4.2. URL Variables

In order to provide information back from our application during the candidate response, we allow for a number of variables to be inserted into the URL string. These variables are substituted for their respective values when we generate each posting, and thus contain information otherwise unknown by your ATS. There are many uses for this, the most common being implementation of candidate sourcing.

Variables are represented as:

<variable> ::= "{" <name> "}"
<name> ::= <job_parameter> | "board_instance_id" | "pipeline_id"

Where <job_parameter> is any of the job parameter names.

The {board_instance_id} variable is substituted for the identifier of the Board Instance. The {pipeline_id} variable is substituted for the Pipeline ID of the global eQuest board.
