Job Ad Feed (PPC and Collected jobs)

 

Purpose and Objective

The purpose of this guide is to help you create a job feed for PPC or Collected jobs, edit and delete job ads to Monster's Controlled Listings Program.

 

Design Considerations

There are required and optional fields within the job feed. Refer to the Creating the Job Feed section of this document for specific details. Please consider the following as part of your design.

  • Feed format – XML or JSON?
  • Full feeds vs incrementals?
    • Full feed – Allows providers to send full feeds on a regular basis and include only those jobs they want posted. Once a job is posted, it must be contained within subsequent feeds in order to continue to be posted. If a posted job is not contained within a subsequent feed, the posting will be removed. For full feeds, the 'isfullfeed' element must be set to true.
    • Incremental feeds – Allows providers the ability to specify action on certain jobs. The 'action' element in the job ad must be set appropriately. Initial migrations can be done using this method.
 

Feed Frequency

Monster requires that job feeds be limited to one update per 24 hour period.

In order to take full advantage of Monster's distribution network and receive maximum performance, it is highly recommended that jobs remain active in our system for a minimum of 3-4 days (unless the position has been filled). This will allow you to take full advantage of all distribution channels, including email, without the end user landing on an expired job.

Excessive job turnover will result in your jobs being removed from certain distribution channels in order to maintain an optimal user experience as well as maintain both your brand and the Monster brand in the eyes of job seekers.

 

Implementation Process

Monster will create an ftp account and provide access credentials. The approval and creation process can take up to 7 business days. The same FTP account is used for testing and production. Access is as follows:

  1. Go to ftp.monster.com
  2. Login with username and password provided.
  3. Feeds should be dropped off in folder - alljobs\inbound
    -If Agency FTP account with multiple client feeds, separate folders would be required within the alljobs\inbound directory for each client
  4. Notify implementation team when file has been dropped, Implementation team will review and provide feedback if necessary.
 

Creating the Job Feed

  • The full and incremental feed xsd's can be found in Appendix A.
  • XML and json files are the only accepted formats.
  • XML feed samples can be found in Appendix B and json samples in Appendix C. Feed samples should be used as a reference to guide development.
  • XML element content
    • Should only contain text that can be parsed successfully.
    • Pre-defined XML entity references such as < and & are illegal in XML elements and will cause job failures. See https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_syntax.asp in the "Entity References" section for a complete list of predefined entity references in XML.
    • Pre-defined XML entity references should 1) be removed or 2) use the equivalent XML/HTML entities (example: < & ) or 3) be contained within a CDATA wrapper (A CDATA section starts with "<![CDATA[" and ends with "]]>").
    • Monster XML elements where this is more common are: title, description, company, url.
  • There's a 50MB file size limit.
  • Files greater than 50MB must be split into multiple files and provided within a zip file. The 'part' and 'islast' elements of the job ad must be set appropriately.
  • File naming convention (recommendation).
    • For a full feed file, a zip file or incremental files.
      • providername_datetime.xxx where xxx = the file name extension.
      • For example: partnername_20210710135300.zip
    • For individual files within a zip file. Each file within the zip file must have a unique name and must contain a file extension.
      • providername_datetime_part1.xxx, providername_datetime_part2.xxx, etc. where xxx = the file name extension.
      • For example = partnername_20210710135300_part1.xml
  • Files within a zip file must not contain folders or zip files.
  • Supported file types: .xml, .json, .zip, .tar, .gz
  Required in Feed?  
Field Name Full Incremental Notes
jobfeed YES YES First level field that encapsulates provider meta and job data.
provider YES YES Display field to indicate the name of the organization providing the jobs. In many cases, provider = company.

part YES NO For full feeds:
  • Single file (less than 50MB). Example below: 
    <part>1</part>

  • When file size is greater than 50MB, the file must be split into multiple files. Example below shows a 90MB file split in two files:

    File #1 ..... 
    <part>1</part>
<islast>false</islast>

    File #2 ..... 
    <part>2</part>
<islast>true</islast>

  • Multiple files (contained within a zip file)
    • All files must contain <islast>.
    • One of the files within the zip file must contain <islast>true</islast>. This is a signal to ensure all files from a particular set are processed. See 'part' element for additional information.
    • The remaining files should have <islast> set to false.

<refcode>0.40</refcode>
<cpc>0.40</cpc>
</campaign>

Job 2:
<campaign>

Including Apply With Monster

Apply With Monster (AWM) – Want to simplify the job seekers apply experience? Leveraging an AWM integration can provide a significant uplift in the number of applicants. Learn more about AWM at https://partner.monster.com/apply-with-monster

  • Will configuration parameters be the same for all or most jobs? If so, Monster can define default configuration settings for all jobs, such that AWM parameters do not need to be specified in the job feed.
    • Based on the delivery method to be used, please provide the following:
      • Post2: POST2 URL + format (xml or json).
      • Email: Email address + format (xml or json).

    • Will configuration parameters be different for each job? If so, refer to the Creating the Job Feed section of this document.

The following table includes AWM information and how to include that in the job feed. If the same information will be used for all or most jobs, Monster can define default configuration settings such that AWM parameters do not need to be specified in the job feed. Based on the delivery method to be used, please provide the following:

  • Post: POST2 URL + format (xml or json).
  • Email: Email address + format (xml or json).

AWM information provided in the job feed will override default configuration settings.

  Required for AWM?
