Enable Google Sign-In

Google sign-in lets candidates create accounts on your job board with one click instead of filling out a registration form. Most people already have a Google account, so this removes a significant friction point from applications and job alert signups.

Google sign-in only appears in your board settings after you've connected a custom domain.

Before you begin

You'll need a Google account and admin or owner access to your Cavuno job board.

Create a Google Cloud project

1. Go to console.cloud.google.com
2. Click the project dropdown at the top and select New Project
3. Name it after your job board (for example, "Venture Capital Careers")
4. Click Create

Configure the OAuth consent screen

1. In the left sidebar, go to APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen
2. Select External as the user type and click Create
3. Fill in the required fields:
   • App name: your job board name
   • User support email: your email address
   • App logo: upload your job board logo (optional but recommended)
   • Developer contact email: your email address
4. Click Save and Continue
5. On the Scopes page, click Add or Remove Scopes and add: openid, email, profile
6. Click Save and Continue through the remaining steps

Create OAuth credentials

1. In the left sidebar, go to APIs & Services > Credentials
2. Click Create Credentials and select OAuth client ID
3. Set Application type to Web application
4. Name it after your job board
5. Under Authorized redirect URIs, click Add URI and enter your callback URL

If you use a custom domain:

1
https://yourdomain.com/api/board-auth/oauth/google/callback

If you use the default Cavuno subdomain:

1
https://cavuno.com/api/board-auth/oauth/google/callback

6. Click Create
7. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret from the dialog that appears

Add credentials to Cavuno

1. In Cavuno, go to Board settings (General tab)
2. Scroll down to the Google Sign-In section
3. Paste your Client ID and Client Secret
4. Click Save changes

Once saved, a green Active badge appears confirming Google sign-in is enabled.

Verify it works

1. Open your job board's sign-in page
2. Look for the Continue with Google button
3. Click it and confirm you're redirected to Google's consent screen showing your app name
4. Complete the sign-in and confirm you're redirected back to your board
