Our company uses a third party service for our career/job site, allowing users to submit applications for job postings. Initially, users land on an external facing platform which integrates nicely with GTM. Within the CMS, you can easily add GTM code to the header and body area. However, once a user clicks 'apply' on a job description, they're redirected to a web application, which is essentially a separate system. Unfortunately, this second system does not allow you to add code to the header or footer. I am, however, able to add code to the "thank you" page which users see when they submit an application.
On the "thank you" page, the only way to insert the GTM code is using a WYSIWYG. You cannot insert the code into the <head>, but you can insert it into the <body>. I know it's not ideal, but it's the only option.
Even though I can get the code to render on the page, it's not working at all. It's not recording pageviews, Google Tag Assistant doesn't see the code, and Google's GTM toolbar doesn't show up when the GTM container is in preview mode.
From what I can tell, the page does not refresh when a user submits an application. Thus, I'm assuming that is the reason why the tag is not working. I've tried using a number of different triggers, based on advice I've read online, but none have solved the issue.
I'm just using the standard GTM code, but I'll post my code below anyways:
<!-- Google Tag Manager -->
<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start':
new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src=
'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
})(window,document,'script','dataLayer','###');</script>
<!-- End Google Tag Manager -->
NOTE: I'm also utilizing the <noscript> code immediately after the <script> code.

It would appear that the site you are trying to inject GTM into, takes steps to prevent you from adding JavaScript into their page.
This is a very common security measure on sites that allow users to add content to pages, as instead of GTM you could add something that attacks their server or place a bitcoin miner on the page.

Your only solutions to this is to ask your provider to support GTM directly, or if your lucky you may find the <noscript> version does work and that might be enough to meet your requirement.
