You can add an external application link to your new or existing job postings on Scout, redirecting applicants to your career portal, ATS or website to apply. You will still receive notifications for all new job applications on Scout, and review applicants on your Candidates > Connections page.

To add an external application link, follow these steps:

  1. Contact us at hey@hound.vet or send us a message using the chat widget with your request. We simply need your email and group and/or practice name.

  2. Once your request is approved, you will see the "external application link" field at the bottom of all new job postings, and when editing existing job postings.

  3. Copy and paste your external application link into the "external application link" field. We recommend copying the link directly from your browser to ensure accuracy.

  4. Save and post your job posting to apply the changes. Now when a candidate applies to your job posting, they will be taken to your external application link in a new tab (in addition to applying to your job on Scout).

  5. To update your external application link or to check that it's working, click on the "edit" button from a job posting and scroll to the bottom. You will see any previously added links in the field "application redirect link".
