"Add to Job Cart" functionality in PCS
Purpose
The purpose of this article is to describe the scenarios of passing the job cart from Logged out PCS to Logged in PCS profile, understand how the job cart works in Logged in PCS, and steps to Configure Job Cart in PCS.
Audience
This article is intended for candidates accessing PCS.
Scenario 1: Job Cart for Logged Out PCS
- Navigate to Careers page Logged out PCS.
- Add multiple positions to the job cart.
- Click the Job Cart to view the jobs added to the cart.
Scenario 2: Job Cart for Logged in PCS
- Navigate to Careers page Logged In PCS.
- Add multiple positions to the job cart.
- Click the Job Cart to view the jobs added to the cart.
Scenario 3: Flowing the Job Cart items from Logged Out to Logged in PCS
In this scenario, the job cart added to the logged out view will be carried forward to the logged in view.
- Navigate to Careers page.
- Add multiple positions to the job cart.
- Click Apply to Saved Jobs.
- Sign up for Logged in PCS and agree to terms.
- Add resume/finish onboarding flow (or X out of it)
- Page should immediately redirect to one application that shows the PIDs for the three positions in the URL.
- Submit the application. A popup “Application submitted successfully” appears.
- The My Jobs > My Applications page should show all the three positions that have been applied to.

Note:
- It is not expected that jobs will show up in the job cart if you add jobs to the job cart in Logged in PCS and then log in or sign up using the link in the top right hand corner. The only expectation for this functionality is that when a candidate clicks on “Apply to Saved Jobs”, after they log in or sign up, they will be taken to an application page in Logged in PCS that is set up for those applications that were in the logged out Job Cart.
- The maximum number of applications that can be submitted using job cart by a single candidate is limited to 20. Customers have the configuration option to set a lower limit (than 20) but not higher.
Steps to Configure Job Cart in Logged in PCS
- Eightfold will keep the Candidate Portal Job Cart gate enabled by default.
- Customers will have to do following additional config setup incase of “Logged Out to Logged in PCS Job Cart” flow:
- In smart_apply_config, check for redirect_url and set it to “apply_redirect_url”: “/careerhub/me?action=edit&post_onboarding_pid={{position_id}}&show_apply=1",
- In smart_apply_config, set hidejobcart to false.
