Add your careers page to your website

Your DriverLanding careers page has your live job openings, a quick-apply form and the full Tenstreet application. Here's how to get drivers to it from your own website. No code, plugin or upload in either case.

Option 1: Link to your careers page

This is your careers page. Open it to see what drivers will see:

Your link https://www.driverlanding.com/lz/YOUR-ID/

Your DriverLanding contact will send you the exact link (YOUR-ID is your company number).

Squarespace

  1. In the editor, open Pages and click + next to your main navigation.
  2. Choose Link, name it Careers or Drive With Us, and paste your link.
  3. Leave Open in new tab off, so drivers can use the back button to return to your site. Save.

Already have a Careers page? You can keep it and point its Apply buttons at your link (click the button › edit › paste the link). Or retire it: disable the old page, then go to Settings › Developer tools › URL mappings and add this line, so old links and Google results go to the new page:

URL mapping /careers -> https://www.driverlanding.com/lz/YOUR-ID/ 301

WordPress

  1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance › Menus and select your main menu. (Newer block themes: Appearance › Editor › Navigation.)
  2. Open Custom Links, paste your link as the URL, enter Available Jobs or Careers as the Link Text, and click Add to Menu.
  3. Drag it where you want it, leave Open link in a new tab unticked (under Screen Options), and click Save Menu.

Already have a jobs page? Replace its menu item with the new link, and point its Apply buttons at your link too. To send old links and Google results to the new page, add a 301 redirect from the old page's address to your link, using a redirect plugin such as Redirection (Tools › Redirection) or your web host's redirect settings.

Wix and other builders

Add a menu item or button that links to your careers page, set to open in the same tab.

What drivers will see

Jobs update automatically from your applicant tracking system, and branding follows your DriverLanding account. There's nothing to maintain on your side.

Option 2: Your own careers address

Same page, same jobs, but at careers.yourdomain.com instead of a driverlanding.com address. Drivers stay on your web address, and your job listings count toward your site in Google.

No need to do this yet. We'll let you know when to start. Your Option 1 link keeps working the whole time, and switching over is a single link change.

On WordPress? You can skip the DNS step and put the careers page straight onto one of your own pages instead: see the WordPress version of this guide.

Step 1: Add one DNS record

This is the only technical step. Add this record wherever your domain's DNS is managed:

Type CNAME
Host / Name careers
Value / Data driverlanding.com
TTL Default (or 300)

Use a DNS record, not "forwarding". Squarespace and most registrars also offer Domain Forwarding or Redirect rules. Don't use those here: they send drivers away to a different web address instead of keeping them on careers.yourdomain.com.

Where is my DNS managed?

Usually wherever you bought the domain, but not always. If you're not sure, ask whoever manages your website or email. Pick your provider below for exact clicks:

Squarespace (domain bought through or managed by Squarespace)
  1. Open your Squarespace domains dashboard and click yourdomain.com.
  2. Click DNS, scroll to Custom records, and click Add record.
  3. Set Type to CNAME, Host to careers, and Data to driverlanding.com.
  4. Click Save. You may be asked to confirm your password.

If the DNS page says your domain uses third-party nameservers, Squarespace doesn't manage your DNS. Use the section below that matches those nameservers instead.

Amazon Route 53 (nameservers look like ns-123.awsdns-45.com)
  1. Sign in to the AWS console and open Route 53 › Hosted zones.
  2. Click yourdomain.com, then Create record.
  3. Record name: careers  ·  Record type: CNAME  ·  Value: driverlanding.com  ·  TTL: 300.
  4. Leave routing policy on Simple routing and click Create records.

Route 53 is often run by a parent company's IT team. Forwarding them this page is enough; the record above is everything they need.

GoDaddy, Namecheap and other registrars
  1. Sign in where the domain is registered and find DNS, DNS Records or Advanced DNS for yourdomain.com.
  2. Add a new record: Type CNAME, Host/Name careers, Value/Points to driverlanding.com.
  3. Save.

Some providers want the full name (careers.yourdomain.com) in the Host field. If yours shows the domain after the box, just careers is right.

Cloudflare
  1. Open yourdomain.comDNSRecordsAdd record.
  2. Type CNAME, Name careers, Target driverlanding.com.
  3. Set Proxy status to DNS only (grey cloud), then Save. The orange-cloud proxy stops us from issuing your security certificate.

Step 2: Let us know it's in

Reply to your DriverLanding contact once the record is saved. We'll switch on your page and its security certificate (the padlock). This usually takes a few hours once the record has spread across the internet, and occasionally up to 48 hours.

Please wait for our go-ahead before linking to it. Until the certificate is issued, visitors may see a "not secure" warning.

Step 3: Switch your link over

Once we confirm it's live, change your Careers link (and the URL mapping, if you added one) from your Option 1 link to https://careers.yourdomain.com. Everything else stays the same.

Troubleshooting the subdomain

What you seeWhat it means
"Site can't be reached" / "server not found"The DNS record hasn't spread yet, or has a typo. Double-check the three values above; allow up to 48 hours.
"Your connection is not private"DNS is working, and we're still issuing your certificate. Give it a few hours; we'll confirm when it's done.
DriverLanding's own website, or a plain "Not found." pageThe address reached us, but we haven't switched your page on yet. Let your DriverLanding contact know.
Your main site or email stopped workingAn existing record was edited instead of a new one being added. Undo that change; this setup only ever adds the one careers record.

Questions? Email drew@driverlanding.com with your domain name (and a screenshot of your DNS records if it's about Option 2).
