WordPress Blog & Job Board Software Integration

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

How do you make the best use of a blog for both job board SEO and vacancy advertising? Here are the key considerations for your job board software.

Look & feel
Based on your blog concept / goals: either customize your blog html/design to fully reflect your job board style and add to visitor “job board experience” or keep it simple by utilizing free WordPress template (“blog” style) & layout.


Standalone domain vs folder or alias on a job board?
Do you publish a blog on standalone domain? Or would you add it to main job board? Please consider the following:

  1. Folder (i.e. www.your_board_software.com/blog) – our recommendation
    - for it will help your SEO by organically adding to your overall job board content “weight”. The folder content will be indexed by Google and considered part of your main job site.
  2. Alias (i.e. http://blog.your_board_software.com)
    - alias / blog SEO will benefit from already established main job board ranking. But it will not add up to main board SEO.
  3. Standalone domain (i.e. www.your_blog_domain.com)
    - will help if your external job board linking suffers (i.e. link it to your job board from a well-page-ranked blog homepage).
    - does not add any content “weight” to your main board.
    - for certain businesses might have greater credibility / traffic / more subscribers if not linked to main “biased” job board brand (means more blog page / job views).


 Free software for your blog
WordPress is our preference for it integrates seamlessly with JobMount software and provides variety of nice SEO features:
- SEO friendly links
- 301-redirect (for transferring existing pagerank to new URL)
- sitemap generation
- robots.txt management
etc.


Add dynamic content to Job Board pages via software RSS feature:

1. SEO: help your job board homepage and key landing pages obtain frequent updates by relevant content supplied via blog RSS.
2. Visitors conversion: increase your candidate retention by providing useful content to review/subscribe to.

Type of blog content usually available via RSS: latest posts, popular posts, latest comments, posts per category, etc.
Use JobMount software RSS reader feature to download the content and publish to job board automatically.


Advertise jobs on blog pages via RSS
Add job listings / adverts to your blog posts for both job seeker applications and SEO/ linking.

Job Aggregator Software

Monday, March 1st, 2010

JobMount job aggregation platform: job aggregator module, fully featured job board software and job spider technology combined. Job aggregator spiders job listings via XML, RSS and updates vacancies’ content on a job board.

Increased job numbers facilitate new revenue generators
Job aggregator allows job board owners to compile a substantial number of jobs in a short period of time and with minimal effort, thus helping achieve significant job seeker visits from search engines via SEO. This traffic can be converted to revenue for job board owners through various advertising initiatives.


Launch new aggregator or upgrade current job board
Job board owners can launch new niche or cross-industry aggregator website, upgrade existing job boards or add job aggregation / wrapping to current offering.



Job aggregator module: functionality

Job aggregator is a part of JobMount job board software. It can be managed via job site Admin area. Job aggregator module collects jobs from 2 types of sources:

1. XML feeds
Career sites supply jobs XML feed of a predefined format. Job aggregation module revisits feed and updates job listings. Multiple XML formats can be configured & mapped with aggregator job board.

2. RSS feeds
Job aggregator module downloads vacancy information provided by source RSS feeds. Normally, an RSS feed would offer a partial jobs listing with a limited set of job information (i.e. title, location and job description abstract).

Multiple source XMLs formats mapping
Various sources’ XML and RSS files can be mapped to job board database fields.

Single or Multiple feeds for each Employer
Multiple sources of jobs can be used for each Employer account.

Manual & automated jobs update
Update the jobs by running aggregator manually or do scheduled updates daily.

Sync mode
Provides exact match of jobs downloaded instead of adding those to currently live positions.

Duplicate check
Aggregator will not post duplicate jobs.

Job spidering via HTML

Some job source websites do not provide XML or RSS to aggregate jobs from. A standalone  job spider tool downloads jobs from these career sites’ pages via HTML, parses jobs content and auto-posts to aggregator job board.



Jobs database for aggregator website

Jobs collected are published under relevant employer / recruiter accounts so they can be searched & applied for by job seekers. Jobs database & recruitment functionality is provided by JobMount job board software.



Tailoring job link behavior

Consider multiple options for job title link behavior (based on various job types):

1. Redirect to original job URL (via internal redirect link for keeping SEO value).
2. Open full details on job aggregator and have Apply link redirect to source website.
3. Open full description and process application on aggregator website.
