Custom Domains for Job Board Platforms

Why custom domains matter for job board platforms

Every niche job board wants jobs.theirname.com because that's the URL employers paste into their hiring email. If candidates land on yourplatform.com/boards/acme, conversion drops and the board operator looks like a reseller of someone else's product. Move it to their domain and the dynamic flips.

What your users get

• Job board lives at the operator's own domain
• Application flow stays on the operator's brand end-to-end
• SEO credit for job listings goes to the operator

How it works in 3 steps

1. Your user types their hostname (jobs.acme.com) into your UI.
2. your job board 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": "jobs.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.
