Application Proxy

The Application Proxy is designed as a simple proxy and cache node for Embloy Quicklink. It can be used to integrate Embloy without using a Server-SDK or embedding any code on a third party site, allowing the third party to direct to a generic URL (apply.embloy.com) which then proxies the Quicklink request by fetching a request and client token remotely.

Using the Application Proxy, one has to simply copy and paste the original job posting's URL:

Apply to any job​

You can use the Application Proxy to apply directly to a supported job by adding apply.embloy.com before the posting URL.

The modified URL should then look like: https://apply.embloy.com/<your-posting-url>.

For example, if your job posting URL is jobs.example.com/123, you can use:

ATS Examples​

Lever Integration​

Example URL: https://apply.embloy.com/lever

To integrate Embloy with Lever, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Embloy's Recruiters Dashboard.
  2. Go to Settings > Integrations, select Lever, press Connect and follow the instructions on screen.
warning

Since Lever doesn’t provide a webhook for updates of your postings’ application forms, we automatically fetch your jobs every 12 hours.

Whenever you create or edit a posting, and you don’t want to wait for it to re-synchronize automatically, you can trigger this manually by pressing the ‘Refresh postings’-icon in the Integrations-tab of Embloy’s Recruiter Dashboard.

  1. Navigate to your Lever account settings.

  2. Go to Settings > Integrations and API > Webhooks.

  3. Ensure all webhooks are active and configured to trigger on job postings and applications.

    tip

    If the webhooks don't appear in Lever's Webhooks-tab, you can reset them manually by clicking Reset Webhooks in the Integrations-tab of Embloy's Recruiter Dashboard.

How It Works​

The Application Proxy acts as an intermediary between the job platform and Embloy. When a user clicks the "Apply with Embloy" button, the proxy handles the authentication and data transfer by fetching the necessary tokens and forwarding the application data to the appropriate job platform, allowing users to apply simply using the job posting's URL.
