The Javascript widget is a simple way to display job ads on your website. You or your web developer will need to embed the Javascript code and (optional) styles on your website.
The widget has some flexibility, allowing you to adjust settings like the number of jobs displayed per page, link and button text, and displaying a search form.
You can use our widget builder to modify these settings and generate your customised embed code.
Important❗️If you’d like to go ahead with the Javascript widget, please check your website is compatible with Javascript widgets.
The JobAdder JavaScript widget is compatible with both Wix and Squarespace!

To get up and running with the Javascript Widget:
- Contact JobAdder Support and ask us to set up a website job board using the Javascript Widget option
- Once your job board has been set up, post one or two ads to your website job board
- Log into the widget builder, here: https://apps.jobadder.com/Widgets/sign-in, using your JobAdder login details
- From the drop down list, select your website job board. Note that the website board will only appear once the test job ad you posted goes live.
- You can preview the display (without your formatting) using the Preview button
- Once you're ready you can generate the widget code by clicking "Get Embed code".
- This code then needs to be embedded on your webpage
- Pro tip 🎉 This is usually done by copying and pasting the code into your page using your CMS or HTML editor.
- The widget automatically uses the styles (fonts, colours, etc) you’re already using on the page. If your developer has CSS knowledge they can customise the styles further by utilising the default styles (copy the sample CSS from the widget builder (see 'Get Sample CSS' button) into your CSS file and modify it from there.

FAQs
How often are jobs updated?
The widget feed is updated once every 15 minutes (if there have been new jobs added, jobs expired, or jobs edited).
The website job boards are not showing in the widget builder?
The website job board will only appear when a live ad is posted to the board. Please check you have posted at least one job ad to your website job board, and have waited at least 15 minutes for the jobs feed to update. Please contact the JobAdder Support Team if you continue to have problems.
Can I add the jobs widget to more than one page?
Yes, the widget can be added to as many pages as you like, but it can only be included once per page.
If I update the settings within the widget builder does it automatically update the settings on my website?
No, each time you make a change to the widget you will need to copy the new embed code and add it to your website.
