Thrive Jobs Training

What is Higher Logic Thrive Jobs?

This is a widget-based tool that is powered by Web Scribble, bringing your members' careers to the center of the experience by offering:

  • an industry-leading jobs-posting board (powered by Web Scribble),
  • easy-to-manage widgets that can be added to your exciting community experience,
  • job postings right in the main Activity Feed widget, with links to more information and similar job postings.

The benefits are three-fold because it:

  • enhances the career-management experience for your community members;
  • boosts engagement and increases retention for your association;
  • and boosts non-dues revenue for your association by receiving a portion of each paid job posting.

NOTE: The content shown in the following examples may differ from what is in your community. Web Scribble widgets, navigation links to Web Scribble job postings, the creation of demographics, and the building of career-specific communities are optional configurations. 

HL Thrive Jobs Resources

Higher Logic Thrive Jobs in the Activity Feed

The Member Home page will likely be the main page visited by your members.

  • It provides access to their Activity Feed, which dynamically updates with job postings and career information that is tailored to each member based on their profile data and browsing history.

NOTE: Higher Logic will configure this on your site during your Thrive Jobs implementation.

Navigation Links (optional)

The Navigation Bar is one of the first things a user sees when visiting your site.

  • The navigation bar also persists at the top of every page, making it a great place to add links to your Web Scribble Career Center and other job-specific content you want your users to see. If this interests you, we recommend adding a link to your navigation bar named "Careers" or "Jobs".


You can link to your career center or create additional navigation links to other career center resources from Web Scribble. If you need assistance adding a navigation item to your site, you can contact us at support@higherlogic.com for assistance.

Widgets (optional)

As an admin, you can Embed Widgets or RSS Feeds that display jobs on your site.

  • To add a Higher Logic Thrive Jobs widget to your community site, navigate to the “publishers” page in your Web Scribble instance to retrieve the embed code.
  • You can easily find your "publishers" page by appending /publishers to the end of your Web Scribble URL
    • Example: If your Web Scribble instance is www.testingcooljobs.com, your "publishers" page would be - www.testingcooljobs.com/publishers

If you need assistance adding an HTML widget to your site, you can contact us at support@higherlogic.com for assistance.

  • Edit the page you'd like to add your widget and place an HTML widget
  • Add the HTML you copied from the Web Scribble publishers page to the widget "source code HTML"
  • Publish the page to save your changes

You can also utilize other Higher Logic Thrive widgets to link to Thrive Jobs content - such as Featured Cards and Quick Links. 

Career Demographics (optional)

You can build new demographics to collect data about a user's career history and professional talents. A great place for these career demographics is the user profile. An example of career demographics you can create are below:

  • Career Experience
  • Job Seeking Status
  • Desired Salary
  • Location

Based on our best practices, we would recommend considering adding Ribbons or Badges to your community and automation rules to assign them to your members based on their job-related activity.

  • For example, you could create a demographic for the user profile named "open to work". Once a member selects the "open to work" option in their Talent Profile, an automation rule can be configured to automatically award them the "Open to Work" Ribbon.
