Please note: Jobs XML Aggregator module might not be activated for your job board software configuration.

I.2. List of source XML / RSS templates:

I.3. Copy and paste XML or RSS sample into the field. There should be at least full 2 jobs and XML/RSS should have correct structure i.e. all open tags (like <jobs>) are properly closed (like </jobs>).

I.4. Edit / add new source format and map to your job board fields:

Where:

• Vacancy path is taken from XML structure of tags
• Fields table - matching between XML tags and job board fields
• Required - jobs will not be imported is these fields are empty
• Unique - define at least one unique field so jobs do not duplicate
