Job Distribution on side panel

DATE:
AUTHOR: The Eightfold team

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Job distribution now opens as a side panel directly from a position's pipeline page, instead of the separate Job Distribution Center page. From the panel, you can post to internal and external career sites, assign jobs to agencies and create tracking links, and distribute to external job boards.

Distributing to external job boards used to mean leaving the pipeline for a separate page and submitting postings one location-and-language combination at a time. Now you can select multiple job boards, locations, and languages in a single flow. The location from the intake form is set as the default automatically. Once submitted, every posting appears on a unified table, including postings made through aggregators like eQuest. For boards that require Board-Specific Data (BSD) on the aggregator's site, you're redirected there and back automatically, and any posting interrupted mid-flow can be resumed right where it stopped.

WHY IT MATTERS

  • Recruiters manage career-site publishing, external job boards, tracking links, talent-network campaigns, and agency assignment from one side panel, without losing position context.

  • One submission can cover multiple boards, locations, and languages instead of repeating the flow for each combination.

  • A posting interrupted mid-flow — for example, by a closed browser tab — can be resumed instead of restarted.

  • Admins can connect and manage an eQuest aggregator account directly in Admin Console; Broadbean accounts still have to be managed through config.

  • Each board's post status (Published, In progress, Failed, Unpublished), application counts, and per-post actions (unpublish, retry, republish) are all visible without leaving the panel.

FEATURE DETAILS

Who can access

Recruiters (and any role with pipeline/position management permissions) use the panel to distribute postings. Talent Acquisition admins (the perm_admin_ta permission) connect and manage external job board provider accounts.

Feature type

Default On

Requirements

  • Centralised Job Distribution feature should be enabled

  • Tenants using Broadbean for job-board distribution can access the new side panel, but their external posting experience is unchanged — they're still redirected to Broadbean to post to boards.

  • An eQuest aggregator account (username/password) is required to post to eQuest-connected boards; tenants with existing eQuest configuration carry it over automatically

GETTING STARTED

Admins: Connect the eQuest aggregator account (or confirm existing job_distribution_config credentials carried over) under Admin Console > Talent Tracking  > Job Distribution > External job boards. Confirm the demo/admin user's role includes Recruiter, since some tenants seed test users without it. If the tenant has pre-existing eQuest postings, run the one-time legacy-postings backfill so they appear in the new panel. Read Job Distribution in Talent Tracking for more info.

End users: Open a position's pipeline page and click View job distribution under Position details to open the side panel. Use Create post under External job boards to select boards, locations, and languages in one flow.
