This article is for administrators.
Overview
You can use an Internal Application (Internal App) for people who already work at your company. This app is different from the one used by people outside the company.
The Internal App includes questions only for current employees.
Sample questions for internal apps:
- What interests you most about this role?
- How does this job fit your career goals?
- What skills from your current job will help you in this role?
- What new skills do you want to learn in this job?
- What recent feedback have you received from your manager or team?
How it works
Employees are automatically marked as internal candidates in Recruiting. Because of this, you do not need to select the Internal App when you post a job.
Employees see the Internal App automatically when they do either of these actions:
- Apply to the internal Job Posting link
- Go to the Internal Jobs Listing section and apply there.
Notes:
- If an employee applies using any other link, they see the standard job application.
- If your company has Multiple Recruiting Applications, the system shows the app set for that job.

How Do I Set Up Internal Job Listings with an iFrame in Recruiting?
This article is for administrators.
Overview
Recruiting’s Internal Jobs iFrame helps you create a page that shows all internal job postings.
- You can add the iFrame to a company website.
- Employees can go to one place to look for new jobs.
- When an employee applies through the iFrame, they are automatically marked as an Internal Applicant.
- If an internal application is set up, the employee is taken to it directly to apply.
Set up an internal jobs page with an iFrame
Follow these steps, even if you have used iFrames before. You must add code to an internal web page and update Admin settings in Recruiting.
Prerequisites
Before you start, confirm the following:
- You can edit and publish code on the internal web page where the IFrame is to be placed.
- You have access to Paycor Recruiting > Career Page Admin.
- Your user account includes the Careers Website Editor permission. An Admin user can help if needed.
- Your external careers page also uses an iFrame.
Important: Recruiting Support may need to turn on the Internal iFrame feature.
- Email recruitingsupport@paycor.com.
- Request them to unlock the internal iFrame feature.
- If the feature is turned off, you will not see the settings in this guide.
Get started with internal jobs iFrame
Follow these steps to set up your internal jobs page:
- Ask your IT team to add new code to the internal web page where you want to list your internal jobs.
- In Paycor, go to People > Hiring > Talent Acquisition.
- Select Admin, then select Careers Page.
- Select the Internal Settings tab.
- Under Internal Hosting Settings, select Use an iFrame.
- Copy the iFrame code. This is one line of JavaScript that loads the iFrame on your page.
- Paste the code into the HTML of your internal web page. Place the code where you want the job list to display.
- This iFrame also shows the job description and job application pages.
- Publish the page.
- Save the full web address (URL) of the page where you added the code.
-
Notes:
- This code must be added to the raw HTML for the web page.
- Do not add the code as visible text on the page.
- If the page is public, internal jobs are also public.
- Keep the page secure, so only employees can access it.
-
Notes:
- Go back to Recruiting.
- Select Admin, then select Careers Page.
- Select the Internal Settings tab.
- Make sure the Internal Hosting Settings field is set to Use an IFrame.
- In the Internal Jobs iFrame Code field, paste the full URL of your internal web page.
- Select Save.
Understand limits and security for internal iFrame
Keep these points in mind when you use the internal jobs iFrame:
- The internal iFrame loads on only one website domain. This is specified by the URL pasted in the Internal
Career Page field. - You cannot change how the iFrame looks at this time. It uses Paycor Recruiting’s default style (CSS). This looks best on lighter backgrounds.
- At first, internal job listings in the internal iFrame are public. You must limit access to only employees.
-
Example to limit access:
- Show the page only on your company intranet.
- Use a password-protected page.
-
Example to limit access:
If you have trouble setting up the internal jobs iFrame:
- Email recruitingsupport@paycor.com.
- Include:
- Short description of the problem,
- The full URL of the internal page where you added the iFrame code.

How Do I Mark My Employees as Internal Applicants in Recruiting?
This article is for administrators.
If a candidate does not apply through an Internal Job Posting, you can still mark them as an Internal Applicant. Follow these steps:
- Go to the candidate's record and select the More Info icon.
- On the Candidate Info tab, go to Set Source/Referrer.
- Select Internal Applicant.
- Select Save.
This occurs:
- When a candidate is marked as an Internal Applicant, most Standard Users cannot see the record.
- Only users assigned to the correct job can see the record.
- This works only if Hide Internal Candidates from Standard Users is turned On.
- You can find this setting in Admin > Company Settings > Candidate Hiding.
