How to Add a Job Board to Your beehiiv Newsletter

Quick Answer

Run the job board on a subdomain of your own domain, such as jobs.yournewsletter.com. Add a Jobs link to your beehiiv website navbar, then add the board's RSS feed to beehiiv and drop an RSS block into your issue. The navbar link works on any paid beehiiv plan. The RSS block needs Pro or Enterprise, and on a lower plan you paste a few job links by hand instead. Most newsletters can finish all of it in an afternoon.

What beehiiv Handles and What the Board Handles

beehiiv is built to write, send and host a newsletter and its website. A job board does a different job: an employer submits a listing, pays for it and manages it, and each listing becomes a page that job seekers find on Google. We found no tool in beehiiv's documentation for employers to submit and pay for listings (checked October 2026), so the board lives on its own site and beehiiv points to it.

Nothing here syncs on its own. The board does not send your issue, and beehiiv does not publish job pages. What you set up below is a set of links and a feed, which is also why none of it can break the newsletter you already send.

Step 1: Put the Board on Its Own Subdomain

Give the board its own hostname, such as jobs.yournewsletter.com. A hostname can only point to one place, so if your beehiiv site already uses newsletter.yournewsletter.com or a beehiiv address, the board needs a different one.

In your Kardow dashboard, open Settings > Custom Domain, enter the subdomain, and add the CNAME and TXT records it shows you at your DNS provider. Custom domains are included on every plan. Until the domain is connected, the board runs on a Kardow address that is kept out of Google, so connect it before you send readers there.

Why not a path such as yournewsletter.com/jobs? A path needs a routing rule on whatever hosts your main site, and we found nothing in beehiiv's documentation about sending a path to another site. A subdomain gives up a little search authority compared with a path, and it is the setup that works on beehiiv today.

Step 2: Link the Board From Your beehiiv Navbar

Your beehiiv site is where readers land from search and from shared issues, so give them a way to reach the board. This takes a couple of minutes and needs a paid plan.

1. In beehiiv, go to Website > Builder.
2. Click the Globals icon in the left icons menu.
3. Under Navigation, click the three dots next to Navbar, then Edit global navbar.
4. Click the + icon and drag a link onto the navbar where you want it.
5. Set the Label to Jobs. For the Link URL, choose Custom, enter https://jobs.yournewsletter.com, and click Set Link.
6. Turn on Show on mobile for the item, so it appears in the mobile menu too.
7. Click Publish in the top right. beehiiv saves navbar changes as drafts, and they do not show on your live site until you publish.

These steps are for beehiiv's Advanced Website Builder. beehiiv also keeps a legacy builder with its own help articles, so if your menus look different, check which one your account uses.

Step 3: Add the Jobs Feed to beehiiv

beehiiv calls this RSS Ingestion, or RSS to Send. It lets a post show items from an external feed, and beehiiv lists it for Pro and Enterprise plans (beehiiv help center, updated October 1, 2026).

Every Kardow board publishes a feed at /rss.xml. Open jobs.yournewsletter.com/rss.xml in a browser to see it, or use Copy RSS feed URL on the Design page of your dashboard. Then add it to beehiiv:

1. In beehiiv, click Settings in the left panel and open your publication's RSS page.
2. In the RSS Ingestion section, click New External RSS Feed.
3. Name it Jobs, paste the feed URL, and click Continue.
4. In Feed Defaults, choose how many items to show and which attributes to include.
5. Click Create RSS Feed.

The attributes beehiiv offers map onto the feed like this:

One thing to plan around: the company name sits at the start of the description, not in the title. A list of titles only shows job titles without companies. If you want the company on show, keep the description on and show three or four jobs so the issue stays short.

The feed carries the newest 50 jobs on the board, with no filters, and it refreshes about once an hour. It cannot be narrowed to one category or to paid posts, which is why Step 6 handles those by hand.

Step 4: Put the Jobs Block in Your Issue

In the post editor, type /rss and pick your Jobs feed. Click the block to open its settings:

• Filter by time window. Set it to the length of your send cycle, such as one week, so each issue shows only new jobs. beehiiv shows up to the 25 most recent items in the window.
• Articles to show. Three to six keeps the section scannable.
• Layout. Headlines gives a bulleted list of titles. The row layouts give each job more room.
• Attributes. Use the table above.
• Refresh feed on send. Turn it on. beehiiv says it pulls the latest posts each time the email is sent.
• Starts from. Use the same feed in two blocks with different starting points to put a sponsor message between jobs. beehiiv describes this use for ads.

Before you schedule the issue, click the refresh icon in the block toolbar to pull the latest jobs by hand, then preview the email. beehiiv's help center describes combining Refresh feed on send with a recurring email series as something for Enterprise users, so on Pro, refresh the block when you build each issue.

Step 5: Add a Jobs Page to Your beehiiv Site

The navbar link already sends readers to the full board. If you also want live jobs on a page inside your beehiiv site, the Website Builder has an HTML block, which beehiiv lists for all paid plans.

1. In Website > Builder, open the page, or create one called Jobs.
2. Click +, then Elements, Advanced blocks, HTML, and Configure.
3. On the Code tab, paste the jobs widget. Copy it from your Kardow dashboard under Companies > Embed, and leave the company empty to show all jobs. Wrap it in a single container div, which beehiiv requires:

<div>
  <script src="https://jobs.yournewsletter.com/embed.js" async></script>
</div>

4. Switch to Preview. beehiiv says interactive elements do not run in the editor itself, only in Preview and on the live site.
5. Save, then Publish.

beehiiv lists third-party widgets as supported and tells you to test each one in Preview, so check the page there before you publish. The block has no <html>, <head> or <body> tags, and the editor holds 50,000 characters in total, which is plenty for one line of script. If the jobs list does not appear, keep the navbar link from Step 2 as the way in.

Step 6: Write Paid Mentions and Featured Jobs by Hand

The feed shows the newest jobs in order. A paid issue mention is different: a sponsor bought that spot, so write it the way you write a sponsorship, with a short line about the employer and a link to the job. In Kardow, open All jobs, click the three dots on the job, and choose Copy short link. Short links are easy to paste and easy to read in an email.

Do not try to put the jobs widget in the post itself. beehiiv's HTML Snippet does not save script or style elements, and beehiiv says iframes do not render in the email version of a post, only on the web version. The RSS block and plain links are the two ways jobs get into the email.

Step 7: Grow the List in Both Directions

Readers move both ways. Newsletter readers click through to the board from each issue and from your navbar. Job seekers find the board through Google and sign up for job alerts.

Kardow sends those job alerts itself, from the board, matched to each person's keywords, categories and locations. That is separate from your beehiiv issue, so someone who only wants alerts gets alerts and is not mailed your newsletter.

To bring alert subscribers into the newsletter, export them from Users in your Kardow dashboard (set the Job alerts filter to Subscribed, then click Export CSV) and import the file into beehiiv. beehiiv's import takes a CSV with an email column. Read its confirmation before you do: beehiiv asks you to agree that everyone you import knowingly consented and opted in to your newsletter, and says a false claim can lead to termination of service. Someone who signed up for job alerts agreed to job alerts. Import only the people who have also agreed to your newsletter, for example by inviting them from the board to your newsletter's own sign up page, so they join on their own.

If you want it automatic, look at Zapier. Kardow's Zapier integration has a New User Created trigger and needs an API key, which is on Pro and above, and beehiiv says its Zapier and Make integrations push data from third party forms into beehiiv. Test a Zap with one address before you rely on it. The same consent rule applies.
