Custom Domains for Hiring & ATS Platforms

Why custom domains matter for hiring and applicant tracking platforms

A candidate clicking from acme.com/careers to careers.yourats.com loses trust in the same tab. Recruiting agencies feel it worse — they need careers.theirclient.com so the candidate experience never reveals that the ATS isn't built in-house at the client. Custom domains are how you win that whole segment.

What your users get

• Careers and candidate portals on the customer's domain
• Application emails sent from the customer's brand
• White-labeled recruiter dashboards for agency users

How it works in 3 steps

1. Your user types their hostname (careers.acme.com) into your UI.
2. your hiring platform POSTs to the Domainee API to register it and gets back the CNAME the user needs to add at their DNS provider.
3. We monitor DNS, issue the cert via Let's Encrypt, and webhook back when it's live. Usually about 60 seconds.

The code

curl -X POST https://api.domainee.dev/v1/domains \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOMAINEE_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "hostname": "careers.acme.com",
    "originUrl": "https://app.your-saas.com",
    "mode": "proxy",
    "redirectWww": true,
    "metadata": { "workspaceId": "your-internal-id" }
  }'

The response includes a dnsRecords array (usually one CNAME). Show that to your user, tell them to paste it at their DNS provider, and we'll handle the rest.
