Question 2

From Which Job Boards the Web Page Scarper Can Import Jobs?

Accepted Answer

| Web page scrapers can import job postings from any job board that has JobPosting structured data inside it.

JobPosting is the data that most job boards add into the HTML code, so search engine bots(including Google jobs bot) can identify that the page contains job information and is not a just plain HTML page. And web page jobs importer is also using the same data to get the job information from web page. Lucky for us most of the job boards have this data.

✅ Popular job boards and ATS that provide structured data needed for the importer

Examples of popular job boards that have needed structured data and can be used by the importer.

Step 1: Open the page source

Question 3

How to Connect A Custom Domain?

Accepted Answer

Your job board will work by default under the subdomain name that you entered during the registration(eg. your-domain.myjboard.io), but in general, we recommend connecting your custom domain name to the job board to set your own branding. If you do not have your domain name yet, you can purchase it from Godaddy.com

Many people use a subdomain like jobs.yourdomain.com but you can also use www.yourdomain.com.

Now once you have your domain name ready, follow these steps to connect your custom domain.

Step 1: Go to your job board settings page

Log in to app.jboard.io dashboard and click Settings > General Settings

Step 2: Enter your custom domain

Enter your domain name into the 'Job Board Domain' field

Step 3: Update your domain's DNS settings

Now you need to point your domain to jBoard's server. To do this first you need to sign in to your domain registrar(domain registrar is the website where you bought your domain, for example GoDaddy, Hover, NameCheap, etc…).

Once you signed in, go to your domain's DNS settings page add the following to your DNS settings.

Type: A
Host(name): www
Points to(value): 54.193.184.88

where "www" is the subdomain of your domain (eg. subdomain of "yourdomain.com"), and for example

Question 6

Why the Web Page Scraper Did Not Import Any Jobs?

Accepted Answer

If you configured your web scraper and after 24 hours you still do not see any jobs imported, there might be something wrong with the configuration of the scraper, or the provided job board is not supported by the scraper.

Here are the most common cases that you can check against to make sure there is nothing wrong with the configuration.

1. Is the provided URL supported by the web importer?

In order for web scraper to be able to scrape and import jobs from the provided job board URL, the provided job board needs to have JobPosting structured data inside job posting pages. If there is no JobPosting data, the scraper will not be able to detect and scrape jobs from the given URL.

Check out ** this article** to learn from which job boards the web importer can import jobs.

2. Does the provided URL show the jobs list that you want to import?

Make sure that the provided URL is publicly accessible and shows the job list that you would like to import into your job board. Because the web scraper can only scrape jobs that are displayed on the provided page when it opens the "Job Listing URL" page.

So for example, if I want to import only Engineering jobs from the https://jobs.lever.co/kraken job board, I will need to filter the Engineering jobs first and only after copy/paste the URL of the page into the web scraper.
