The first step in the hosting process is to download and configure a Bullhorn Career Portal release package, as described below:

1. Download the latest stable release of the Bullhorn Career Portal

The latest stable version of the Bullhorn Career Portal can be found under the Releases topic at the Bullhorn Career Portal GitHub Home Page. Click on the Latest Stable Release link:

releases topic

The Release Page will display. Click the Source code link and your browser will download and save a Zip archive onto your hard drive. Make note of where the archive was saved:

2. Extract Bullhorn Career Portal files from the Zip Archive

Locate the downloaded Zip Archive from step (1) in Windows File Explorer or other file system viewer. Extract its contents to the same location on your hard drive. On Microsoft Windows, this can be done by right-clicking on the saved Zip file and selecting Extract All... from the context menu:

3. Configure settings in the application configuration file

Navigate to the extracted folder and open the app.json file up in a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad:

The file contents will look like this:

Locate and update the following values:

  • [ COMPANY NAME HERE ] - A string representing the name of your company, or another identifier which will appear in the masthead of list and card view.
  • [ CORP TOKEN HERE ] - A string which identifies your company when accessing the Bullhorn REST API. This information can be provided by a Bullhorn Customer Specialist.
  • [ SWIMLANE HERE ] - A quoted number which identifies the production environment for your company's ATS/CRM instance. This information can be provided by a Bullhorn Customer Specialist.

Once configured, your 'app.json' file will look similar to the following:
