# Generate Short Job Link

Quickly create a shareable application link for any job posting in Discovered.

### **Overview**

Each job post in Discovered includes a **short job link**—a simplified URL you can copy and share with candidates. When candidates open the link, they’ll see your customized application form exactly as it’s configured under **Evaluate Candidates**. This makes it easy to distribute job postings via email, chat, or social channels without sending the full career page link.

## **How to Generate a Short Job Link:**

### **1\. Open the Job Posting**

-   The link is now on your clipboard and ready to paste.

### **4\. Share with Candidates**

-   Send the short link directly to candidates via email, chat, or text.
-   Candidates clicking the link will be taken straight to the job’s application form.
-   The fields shown depend on how you’ve configured the application in the **Evaluate Candidates** section.

## **Why This Matters**

-   **Simplifies sharing**: One-click copy-and-paste access.
-   **Consistent candidate experience**: Ensures applicants always see the right form setup.
-   **Flexible sourcing**: Works across any outreach channel—job boards, referrals, or direct invitations.

## **Use Cases**

-   You’re sourcing candidates manually and want a quick link to share in outreach emails.
-   You’re posting on a social channel and prefer a clean, direct link over a long career page URL.
-   You need to send the application form to a recruiter or hiring manager to distribute to their network.

## **Best Practices**

-   Always **review your application form** under Evaluate Candidates before sharing the short link.
-   Test the link yourself to confirm it displays the correct fields.
-   Use the short link in referral programs to make it easy for employees to share open roles.

## **What Happens Next**

-   Candidates opening the link will complete the application form you’ve set up.
-   Applications flow directly into your Discovered pipeline for that job.
-   You can regenerate and reuse the short link at any time.
