an existing job posting. Here are the steps:  

  1. Sign in to Job Bank for Employers
  2. From your dashboard, click "Job postings" in the menu. 
  3. Click "Edit" under the "Action" column for the job posting you wish to edit.  
  4. Go to "Step 6: How to apply" and check the box "Yes, I’ll keep Direct Apply and include additional application methods". 
  5. Click "Proceed to Preview" to review your posting and click "Submit".
