DISTRIBUTE YOUR JOB LINK STRATEGICALLY

Job Boards & Aggregators

The fastest way to boost visibility is placing your Truffle job link directly in job postings across multiple platforms.

Where to find your link:

1. Go to your job → Invite candidates → Share link tab

2. Click Copy to grab the URL

3. Paste it into any job board's "Apply" section

Top platforms to try:

• Indeed (see setup instructions below)

• LinkedIn Jobs

• ZipRecruiter

• Monster

• Industry-specific boards

Pro tip: Your link stays live as long as the job is Open. Close the job or toggle Inactive to disable instantly.

Indeed Setup (Paid Postings)

To redirect Indeed applicants to Truffle:

1. Contact Indeed's live support (chat available 24/7)

2. Request they enable the Apply URL feature for your account

3. When posting: Select "Apply with URL" under Application Settings

4. Paste your Truffle link in the redirect field

Note: This feature isn't available for free Indeed postings. For free postings, include your Truffle link directly in the job description.

Career Sites & Social Media

• Add the link to your company career page

• Share in LinkedIn posts with job details

• Include in email footer signatures

• Post in relevant Slack communities or Facebook groups

INVITE CANDIDATES DIRECTLY

Share Link Method (Preferred)

Perfect for casting a wide net:

• Best for: Job boards, social posts, referrals

• Why it works: One click, no personal data needed

• Where to grab it: Job → Invite candidates → Share link tab

Direct Invite Method

Great for targeted outreach:

• Best for: Sourced prospects, agency candidates, silver medalists

• Why it works: Personalized emails with auto-reminders

• Where to find it: Invite candidates → Direct invite tab

How to send:

1. Enter candidate's First name, Last name, Email

2. Click Send invitation

3. Truffle automatically sends reminders 48 hours and 4 hours before expiry

Trial limits: Free accounts get 5 direct invites. Upgrade for unlimited sends.

OPTIMIZATION STRATEGIES

Refresh Your Posting

• Repost weekly on job boards to stay at the top

• Update posting dates to appear fresh

• Bump posts in social groups periodically

Improve Your Job Title

• Use industry-standard titles (not internal jargon)

• Include level indicators (Senior, Junior, Lead)

• Add location if relevant (Remote, NYC, etc.)

Expand Your Requirements

• Review if qualifications are too restrictive

• Consider "nice-to-have" vs. "must-have" skills

• Broaden location scope if possible

Check Your Compensation

• Research market rates for similar roles

• Consider if your range is competitive

• Include benefits and perks in the description

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS

Monitor performance using Truffle's built-in analytics:

• Invited: Email sent successfully

• Started: Interview in progress

• Completed: Ready for review

Use the filter bar to search by status, name, or email to track specific campaigns.
