XML Feed Specifications

01. Introduction
Providing us an XML feed is the most reliable and the fastest way to get your job
advertisements included to Jooble’s index. You should provide us a URL, where
your XML feed is located. An XML feed should contain all of the current job ads
that were published on your website.

To index jobs from the XML feed, we use a web-crawler, which identifies itself
as 'JoobleBot' or 'HTTP/1.1 JoobleBot (compatible; https://jooble.org/jooble-bot)'

JoobleBot crawls an XML feed at least once per 24 hours. The time and
frequency of crawling can be adjusted to your requirements.

02. XML Fеed Format


We strongly encourage you to specify the current encoding
of an XML feed in its header, for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

All job content must be inside CDATA sections to avoid issues


processing your XML feed. An XML feed must contain one common tag.

Each job must be inside a separate tag; this tag must contain a single
"id" attribute, which must contain the unique job ID.

The <job> tag must contain the following tags


Required tags

<link> — the full URL of a job, where Jooble will forward users to. The link must
lead to a page with a complete job description.

<name> — job title.

<region> — list of regions/cities. Regions can be listed in a text format and


separated by any punctuation marks.

<description> — a complete job description. Please note that we are able to index
an XML feed that contains complete jobs descriptions. If there are additional fields
such as “job description”, “candidates’ requirements”, “responsibilities”, “working
conditions” on a job page, they must be included to the <description> tag.

<pubdate> — original publication date of a job. Please specify the date in the
DD.MM.YYYY format.

<updated> * — last modification date of a job. By this, we mean the last time when
the original publication date of a job was updated, or when a job description was
edited by an employer. Please specify the date in the DD.MM.YYYY format.

<salary> ** — salary + currency. For example, "300$", "1500€" or "167£".

<company> ** — a company name, name of employer.

<expire> ** — date when a job gets expired. Please specify the date in the
DD.MM.YYYY format.

<jobtype> ** — type of a job. For example, full-time, part-time, contract,


internship, temporary.

Please note
Jooble can index only those jobs that were published less than 45 days ago of the date
when Jooble first indexed your XML feed. This rule applies to <updated> and <pubdate>
tags. If a job does NOT have <updated> and <pubdate> tags, then a job is valid within 45
days of the date when Jooble first indexes this job.

Please note
Adding the tags marked with ** are required if they are available on your website; they may
increase your jobs’ rankings and volume of targeted traffic from Jooble to your website.
Optional Tags

<company_logo>* — a URL address of the company logotype

Please note
Requirements to the
Jooble can display a company logo on
Logo Dimensions
the search results page.

If you want Jooble to display your


Height 15px
clients’ company logos, you must add a
<company_logo> tag with a URL Width >40px
address of the company logotype.

Recommended logo formats JPG, PNG, GIF

How to add tags for segmentation in the feed?


In order to make a segmentation in the feed, please add a
special tag (for instance, the tag “paid”) to the vacancies
which you would like to be promoted. In the code it is
<paid><![CDATA[True]]></paid>

How to add tags for segmentation in the feed?


In order to add CPC bids in the feed, please add tags to
every vacancy, for example, <сpc><![CDATA[0.3]]></cpc>
