Introduction

Go Fetch Jobs is a WordPress plugin that helps job boards add fresh job listings to their websites using RSS feeds, XML feeds, JSON feeds, and supported provider APIs.

Since Go Fetch Jobs imports jobs directly to the jobs database, imported jobs are seamlessly integrated with “regular” jobs added by job listers or recruiters. It’s an alternative to API’s used by some job aggregators that will only pull and displays jobs stored on their remote database.

Depending on the feed and provider, Go Fetch Jobs can import information such as:

  • Job title
  • Job description
  • Application URL
  • Company name
  • Company website
  • Location
  • Company logo
  • Custom fields

Additionally, with Go Fetch Jobs installed you can fully automate your job imports using automatic schedules using your saved import templates (premium plans only). You can put your site in full auto pilot and keep it fresh with quality jobs, every day.

Below you’ll find more details on the available features. Note that not all features are available in the Free version. To find which features are available on each available version please check the Features page.

Choose a provider or paste a compatible feed URL, review the returned jobs, and import them directly into your job board.

The import page guides you through the process with provider filters, job previews, field mappings, default values, and contextual help.

To help you quickly get started, Go Fetch Jobs includes a selection of pre-configured providers. Each provider is configured according to the fields and filters available from its feed or API (premium plans only).

You can also import jobs from a custom RSS, XML, or JSON feed URL.

Importing

The importer can process the fields provided by each feed or API.

Common fields include:

  • Job Title
  • Job Description
  • Job Published Date
  • Application URL
  • Company
  • Location
  • Company Logo

The exact fields available depend on the provider or feed. Some providers may expose additional fields, while others may provide only the basic job information.

You can also configure additional import options, including:

  • Job categories and job types
  • Default values for custom fields
  • Expiry dates
  • Job author
  • Maximum number of jobs
  • Field mappings
  • Post-process filters
  • Saved import templates

Some options, such as Smart Assign, scraping missing metadata, and scheduled imports, are available only on Premium plans.

Templates

You can save an import setup as a template and reuse it later.

Templates can store the selected provider or feed URL, filters, field mappings, default values, and other import settings.

Premium users can also assign saved templates to automatic schedules.

Filter Jobs

For most pre-set providers you can use user friendly filters to better target the jobs you’re looking for.

Schedules

Premium users can use saved templates with automatic schedules to import jobs on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Schedules can also define limits, content periods, and other import options.

On each schedule you can further limit the jobs to import and assign them to a particular job lister.

Schedules are a great way to keep your job site fresh with new jobs!
