# Point your own domain at your career page

Every account gets youragency.jugglehire.com. Here is how to serve the same page from careers.yourdomain.com instead.

## Choose your approach

Two options. A subdomain like careers.yourdomain.com is the common choice and takes about ten minutes. Serving from a path such as yourdomain.com/careers requires a reverse proxy on your side and is worth it mainly for SEO consolidation.

## Add the DNS record

In your DNS provider, create a CNAME pointing your chosen subdomain at our edge. Leave the proxy or CDN setting off until verification succeeds — a proxied record hides the value we need to read.

```DNS | TTL: automatic or 300
Type   CNAME
Name   careers
Value  edge.jugglehire.com
TTL    300
```

> [!WARNING] One subdomain per organisation
> A custom domain can only point at one JuggleHire organisation. If you run several agency brands, each needs its own subdomain and its own organisation.

## Verify and issue SSL

1. **Enter the domain in JuggleHire** — Settings → Career page → Custom domain. Type the full hostname, without https:// and without a trailing slash.
2. **Wait for propagation** — Usually two to ten minutes, occasionally up to an hour. The status badge polls automatically — you do not need to keep refreshing.
3. **SSL issues itself** — Once the CNAME resolves, a certificate is requested and installed automatically, then renewed before expiry. Nothing to configure.
4. **Re-enable your proxy** — If you use Cloudflare, you can turn the orange cloud back on after the certificate is live.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Fix |
| --- | --- |
| Stuck on Pending | The CNAME is proxied or has not propagated. Turn the proxy off and check with dig or nslookup. |
| Certificate error | Almost always a CAA record blocking issuance. Allow letsencrypt.org in your CAA records. |
| Shows the wrong org | The hostname is claimed by another organisation. Remove it there first, then re-add it here. |
| Old page cached | Purge your CDN cache. We set short cache headers, but proxies in front of us may not respect them. |
