Frequently Asked Questions

What If eQuest is Already Connected?

If during setup eQuest already shows as "Connected" in the Jobs from API Sources section — try disconnecting and then start the setup process again.

Why Can't I Get Page Id via eQuest Board Setup?

If you cannot obtain the Page Id through the process above, try this workaround:

1. While in the eQuest board setup screen (with green 'Get Facebook Careers Page Id' button), click blue "Save" button
2. This should result in the removal of the green button, and now the field will be empty
3. In a separate browser window, go to your main Facebook company page, click More, and then click About: Copy the page ID.

What Do the Jobs Look Like on Facebook?

The basic job content is displayed — title, description, posted date, req id, apply now button. 

There are filters displayed for country, function/category, and job type in the job list as well as a search option.

Why Are Only 300 Of Our Jobs Visible on Facebook?

While the limit of 300 may be displayed within the filters when posting more than 300 jobs, all jobs are actually available on the Facebook custom page — it's just not indicated correctly on the filter. We will look into fixing this if within our control. 

How Often Are Jobs Pushed to Facebook?

The jobs should be visible within a few seconds of the time they are posted via eQuest.
