HiringThing¶

HiringThing's career sites, observed on live postings, last on 2026-10-22. The fixture page is tests/pages/hiringthing/job.html, served as acme.hiringthing.com in tests/test_hiringthing.py: one example of each rendering below.

Where the form is¶

Every employer is on <employer>.<domain>, where the domain is hiringthing.com or one of the white-label domains HiringThing serves for HR and payroll resellers (oasisrecruit.com, prismhr-hire.com and the others listed in the adapter). A job is /job/<id>/<slug>; the double-send key is /job/<id> on its host. A host outside the list is claimed from the page, by the props of its HiringThing.Components.ApplyButtonGroup.
The job page is rendered on the server with the posting's configuration in that component's data-react-props: the standard fields switched on or off, required or not, and the questions with their type and options. The Apply button, rendered by React, renders the form below it in the page from these props.
There is no request read: which controls render is the page's logic over the props (the referral source, a country's state list, the history entries' subfields), not the props alone. browser_read lists the rendered controls.
A closed posting answers 404 and has no Apply button.
The country's state list is fetched from /regions?parent_region=<country> once the form shows; until it arrives the state is a plain input, so browser_read waits for its combobox.
A file is posted to /client_api/add_file as soon as it is attached: it reaches HiringThing before the submit.
A cookie banner (.cookie-banner) covers the bottom of the page; the blocker's lists hide it.

Reading the form¶

A field's id is its control's name (user.first_name, job_assessment.question_<id>.response, job_assessment.question_<id>.response.0.<part> for a history entry's part, disclosure_agree), a combobox's input id (user.state, user.country, app.where_from), or a file area's id (files.Resume). Its label is the element <id>_label, a box's own label for a single box; (required) at its end makes it required and is dropped. A history entry's parts are labelled with their question's text from the props. A control outside the table below is unhandled_rendering.

Each rendering, and in how many of 384 postings' props it shows (2026-10-22, one posting per employer), the renderings checked on 20 forms dry-run:

Rendering	Field type	Postings
MUI text input: name, preferred name, email (`type=text`), address, city, zip, LinkedIn; `textq` questions	`text`	384; `textq` 78
`textarea`: `essay` questions	`text`	113
`tel` input with a country `select` (react-phone-number-input), `+1` by default; a history entry's phone	`phone`	384
text input with a date picker (`datePicker-field-label`), typed `MM/DD/YYYY`: `dateq` questions, history dates	`date`	38; history 53
radio group: `yes-no`, `single-choice`, a history entry's "Degree obtained?"	`choice`, the option's value	150, 30
boxes sharing a name, `value=""`, their label beside them (`multi-field-label`): `multiple-choice`	`multi_choice`, the options' labels	49
one box: SMS opt-in (`user.contact_preference`), the employer's disclosure (`disclosure_agree`), the privacy policy (`gdpr_disclosure_agree`), job alerts (`subscribe`)	`choice` `Yes`/`No`; the two agreements required	307, 141, 42, 367
react-select (`input[role=combobox]`): country, preset; the referral source (`app.where_from`, the employer's list)	`choice`, the options read by opening the menu	274; 373
react-select of the country's states (`user.state`)	`typeahead`	274
Dropzone area per document (`files.Resume`, `files.CoverLetter`, `files.Other`), its file input hidden on the body	`file`	381, 363, 375
employment (`employmentq`) and education (`educationq`) history: one entry of text, phone, date and radio parts, "Add Another" for more	the first entry's parts	53, 37

A subheadq question is a heading, not a field (37 postings). The referral source is a hidden input on some forms and left alone there. No native select other than the phone's country was seen.

Filling¶

Text and phone inputs are filled; a date is typed as MM/DD/YYYY; a radio or a box is checked.
A react-select is typed into and its option clicked: the one equal to the answer, or for the state the first that starts with it. The state is filled last, since its options are the chosen country's.
A file is attached through its area's file chooser and waited for until its name shows as complete.

Read-back and submit¶

The read-back is each control's value, the checked radio's value, the checked boxes' labels, a box as Yes/No, a react-select's shown value, a file area's last complete file name; a date back to ISO.
Submit is the form's submit button; the evidence is the answer to the first POST on the posting's host other than a file upload. The props carry captcha_enabled? (53 postings) and a reCAPTCHA site key, but no challenge renders in the form during a dry run; a challenge shown on submit is blocked, captcha. No send has been made through this adapter, so the endpoint and the page after a send are unobserved.

Known gaps¶

None.
