From Which Job Boards the Web Importer Can Import Jobs?
Web page importers 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.
Examples of popular job boards that have needed structured data and can be used by the importer.
Any career page that is hosted on Lever.co
Any career page that is hosted on Greenhouse.io
Any career page that is hosted on apply.workable.com
