Job Published Criteria: Bullhorn Publishing Setup
Job Published Criteria (Bullhorn Customers)
Boostie stays in lockstep with Bullhorn so the right jobs show up in the right place - every time. Job Published Criteria is how Boostie knows which jobs belong on your job board and which jobs are ready to be shared with candidates.
1. Jobs List (Boostie App): Publishing at a Glance
This is your source of truth.
Within the Jobs List inside the Boostie app, Bullhorn customers will always see two columns dedicated to job publishing:
- Published - Whether a job is live on your job board
- Publishing Status - Whether that job meets Bullhorn’s publishing rules to be displayed publicly and shared with candidates
These columns work together to allow you to quickly confirm which jobs are eligible to be promoted, matched, and sent out by Boostie without guessing or cross-checking Bullhorn.
2. Published
Is the job live on your job board?
When a job shows Published = Yes, it means that job is posted on your business’ job board and has a live URL.
This is critical because when Boostie sends job matches to candidates, it must include a working job link. If a job isn’t published, Boostie has nowhere to send candidates.
3. Publishing Status
Bullhorn logic, surfaced in Boostie.
Publishing Status is a Bullhorn-specific field. It reflects how the job is configured inside Bullhorn and tells Boostie whether that job should appear on your job board.
Boostie reads this status directly from Bullhorn to determine which jobs match your publishing rules - and which ones don’t.
4. Bullhorn Publishing Rules Vary by Customer
Your setup is your setup.
Bullhorn customers don’t all publish jobs the same way:
- Some publish all open jobs
- Others require jobs to be Open + Published - Approved
- Some rely on additional submission or approval workflows
Boostie does not assume. Instead, it aligns directly to your Bullhorn publishing configuration so only the right jobs appear on your job board.
5. Navigate to Boostie Settings
Tell Boostie how Bullhorn works for you.
To make sure Boostie aligns with your Bullhorn setup, click your user name in the top-right corner of the Boostie app and select Settings.
6. Open Bullhorn Settings
Review your current publishing criteria.
On the Settings page:
- Select the Bullhorn tab
- Scroll to the Bullhorn Settings section
- Locate Edit Bullhorn Settings on the right side
Here, you’ll also see your current Job Published Criteria displayed.
7. Set Job Published Criteria
Lock Boostie to Bullhorn - exactly.
Click Edit Bullhorn Settings.
In the slide-out, the first setting is Job Published Criteria.
Select the dropdown option that matches how jobs are published from Bullhorn (for example: Open And Published Approved).
Click Save at the bottom right of the slide out, then confirm the updated value appears on the Bullhorn Settings page.
8. Job is Open/Published (appears below the Completion Rate metric)
The job is:
- Open in Bullhorn
- Published to your job board
- Eligible to appear in job searches
- Ready to be promoted and matched by Boostie
This is the ideal state for active hiring.
9. Job is Open/Not Published (appears below the Completion Rate metric)
The job is:
- Open in Bullhorn
- Not published to your job board
What this means:
- The job will not appear in job searches
- It can still work via direct link if someone already has the URL
- Boostie will not surface it organically
This typically indicates a publishing configuration mismatch or intentional suppression.
10. Job is Closed (appears below the Completion Rate metric)
The job is closed in Bullhorn and is no longer accepting candidates.
- It will not appear in job searches
- Boostie will not promote or match it
- The job board will treat it as inactive
Why This Matters
When Job Published Criteria is aligned, everything clicks into place.
Your team gets instant clarity into what’s live, searchable, promotable, or closed - without second-guessing Bullhorn settings. Your job board stays accurate. Candidates only see roles they can actually apply to. And Boostie can confidently run campaigns, match talent, and convert interest into action.
Set it once. From there, the indicators stay accurate and the candidate experience stays clean.
