Thread: Indeed Integration and wordpress searching features

You're welcome, and no problem, it's good to be clear about what you're buying :)

Kind of.. It's not so much that Indeed jobs are classified into certain categories as such, it's really down to what job queries you have set up, and what search keywords/location the job seeker types in, which determines which Indeed listings appear. But yes, they are essentially able to browse Indeed jobs as well.

Hi there,

In summary and probably last question, do Indeed job listings anything to do with the functionality "Browse by" and job categories? Are they somehow connected? That's all.

Thanks for your support. I hope you understand I need to have very clear this point. I have read many times the documentation and sincerely I do not see any point that makes this clear to me.

My apologies!

I did not note the pagination and therefore your reply. Thanks!

So, I create a number of custom job categories my users will be able to browse Indeed jobs, right?

As you can see, browsing Indeed jobs with specific custom job categories is an absolute must for my web. So, i just make sure, before I buy and start spending time in this project.

Thanks a lot!

Sorry, I have just read what I posted and perhaps you can give me an answer to a question better formulated:

I just want to see my users browsing my own custom job categories and the results of my Indeed queries displayed under the right custom job categories. Is that possible?

Please tell me: Yes it is! :)

Cheers!

Yes, this is essentially how it would work :)

RSS and Indeed Job listings

Hi there! I am back..... :)

Thanks for replying once more to my questions!

1. I was wondering whether the RSS feed feature also applies for Indeed's job listings?

2. In the documentation:creating job alerts, the following:
"Only ‘published’ jobs matching each alert subscriber criteria, will be sent. An alert subscriber is a job seeker that sets his job alerts status to ‘Subscribed’, on their dashboard."
Does it mean therefore that NO Indeed jobs will be included in the alert digests

Thanks again!

1. The RSS feed setup relates to actual posts in the database based on post type/category settings, so no they don't include the Indeed listings.

2. As Indeed jobs are dynamically displayed, they are not actually "Published" jobs. Thanks.

WP all import

Hi there,

Since neither job alerts or rss feeds will include Indeed's job listings, I am looking at import plugins to get this job done. So, I have found WP all Import and asked the developer about its performance with Jobroller. They are confirming that it will work with it.

MY QUESTION:

Hey Louis,

Listen, I have not purchased Jobroller yet, so that's the reason I am
replying to your email.

I need Indeed Jobs to be imported and mapped correctly to Jobroller's
database structure, the right columns structure, taxonomies and posts
types. Only this way, Jobroller's alerts for registered users will include
Indeed job listings and same way, only rss feed feature will include Indeed
job listings. Please give me details. Do you have other users of this
plugin who have used it on Jobroller or for these purposes?

One thing, would it work by importing RSS feeds from other sources, let's
say: yahoo pipes?

Thanks a lot for replying!

--------------------------------------------------------------

THEIR ANSWER:

Yes, it works with any XML/RSS/CSV feed.

Since JobRoller just uses Custom Post Types, Custom Fields, and Custom Taxonomies to store its data, and since WP All Import can import to those, it will work with JobRoller.

1. Is there any Jobroller existing user who is using this plugin for same or similar purposes? Any feedback? Does it work as it seems to be?
2. Would this work to add Indeed's jobs listings to job alerts and Jobroller rss feeds?

Thanks in advance!

A search of the forum shows only a couple of mentions of the plugin, but neither actually confirms that it is being used successfully with JobRoller or Vantage. The Vantage thread user said he had used it for a previous version of Vantage, but it wasn't working with versions since then (possibly due to Google Maps geocoding limits).

AppThemes does not officially support third party plugins, so unfortunately we cannot guarantee that all plugins will be compatible with our themes.

Hypothetically speaking though, if the plugin worked and you could actually import the Indeed job data into your JobRoller database, then the rss feed should then work. Going back to the issue of having the actual data in your database (with no real way of knowing if the jobs are still current etc), there are other things to consider in relation to this though. Thanks.

Thanks again for replying!

Great, I didn't realize about Indeed's job lifecycle on the database. Do you foresee any other potential issues? I would really appreciate if you guys offered my some advice in this aspect.
For this particular issue, maybe I could for instance write some lines to post only Indeed jobs that are not older than 20 days (e.g)? What do you think?
I am just trying to figure out how complicated will be and how much more extra money I will have to invest to make Jobroller works according to my needs.

Thanks for understanding and for your support.
