Questions about custom domains.
How to add a hostname, verify DNS, and remove it later.
Can candidates open the interview on your domain?
Yes, after the hostname is verified. Add it under Add-ons → White labeling in the console, create the DNS record shown there, then verify. Job apply links use that domain.
What DNS record does a custom interview domain need?
A CNAME for the hostname candidates should see, pointing at Hirekal. The exact values are shown on the White labeling page in the console.
Can you remove a custom domain later?
Yes. Remove it on the White labeling page. Apply links stop using that hostname, and you can add a different domain later.
What hostname do candidates see?
The hostname you add, such as jobs.yourcompany.com, after it is verified.
What does domain verification status mean?
The domain stays Pending until the CNAME is in place and you verify it. Status then moves to Verified, and apply links can use that domain.
