Manually Importing Jobs (Advanced)
The advanced import workflow gives you more control over provider filters, field mappings, default values and post-process filtering.
Before continuing, make sure you are familiar with the basic import workflow:
The advanced options are useful when you need to:
- configure provider-specific filters
- use a custom feed URL or API endpoint
- map additional feed fields
- assign fallback values
- filter jobs after the provider returns the results
- add tracking parameters to outbound job links
- save the configuration as a reusable template
- create a scheduled import.
Choosing a Provider
Select one of the available providers. Premium providers may require a paid plan, API credentials, or other configuration before they can be used.
Provider Filters
Use the available filters to control which jobs are returned.
Some providers support free-text filters, while others provide predefined values such as countries, categories, job types, companies, or salary ranges. When a provider loads options remotely, the list is loaded only when the field is opened or searched.
If a provider does not expose configurable filters, you may be given either a fixed feed URL or a selection of ready-made feeds, such as Latest Jobs, IT Jobs, Health Jobs, or similar predefined feeds.
Preview Results
Click Preview Results to request a sample of jobs from the provider.
The preview allows you to confirm that:
- the request returns the expected jobs
- the selected filters are working
- the feed contains the fields you need
- the descriptions and metadata are sufficiently complete
Field Mappings
After the preview loads, the importer displays the fields recognized in the feed or API response.
The importer suggests mappings for common fields such as:
- Date
- Title
- Company
- Location
- Logo
- Link
- Description
- Job Category
- Job Type
- Expiry Date
The available fields vary according to the provider and the response returned.
Missing Metadata and Job-Enhancements
Some providers return only limited information in their feed. On supported providers, Premium plans can use the Fetch from job page toggle to retrieve additional fields from the original job page, including fuller descriptions, companies, locations, and logos.
This option depends on the provider’s page structure and is not available for every source.
Default Values
When a field is missing from the feed, you can enable Set default and provide a fallback value.
This is useful for assigning a fixed company, location, job type, category, expiry date, or other value to all imported jobs where the source does not provide one.
Post-process Filters
Post-process filters are applied after the jobs have been retrieved from the provider.
Use them when you need to include or exclude jobs based on fields returned in the preview, independently of the provider’s own filters. You can filter by any of the fields available on the feed.
Save Template
Save the current configuration as a template if you want to reuse the provider, filters, mappings, defaults, and import options later.
Templates can also be used to configure scheduled imports (premium plans only).
Import Options
Before importing, review the available import options, including:
- Importer author
- Job limit
- Active post-process filters
Limit Imported Jobs
Optionally limit the number of jobs imported during this run. This limit is applied after the preview and post-process filters.
The section also displays a summary of the active post-process filters and the number of jobs ready to import.
You’re ready to control your imports!
