When I create a facebook job listing there is no option to add a button. However, I can see other facebook job listings do have an "apply on website" button.

For example, this one -

https://www.facebook.com/job_openin...7ff1b67&job_feed_query_id=6873146309153860309
Anyone know how that can be done?

Same. I don't see an option to add a website url.

I did read something on this website about a custom Jobs tab becoming available when you have 2k+ likes - https://help.workable.com/hc/en-us/articles/115012967708-How-to-add-a-job-tab-to-your-Facebook-page - I wonder whether its a feature that becomes enabled alongside that?

I just tried it now but that tab is just embedding the website of workable and it's not an actual job that everyone can find on facebook.

Thanks for checking. There must be some other way then in that case. Not sure how they’re doing it.

Found another job listing with the same button. https://www.facebook.com/job_openin...edaa074&job_feed_query_id=6874122937481999416

In fact when I searched for listings that featured the disclaimer text "This will take you to the employer's website" I found there are lots of listings with this "apple on website" button.

But when I create a job listing myself, there is no option to include a website URL for on-site applications.

Anyone know how this is done?

Bumping in case anyone new sees this and knows how its done.

Heres a quick video showing a particular job listing, on the facebook jobs page, that also has this "Apply on website" button. There are quite a few listings with this feature as well, although the majority of listings just have the standard apply button that asks questions from within facebook.

I want to know how I can create a listing and send interested respondants to an application form on my website, rather than within facebook.

Just in case anyone is interested, I just got a reply back from Facebook support regarding this - apparently the feature is only available to "Select Facebook parners" AKA the big boys.

Thread answered.
