Description

If you have a new job board it may look pretty empty to start – solve this by backfilling job listings using the Indeed Integration plugin. All you need to get started is a publisher ID from Indeed.

Indeed jobs are listed in a similar format to your local jobs with the exception of linking through to Indeed (with your affiliate link) instead of going to a single job description on your site. Indeed jobs can also be shown with the ‘jobs by indeed’ text (a requirement in their terms of service).

Jobs can be pulled in using default search parameters you define in the settings. Once a user does an actual search, for a location example, the Indeed queries will reflect this showing relevant results to your users.

This extension also adds an [indeed_jobs] shortcode for listing solely Indeed results if you want to display them anywhere on your site. This just lists indeed jobs for the parameters you define on the shortcode (there is no searching and filtering like with the main [jobs] shortcode).

On top of the backfilling, this extension also lets you Export your jobs to Indeed using an XML Feed. Simply enable the feature and submit your feed to Indeed to be included in their listings.

  • Search and include jobs automatically from Indeed to backfill your job board
  • Generate an XML Feed for exporting jobs to Indeed
  • Use shortcodes to list Indeed jobs anywhere on your site
  • Indeed jobs include affiliate links and click tracking (provided by Indeed)

Backfill settings

This settings control when Indeed jobs get shown and where.

  • Backfilling (no results) – If there are no jobs found, backfill with X jobs from Indeed instead. Leave blank or set to 0 to disable.
  • Backfill before jobs – Show a maximum of X jobs from Indeed above your job listings. Leave blank or set to 0 to disable.
  • Backfill after jobs – Show a maximum of X jobs from Indeed after the last page of your job listings. Leave blank or set to 0 to disable.
  • Backfill per page – For each page of jobs loaded, show a maximum of X jobs from Indeed. Leave blank or set to 0 to disable.

Once configured, Indeed jobs will be listed where appropriate.
