Backfill Jobs

In this article, we'll dive deep into how backfilling jobs using XML feeds works, its benefits, and how to set it up for your job board. What is Job Backfilling? Job backfilling refers to the practice of automatically populating a job board with listings from external sources. This is typically done by importing jobs from an XML feed provided by other job boards, aggregators, or Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). The goal of backfilling is to ensure the job board stays populated with the latest job opportunities, even if direct employer postings slow down.

An XML feed is a standardized way of structuring data so it can be shared between systems. In the context of job boards, XML feeds include structured information about job listings, such as the job title, company name, description, location, and more. These feeds are widely used by job aggregators like Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and others to distribute jobs across multiple platforms. When a job board uses an XML feed to backfill jobs, it imports this structured data into its system, displaying the listings as if they were posted directly on the platform.
