Question 2

Use your own custom domain or subdomain for application and career page links

Accepted Answer

Click on the dropdown in the top right corner inside the Hirevire window
Go to My account
Choose the Domains option in the sidebar
Enter the sub-domain or the domain that you'd like to use for your application and career pages and click The subdomain used in the example is "yourcustomsubdomain". The subdomain needs to be part of a domain name that you control the DNS for.
You'll be asked to add a CNAME entry. You can do that wherever you manage the DNS entries of the particular subdomain you entered. Most likely this is going to be the registrar where you purchased the domain name. Eg. Name.com, Godaddy or something similar. Some generic instructions to update the DNS entries are present here.
DNS changes might reflect slowly - based on the service you use to manage the domain name. You might have to wait anywhere between 30 seconds to 12 hours for the DNS entries you've made to reflect on the Hirevire domain name panel.
You should be able to see a "checking" status change to "Configured" once the DNS change have propagated.
The public links to the application pages, the personalized invite links and career page links will now change to the custom subdomain you've used.
