How To Enable Google Sign-In?

Before getting started, you can watch the video below, which walks through the entire setup process on hot to enable Google Sign-in on your job board.



Step 1: Open Google Cloud Console


Sign in to your Google account and open Google Cloud Console.



Create a new project or select an existing project that you would like to use for Google Sign-In.



Step 2: Navigate to APIs & Services


From the Google Cloud menu on the top-left, navigate to: APIs & Services → Credentials




If this is your first OAuth application, Google will ask you to configure an OAuth Consent Screen.



Provide the required information, such as:

  • Application Name: You can add the name of your job board
  • Support Email: You can select the email address associated with your account
  • Audience: Choose “External”
  • Developer Contact Information: This could be the same email as the support email

Once you add all the information above, you can finish and create.




Step 4: Create OAuth Client Credentials


In the Credentials section, click:


Create Credentials → OAuth Client ID


Choose Web Application as the application type.




Step 5: Add Authorized URLs


In your JBoard Admin Dashboard, navigate to: Job Board Settings → Social Sign-In


Copy the values shown for:


  • Redirect URI
  • Job Board Origin


Important: If you have not connected your custom domain yet, you will need to update these URLs later with your domain-specific URLs after your domain has been connected.



Paste them into Google Cloud:


  • Authorized Redirect URIs: Paste the Redirect URI from JBoard.
  • Authorized JavaScript Origins: Paste the Job Board Origin from JBoard.



Step 6: Copy Your Credentials


After saving, Google will generate:


  • Client ID
  • Client Secret


Copy both values.



Step 7: Complete the Setup in JBoard


Return to: Job Board Settings → Social Sign-In


Paste:


  • Google Client ID
  • Google Client Secret


Set Status to Enabled and click Update.



And you're done, Google Sign-In is now enabled for both Job Seekers and Employers, allowing users to register and sign in using their Google accounts.


Auto Sign-In Prompt


The Auto Sign-In Prompt allows Google to recognize users who have previously signed in with their Google account and present them with a one-click sign-in option when they visit your job board.
We recommend leaving this setting Enabled to provide the fastest and most seamless login experience for both Job Seekers and Employers.
