This content provides an early look at an upcoming extension to the SEEK API. You may use it to scope integration effort, but the features described are not fully implemented and may be adjusted ahead of a production release.
Please check with your SEEK contact before starting any build work described here.
Apply with SEEK can be used by a candidate to pre-fill in two scenarios:
- When a candidate accesses your application form via a job advertisement on SEEK.
- When a candidate accesses your application form from a different source or directly.
If the candidate has arrived from a link-out advertisement on SEEK, you will receive the token in a
seekid
parameter appended to the query string of the posted applicationUri
, for example:Text
Copy
https://www.example.com/job/123445/?seekid=93WyyF1h6eaeb58ccc384b0e8353daa3011f1ece
The token should be stored on your system for use in the
applyWithSEEKLink
query below or when submitting a Completion Signal to notify that an application has been completed within your recruitment software.
The token is unique to that specific candidate, job ad, and session, and should be stored only for the duration of the application process.Where a candidate has arrived at your application form from another source (direct link, company career site etc.), the
seekid
parameter will not be present in the query string and should be omitted in the applyWithSEEKLink
query below.The Apply with SEEK button displayed on your application page must link to a specific authorization URL defined by SEEK.
The linked authorization page will allow the candidate to authenticate and authorize access to their profile for pre-filling your application form.
The
applyWithSeekButton
query returns the URL that must be used in your Apply with SEEK button to redirect the candidate to the SEEK authorization page. Note: SEEK is investigating providing an additional implementation for a SEEK provided button widget.
