What is a job feed?
A job feed is a machine-readable document (usually XML) that contains job postings. It is typically accessible at a URL.
Why do I need a job feed?
A job feed allows you to automatically publish your job postings on postjobfree.com and other job boards.
How do I add my job feed to PostJobFree?
Example of an XML job feed:
<source>
<job>
<date>2026-11-03 02:27:03</date>
<referencenumber>UniqueData131</referencenumber>
<url>https://www.site.com/job?jobid=UniqueData131</url>
<company>CompanyName</company>
<location>Louisville,KY,40202</location>

How old can jobs in my feed be?
Up to 30 days. PostJobFree does not include older jobs, so please keep only jobs posted within the last 30 days: a smaller feed is processed faster.
How will I receive job applications?
You have 2 options to receive job seekers' applications from PostJobFree:
1) By email.
This is the simplest option to implement.
PostJobFree will send all job seekers' applications to your email.
If you want to send job applications to different email addresses, then please specify an email address for every job in your job feed.
You may specify an email address anywhere in the job description, or you may put an email address into a separate <email> element.
2) Web API.
This option is more involved and requires you to have a web API on your website.
The simplest API implementation is to add a webpage that will receive HTTP POST requests with the following parameters:
- id (<referencenumber> of the job)- resume
- coverLetter
- email (email address of the job seeker who applies)
- ip (IP address of the job seeker who applies)
Using a web API allows you to automatically receive and process job seekers' applications.
Can you redirect job seekers to my jobs to apply?
We can, but with "redirect" integration, jobs usually receive ~10x fewer applications.
We also prefer that you pay for redirected traffic (e.g. $0.30 per click). Specify your per-click bid in the <cpc> element to promote your jobs.
Free "redirect" integration is also available if your jobs are appealing to job seekers and are hard to find elsewhere.
If possible, we prefer emailing applications to you – it is free, and your jobs would receive many more applications via email than via redirect.
How much does job feed integration cost?
We have both free and pay-per-click (PPC/CPC) versions of job feed inclusion.
If we email candidates' applications to you, it is usually free of charge.
If you need us to redirect candidates to your website, we usually charge from $0.10 to $0.50 per candidate click (redirect).
