How BrightMove Posts Your Jobs

Get to know more about Job Gorilla

Updated this week

JobGorilla

BrightMove includes a real time posting mechanism for most of the major job boards, and batch posting for a handful of other free boards. Our product called JobGorilla, is a proprietary job distribution engine (JDE). JobGorilla is a flexible and robust platform that has been designed to make it easy to plug new job boards and APIs into BrightMove. This is how we enable the Edit Once, Post Everywhere philosophy.

How it Works

BrightMove has developed relationships with various job boards and has integrated JobGorilla with their respect feed formats and requirements. We have a special way of sending them jobs from BrightMove so that the jobs will post on their sites just as if you had gone to the site and manually posted it yourself. When you add, edit or delete a job in BrightMove, the respective changes are made on the job boards, eliminating hours of job posting management on the various job boards.

Posting Jobs

To post a job externally, simply select the Publish to Web button on the Web Description tab of the Job Screen. This will queue the job for posting using JobGorilla. Jobs must be marked as "Published to Web" in BrightMove to ensure they are sent to external job boards. If this option is not selected while creating the job post, the job will only be visible internally. To correct this, locate the "Publish to Web" checkbox next to the job description field and ensure it is selected before re-publishing.

Tracking Job Postings

To see activity associated with job board posting, see the Job Board Posting tab on the Job screen.

Processing Times and Visibility

BrightMove updates its job feed once every hour, while external job boards, like ZipRecruiter, update every four hours and may perform job posting reviews prior to making the jobs visible. This results in a typical delay from the time a job is posted in BrightMove to when it appears externally. We suggest waiting 24 hours to ensure the job had an appropriate amount of time to post based on volume of the job board feed.

Troubleshooting Tips

If your job doesn’t appear on external boards after 24 hours:

  1. Revisit the job posting in BrightMove to confirm the "Publish to Web" checkbox is selected.

  2. Verify all required fields are populated.

  3. Contact BrightMove support if issues persist beyond the expected timeframes.

Confidential Job Postings

BrightMove does not support confidential job postings through the platform.

While Indeed offers a confidential posting option directly on their site, they do not allow confidential jobs to be submitted through an ATS integration. This is rooted in their commitment to fraud prevention and employer data integrity, protections they maintain within their own platform.

BrightMove shares this commitment. To avoid contributing to any risk on Indeed or other job boards, we have aligned with this position and will not facilitate confidential postings through our system.

If you need to post a job confidentially, you will need to do so directly through the job board of your choice, outside of BrightMove.
