Progress Partners is hiring senior people across the EU, Canada and Sri Lanka, including a Global Head of Tax and a Growth Product Manager, and every post sends candidates to look the company up. A search for "Progress Partners careers" returns Progress Software's careers pages, not progresspartners.net. The name is also used by an advisory firm at progresspartners.com and by Progress Software's partner program. progresspartners.net gives search engines little to go on: no sitemap, no robots.txt, no Organization or JobPosting markup, no share image, and job links that leave for Ashby.
First action

Why it works
Give the site a clear identity and job pages of its own: add a sitemap and robots.txt; add Organization markup with a distinct descriptor ("Progress Partners, the remote product company behind 13+ SaaS and mobile apps") and sameAs links to LinkedIn and Ashby; publish one page per open role on progresspartners.net with JobPosting markup (title, location, remote, salary where known) linking to the Ashby application; add Open Graph tags and a share image; and verify the domain in Google Search Console. Use the same descriptor on LinkedIn and Ashby.
Senior candidates research a company before they apply. If the first results belong to someone else, some apply elsewhere or never find the role. Job pages with JobPosting markup can also appear in Google's job search, which no amount of LinkedIn posting buys.

Risks and how to handle them
Duplicate job content with Ashby
Keep the full text on your page and use Ashby only for the application step.
Name confusion persists
Use the descriptor in every post and profile, not just the site.
Evidence
- Search checkA web search for "Progress Partners careers jobs remote" (October 22, 2026) returned Progress Software's careers pages and job board plus a third-party aggregator, not progresspartners.net. The name is shared: progresspartners.com is an unrelated advisory firm "Advising companies across the digital economy", and Progress Software runs a partner program called "Progress Partners".Source
- Your websiteTechnical check (October 22, 2026): the homepage has a meta description but no Open Graph or Twitter tags and no share image, and no structured data (no Organization or JobPosting markup); /sitemap.xml and /robots.txt return 404; open roles are drawn in the browser from the Ashby API and every role links out to jobs.ashbyhq.com, so there are no job pages on progresspartners.net. The domain was registered in August 2024.Source
- HiringGlobal Head of Tax (Canada, posted September 22, 2026): the group "builds, owns, and scales its own portfolio of SaaS and mobile products for a global audience" in "AI, productivity, and utility software", "operates across multiple jurisdictions, with a significant presence in Hong Kong", and needs a leader for "international tax planning, cross-border structuring, transfer pricing", "withholding taxes, permanent establishment" and tax governance.Source
