A client needed to provide category-specific job information to two job boards without displaying it on their career site. We automated the process by querying iCIMS for relevant category fields, integrating the data into customized XML feeds for each job board. This solution saved time and ensured accurate, scalable job board integrations.
Challenge:
A client required category-specific job information for two distinct job boards while ensuring this data did not appear on their career site. The challenge involved:
- Querying iCIMS for job board-specific category fields tied to job types and requisition IDs.
- Automating the integration of these fields into XML job feeds without manual intervention.
- Delivering customized feeds tailored to each job board’s unique requirements.
Solution:
The project involved leveraging automation tools to efficiently splice the required data into job feeds:
- Data Collection: Scraped all jobs to create a standard XML feed.
- Field Identification: Used JobSplice to identify requisition IDs with relevant category fields.
- API Querying: Queried the iCIMS API to retrieve job-specific category details.
- Feed Customization: Integrated the category data into job board-specific versions of the XML feed.
- Output Delivery: Provided enhanced, board-specific XML feeds for seamless integration.
This automated workflow allowed the client to meet job board requirements while maintaining a clean and concise career site.
Impact:
- Simplified a labor-intensive process, saving significant time and resources.
- Delivered accurate and customized job data for improved job board compatibility.
- Ensured scalability and consistency for future integrations.
Why It Matters:
Clients often need to enrich job postings with specific details required by job boards or to make roles more appealing to candidates. Manual updates for hundreds of postings are impractical and error-prone. Automating this process using tools like JobSplice ensures efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.
