How to connect JobAdder to Workinitiatives
1. Create or log in to your Workinitiatives account
If you do not already have a Workinitiatives employer account, register your company on Workinitiatives.
Choose an appropriate posting option, such as:
pay-as-you-go
subscription
job package
free trial, if available
If you already have an employer account, log in to Workinitiatives.
2. Check your posting access
Before posting from JobAdder, make sure your Workinitiatives account has an eligible posting option.
This may include:
available job ad credits
an active subscription
a job package
a pay-as-you-go option
a free trial, if available
Important note about free trials
If you select a free trial, you may only be able to post one job ad through your applicant tracking system before you need to upgrade to a paid option. If you need to post more jobs, upgrade your account or purchase additional job credits directly in Workinitiatives.
3. Ask JobAdder to set up the Workinitiatives job board
Contact JobAdder and request that they set up the Workinitiatives job board in your JobAdder account.
You will also need to obtain your JobAdder account Reference ID.
This Reference ID is required to connect your JobAdder account with Workinitiatives.
4. Add your JobAdder Reference ID in Workinitiatives
In your Workinitiatives employer account:
Go to Settings.
Select Third Party Integrations.
Find the JobAdder integration.
Enter your JobAdder account Reference ID.
Select Save.
Once saved, your Workinitiatives account will be linked to your JobAdder account.
5. Start posting jobs from JobAdder
After the integration has been set up, you can post job ads from JobAdder directly to Workinitiatives.
Applications received through Workinitiatives can then be sent into your JobAdder account, depending on your JobAdder setup.
Managing your Workinitiatives account
Any Workinitiatives account changes must be completed inside Workinitiatives.
This includes:
company profile updates

JobAdder is used for posting and applicant tracking, but Workinitiatives account management must be handled directly in Workinitiatives.
