Backfill your job board with Indeed and SimplyHired
I have read many times in the jobberBase forum about people wanting to back fill their job board from other job aggregator like Indeed and SimplyHired. Well, today is your day! This weekend I had time to think through this add-on and put it together for jobberBase. The add-on should work for jobberBase 1.9.x, you will need to set the cron files as cron jobs and specify a schedule. You will need to be mindful that anything to do with XML parsing takes more computing resource so be gentle on setting the cron to aggregate the jobs from Indeed.com or SimplyHired.com.
See the DEMO
Requirement:
1) jobberBase v1.9.x installed (and running)
Features:
1) No database modification
2) Setup the backfill jobs as cron jobs to run at your preferred interval
3) No double-posting of the same jobs from the same network
4) It will back fill jobs for all your job categories (and location if wanted)
5) Using the basic RSS feed from SimplyHired and Indeed and is not using any API function.
Sites using this add-on:
http://www.dakinejobs.com
http://www.pricelessplanet.com
http://jobs.ugether.com
http://www.jobsmyriud.com/
for US$99*
If you are looking at monetizing your job board, you can use the Indeed API extension (you can only use this if you already have the backfill add-on):
for US$50*
NOTE: I am currently on GMT+8:00 and I manually send the codes out, so if you experience delay in receiving the bundled add-on code, rest assured they will be sent out to you as soon as I am able.
* Please make sure to read the license agreement before making a purchase
If you have other job aggregators you want to backfill your job board aside from Indeed or SimplyHired (i.e. CareerJet, Yahoo! HotJobs, etc. as long as there is available valid XML/RSS feed from the job site), you can contact me for separate customization work.
I would like to recommend that Trovit be an option alongside Indeed and SimplyHired for backfilling.
