Executive Summary

PyjamaHR allows you to publish your job postings to leading international job boards like ZipRecruiter and Monster, expanding your reach to global talent pools. However, these boards are only available for jobs targeting international (non-India) locations. This article provides a step-by-step guide to activating and troubleshooting these integrations, clarifies common misconceptions, and offers best practices to maximize your job’s visibility across regions.

Detailed Overview

What Are Regional Boards in PyjamaHR?

Regional boards refer to job boards that serve specific geographies. In PyjamaHR, ZipRecruiter and Monster are integrated as international job boards, primarily serving the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other non-India regions. Indeed is not directly integrated for automatic posting, but you can import candidates from Indeed using the PyjamaHR Chrome Extension.

When and Why to Use These Boards

When: Use these boards when hiring for roles outside India, especially in North America, Europe, or Latin America.
Why: These boards provide access to a much larger and more relevant candidate pool for international roles, increasing your chances of finding qualified talent.

Integration with Other PyjamaHR Features

Job Publishing: When you create a job with an international location, PyjamaHR automatically makes ZipRecruiter and Monster available as publishing options.
Chrome Extension: Use the Chrome Extension to import candidates from Indeed, Naukri, and Wellfound.
Job Boost: For even broader reach, consider using the Job Boost feature (where available) to access additional boards.

Business Impact

Expanded Reach: Tap into global talent markets.
Improved Relevance: Ensure your jobs are seen by candidates in the right regions.
Streamlined Workflow: Manage all postings from a single dashboard.

Advanced Usage & Best Practices

Power User Tips

Cloning Jobs for Multiple Countries: If hiring for the same role in multiple countries, create a separate job post for each country. Use the “Clone Job” feature (if available) to speed up the process.
Job Description Quality: Ensure your job description is detailed and matches the expectations of the target region. Poor descriptions may be flagged or rejected by job boards.
Salary Alignment: Set salary ranges that are competitive for the specific country to attract more candidates.

Optimization Strategies

Monitor Publishing Status: Use the “Publish” menu to check which boards your job is live on.
Candidate Sourcing: For boards not directly integrated (like Indeed), leverage the Chrome Extension to import candidates.
Job Boost: Use the Job Boost feature for additional reach, but note that the full list of boards is not publicly disclosed.

Do’s and Don’ts

Do:
- Double-check the job location before publishing.
- Review and optimize job descriptions for each region.
- Use the Chrome Extension for additional sourcing.

Don’t:
- Expect Monster and ZipRecruiter to be available for India-based jobs.
- Assume jobs are live instantly—allow up to 72 hours for review.
- Expect direct Indeed integration for automatic posting.
