Add custom domain

Last updated: February 3, 2025

Setting up a custom domain for your careers page makes your recruitment efforts look more professional and seamlessly aligned with your brand. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step. If you’re not familiar with DNS settings, don’t worry – you can always contact your IT department or a developer for assistance.

Step 1: Decide on a Subdomain

A subdomain is a prefix added to your main domain. For example:

  • careers.yourcompany.com or jobs.yourcompany.com

You’ll need to decide what subdomain you’d like to use for your careers page.

Step 2: Update Your DNS Settings

  1. Log in to your domain provider account (e.g., GoDaddy, Google Domains, Cloudflare, etc.).

  2. Navigate to the DNS settings for your domain.

  3. Add a CNAME record with the following details:

    • Name: The subdomain you’ve chosen (e.g., careers if you want careers.yourcompany.com).

    • Value/Target: proxy.vouch.careers (this is the destination your subdomain should point to).

    • TTL: Leave as default or set it to the minimum value available.

If you’re unsure how to update DNS settings, contact your IT department or developer for help.

Step 3: Add the Subdomain in Vouch

  1. Log in to your Vouch account.

  2. Go to Settings > Custom Domain.

  3. Enter your subdomain (e.g., careers.yourcompany.com) in the field provided and click Add.

Step 4: Verify the Setup

It can take an hour or two for DNS changes to propagate. Once your DNS settings are updated:

  1. Return to the Custom Domain section in Vouch.

  2. Check if your custom domain is active. Vouch will automatically verify the connection.

Troubleshooting

  • It’s not working! Double-check the CNAME record in your DNS settings to ensure it points to proxy.vouch.careers.

  • Still stuck? Reach out to your IT department, developer, or Vouch support team at support@vouch.careers.

Setting up a custom domain might sound technical, but it’s a one-time task that boosts your branding efforts significantly. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it!
