Hosted Site
The hosted solution is great if you have limited technical
staff, will not be making frequent changes to the website, or
want your visitors to know you are using an external service
Tips:
• Link the logo on your career site to go back to your
company website
• Customize the introduction wording
Example:

iFrame
The iFrame option integrates content from the Jobvite powered site
to a site hosted by you, so visitors will see your URL. They allow you
to have control over design of the page outside the iFrame and make
simple changes on your own.
Tips:
• Set up link redirects
• Request unique URLs for each job opening
• Provide CSS style sheet for Standard sites
• Make the career site iFrame friendly
Examples:
https://www.lookout.com/about/careers

XML/JSON Feed
With the XML/JSON feed, you have complete control over the
design and format of how your job listings and details are
displayed, which will need to be set up by a technical resource
at your company.
Tips:
• Integrating Apply page with an iFrame for a consistent look
Examples:
http://www.etsy.com/jobs
