Here is a guide on how to setup your custom domain to remove ‘vincere.io’ from your URL.
First log into your website hosting account and go to the DNS Settings.
You will need to add a CNAME record in the DNS Settings. Check with your website provider if you have difficulty with this.
Then go to your Vincere Marketplace > Engage > Setup > Job Board and scroll down to Custom Domain section. Enter the domain you want your website visitors to see.
Make sure it matches what you entered in your website hosting account.
For example, you’ve set up ‘Name or Host’ = ‘jobs’ in the DNS settings, you will then enter jobs.yourdomain.com (Eg: jobs.acerecruitment.com)

This is highly due to the custom domain URL being setup first in the eHub settings before creating the domain for it from your website provider.
To resolve this issue, you can simply go back to the Job Portal Site Settings and click the Save button at the bottom of the page once more.
