Integrating Totaljobs with Recruit CRM

This article will help you set up the integration with Totaljobs to have your jobs from Recruit CRM posted on your Totaljobs feed

Written by Sanjana Panigrahi

What this feature does and when to use this?

Integrate your Recruit CRM account with Totaljobs, one of the UK's largest job boards and automate the process of posting open jobs from within Recruit CRM to your Totaljobs feed.

This removes the need to manually recreate job listings on Total Jobs and keeps your external job board feed aligned with jobs in Recruit CRM.

You can use this feature when:

  • You want to post open jobs from Recruit CRM directly to your Total Jobs feed.

  • You want a simple, two-step setup for job board posting.

Before you begin:

  • You must be an Account Owner in Recruit CRM to set up the Total Jobs integration.

  • You need an active Total Jobs account with a valid username and password registered with Total Jobs.

How to integrate Recruit CRM with TotalJobs


2. Locate Total Jobs in the list of external job boards and click Connect.

In the connection window, enter the username and password you have registered with Total Jobs.

3. Click Save to complete and activate the integration between Recruit CRM and Total Jobs.

Conditions for a job to be posted on job boards


While creating the job or while editing it, please populate all the required fields. If all the required fields are not populated, the job won't be posted to any job board.

1. You have to make sure you have selected the "Post on Job Boards" box inside Job Fields in Admin settings. This will post your open jobs not only to the free job boards but also to other external job boards (such as Total Jobs) too.

Here's how you can turn job posting ON:

If you turn ON this setting in Recruit CRM, it will automatically post all your open jobs on our partner job boards for free :) (You can see all the job boards here)

2. While creating a new job or editing an old one that you want to post on Total Jobs, you need to fill in all the fields that are required to post jobs on the job boards.

The required fields and specifications are:

- There should be a Job description for the Job

- The City, State, and Country fields must be filled in.

- Enable job application box should be checked

- Notes for candidates should be filled in

Once you fill in all the necessary details and hit "Save Job", the job will automatically be posted to Total Jobs.


Troubleshooting


Problem: Jobs are not appearing on Total Jobs after integration.

Likely cause: One or more posting requirements for external job boards in Recruit CRM are not satisfied.
What to check:

  • Verify that the Total Jobs integration shows as connected in the External Job Boards section.
    Resolution: Update the job so it satisfies all external job board requirements, then allow time for the posting to process. If the issue persists, verify your Total Jobs username and password in the integration settings and re-save the connection.

Problem: Error when saving Total Jobs credentials.

Likely cause: Incorrect Total Jobs username or password.
What to check:

  • Try logging directly into your Total Jobs account with the same credentials.

  • Check for typos, extra spaces, or outdated login details.
    Resolution: Correct your credentials in Total Jobs if needed, then re-enter the same working username and password in the Recruit CRM integration and click Save.
