Job Scraping Monitoring & Reporting

Spidering quality monitoring involves source websites availability and vacancy pages changes tracking, reporting and problem solving.

 

SpiderMount spidering technology automatically detects and reports a multitude of problems occurring during job scraping, content parsing and posting.

 

Once detected, issues are reviewed and fixed by spider support team.

 

Popular types of issues preventing job from being scraped or posted correctly are:

- source website changed job page format, i.e. design or HTML is changed

- vacancy data structure is changed: i.e. category listing removed or changed

- website is unavailable, i.e. temporary down or moved

- career pages are migrated to new technology

- substantial changes in job numbers

- inability to post job to recipient technology

 

Jobs Taxonomy Engine Added

SpiderMount taxonomy feature provides intelligent category mapping based on job titles, job description keywords and other data.

 

Problem:

Sometimes jobs copied from employer career website or ATS listing do not have a category that can be easily mapped to a relevant setting within target database.

 

Solution:

A client-specific set of rules can be uploaded to a SpiderMount engine. So that all jobs scraped are matched to keyword rules supplied and relevant categories are applied, i.e. industry.

 

Taxonomy feature is available for all job wrapping customers. Taxonomy mapping settings can be added upon request.

Job Spider XML Interface For Bulk Posting

Job Spider auto-posts jobs packaged into XML file via HTTP.  A specific URL either obtains new jobs or removes expired ones. Whole process is automatically managed by Job Spider  scheduler.

Synchronize Jobs Via Incremental Scraping

Keep your job listings up-to-date with source Employer websites by utilizing Synchronization feature of Job Spider. The tool will make sure only new jobs are added to your system and expire the vacancies removed from source websites.


Incremental scraping
Synchronization feature provides incremental downloads to make sure you don’t overload source websites with excessive requests, but only download new jobs added to system.


Job Sync requirements:
Job Sync feature requires HTTP/XML posting interface on a target job board.
The interface is to provide “Add” and “Remove” commands.
It is also to be able to return job ID to spider upon successful posting.


Sync process:
1. Spider runs search on Employer career center and assigns unique ID to each job / specific URL scraped.
2. Spider posts the job via HTTP/XML: posting interface of a Job Board returns unique job ID of each specific job posting.
3. Job Spider saves job ID from job board and links with Job ID of a Spider.
4. Next scraping sessions are done by spider. If the job is gone from job search results: job spider sends Remove ID command to job board XML interface.
5. Job board removes/expires the job.
