If you're an employer with a premium subscription, you can add an external application link in your job posting. Here's how to set it up.

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 Connections page.

2. Once your request is approved, you will be able to add a link to current and new job postings. Start by creating a new job posting (by clicking the green plus button) or navigate to your jobs page to edit an active job.

3. Scroll to the bottom to find the space to add your external link.

4. After adding your link, click preview and post to make the job posting live. Scroll to the bottom of your job ad and click the redirect link to make sure it works properly. This should open in a new webpage.

Congratulations, you now have an external link attached to your job. Please use the chat feature in the lower right corner if you need any assistance.
