SEEK Developer

This content provides an early look at an upcoming extension to the SEEK API. You may use it to scope integration effort, but the features described are not fully implemented and may be adjusted ahead of a production release.Check with your SEEK contact before starting any build work described here.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have reviewed the initial setup for Candidate Profiles.Review the contexts in which your software will surface SEEK Pass & SEEK Profile functionality. Generally, there are three places to surface SEEK Profile summary information:

Applicant list
Candidate list or talent pool page
Candidate record or details page

The seekCandidateSummaries query accepts browser tokens that include the query:seek-candidate-profiles scope.

Candidate or applicant list

Conditionally display SEEK Pass and SEEK Profile elements against each candidate in the list. The seekCandidateSummaries query lets you determine whether a given candidate has SEEK Pass verification and/or a SEEK Profile.

Retrieve summaries

Execute the seekCandidateSummaries query once per page of candidates, not once per candidate.

Render profile link

Use the response from the seekCandidateSummaries query to determine whether to show a profile link for each candidate:

If seekProfile.exists is true, render a link to the Candidate Profile Panel
If seekProfile.exists is false, do not render the link

Option 1: Text link Recommended

A text link may be used to represent the profile link:

Candidate details

Unconditionally display a link to the Candidate Profile Panel with prominent placement in the view. For example, a tabbed view may include a dedicated SEEK Profile tab.

The Candidate Profile Panel will gracefully handle scenarios where the candidate does not have a SEEK Profile.
