This article explains how to set up the NI Job Finder integration in Firefish, including configuring credentials, default fields, and credit limits.
To add NI Job Finder to your job board multi-posting, go to Settings > Integrations > Job Boards and click Add.
Fields marked with a star (*) are mandatory and must be completed to set up the integration.
To do so, you'll need your NI Job Finder Username and Password, which you can request from your account manager.
Firefish Profile Name
Give these job board settings a name - this will help identify different integrations with the same job board.
Use direct apply URL?
Choosing a direct apply URL means candidates will be directed back to your website when applying for an advert posted on NI Job Finder.
You may need to contact your account manager to ensure this is enabled.
Default Fields
To set Days Live, navigate to the Default Fields tab:
Live Days
Choose the default number of days an advert should be posted to the job board for. This can be changed per advert.
Credits
In this tab you will be able to set up a limit of the number of credits being used per user or have unlimited postings to the job board:
Status
This column will display a date, which shows you the last time the allowance period began, or the last time the total credits were reset.
Total Credits
Total Credits is set to unlimited by default. You can update this to reflect the number of available credits from the job board or set your own custom limit.
Allowance Period
The allowance period can be set to Monthly or Weekly. When set to Monthly the credits will reset the allowance at the beginning of a new month. When set to Weekly the credits will reset on the same day as the start of the business week.
Usage
When a advert is posted to a job board this will register in the usage to show how many adverts have been posted against the total amount of credits.
Users
In this column you can control each user's posting permissions:
- Leave the user set to Unlimited to allow them to post as many adverts as they like, or until the job board credits run out
- Set a quota to cap the number of adverts a user can post — the default quota is 5 but can be adjusted to any limit you choose
- Toggle the switch off to remove a user's ability to post to this job board, or toggle it on to restore access
Checking your settings
NI Job Finder does not offer the ability to verify your credentials before posting an advert. The only way to confirm your details are correct is to attempt a posting from Firefish.
If the details you’ve entered in the Job Board Settings are incorrect, you’ll see an error message detailing what has caused the post to fail.
