You should create UTF-8 XML feed in the format specified by our job insertion technical specifications. Below are some simple guidelines for preparing an XML feed in order to have your job adverts appearing on WhatJobs? If you would like additional information about the XML format, please check Wikipedia. The UTF-8 XML file has one 'jobs' tag, and one or more 'job' elements. Each 'job' element has obligatory and optional fields.
These fields must be included in the feed as they contain the minimum amount of information that our system requires to include your job adverts on WhatJobs?.
You don't have to fill out the optional fields. However, if you do have the information, please include it.WhatJobs? algorithm prioritises higher-quality jobs, so including more information optimises your listing and will increase conversion rates.
