Pitch N Hire + CareerBuilder Integration
Yes. Pitch N Hire distributes roles to CareerBuilder under your employer account and records each resulting application against CareerBuilder in the role's pipeline. CareerBuilder is a general board, so its audience overlaps with the other general boards you post to; the useful habits are noticing the same person arriving twice, and judging the board on interviews rather than applications.

Most teams do not post to one general job board; they post to several, and the audiences overlap. That overlap is less wasted spend than a source of confusion: the same candidate appears twice, gets screened twice, and the report credits two boards for one person. This page covers CareerBuilder as a distribution destination in Pitch N Hire, and how to run it next to other general boards without double counting.
What does a general board add when you already post elsewhere?
Coverage of people who search broadly rather than inside one niche or one professional network. A general board reaches candidates across industries and experience levels, including many who are not active on a networking site at all. That makes it useful for roles with a wide qualified pool, and much less useful for narrow specialisms, where the few right candidates gather somewhere more specific. Add it where a role's audience is broad, not by default on everything.
What happens when the same candidate applies through two boards?
It happens often, because active job seekers use several sites at once. Before screening, check whether the person already exists in your pipeline or talent pool so they are reviewed once rather than twice, and so two recruiters do not contact them separately. When you report on channels, credit the person to the source they actually came through first; otherwise every overlapping board looks better than it is and the comparison stops meaning anything.
Is posting a role the same as searching a resume database?
No, and it helps to know which one you are paying for. Posting waits for people to find the role and apply. Searching a resume database goes looking for people who have not applied, and who may not be actively searching at all. General boards often sell database access separately from job postings, so check what your employer account includes before assuming a posting also lets you search. The two approaches suit quite different roles.
How do you tell whether a general board is working?
Follow applicants further than the first click. Each application in Pitch N Hire carries its source, so for any role you can see how many CareerBuilder applicants were shortlisted, interviewed and offered, and set that beside the same figures for your other boards. Put your own spend next to it and the question largely answers itself: a board is worth keeping for a role type when it produces interviews at a cost you would happily pay again.
When is it worth dropping a board from a role type?
When it keeps producing applications and no interviews for the same kind of role, and a change to the posting has not moved that. One weak search is not evidence, because a vague description can sink any channel. Several weak searches for the same role type are. Dropping a board you have measured is a sensible decision; dropping one because it felt quiet usually just removes a source you never gave a fair test.
How to set it up
- In Pitch N Hire, open Settings and then Integrations.
- Select CareerBuilder and connect it with your organisation's CareerBuilder employer account.
- Choose the role, and before it goes live confirm the location, description and requirements read clearly to a broad audience.
- Publish the role, then check new CareerBuilder applicants against existing candidates before screening so nobody is reviewed twice.
