Your career center lives at a web address that belongs to you — something like careers.yourorganization.org. This guide walks you through how to connect your domain to your career center by creating a DNS record with your domain registrar or hosting provider.

<aside> 💡 Heads up: You'll need access to your domain's DNS settings to complete this. If you manage your own domain, you can do this yourself in a few minutes. If your IT team manages DNS, forward this guide to them.

Step 1: Choose your subdomain

Your career center URL will take the form: [subdomain].yourorganization.org

We recommend keeping it short and intuitive. Common choices:

Subdomain Example URL
careers careers.yourorganization.org
careercenter careercenter.yourorganization.org
jobs jobs.yourorganization.org

Pick whatever fits your organization's terminology. If your members already call it the "job board," jobs is a natural fit. If you're positioning it as a broader career resource, careers or careercenter tend to resonate well.

Step 2: Create a CNAME record

Log in to your domain registrar or DNS provider (wherever you manage your domain's DNS settings) and create a new DNS record with the following values:

Field Value
Type CNAME
Name / Host Your chosen subdomain (e.g., careers)
Value / Points to lb1.webscribble.co
TTL Default (or 3600)

<aside> ⚠️ Important: The CNAME value is lb1.webscribble.co — note the .co domain, not .com.

</aside>

Example: If your domain is yourorganization.org and you chose careers as your subdomain, your CNAME record would map careers.yourorganization.orglb1.webscribble.co.

If your DNS provider doesn't support CNAME records

In rare cases, your provider may require an A record instead. Use the following — but note that CNAME is preferred whenever possible:

Field Value
Type A
Name / Host Your chosen subdomain (e.g., careers)
Value / Points to 18.211.79.75
TTL Default (or 3600)

Step 3: Wait for DNS to propagate

DNS changes don't take effect instantly. Propagation typically takes a few minutes to a few hours, depending on your provider and your previous TTL settings. In some cases it can take up to 24–48 hours, though this is uncommon.

Once DNS propagates, we automatically provision an SSL certificate for your subdomain. Your career center will be accessible at your new URL over HTTPS — no action required on your end.

Step 4: Verify it's working

Once propagation is complete, visit your career center URL in a browser:
