Sample XML for Spurkle Job Feed

Please ensure that your XML validates and is formatted similar to that below. Spurkle is somewhat flexible on the fields you supply.
Required fields are:

  • Job Title
  • Job Description
  • Link to job on your site

In addition to the mandatory fields above, Spurkle also encourages supply of as many of the following as possible:

  • Job Location (town/city)
  • Salary
  • Duration
  • Application Deadline
  • Is it an agency job
  • Name of recruiter
  • Application contact
  • Type of contract
  • Date originally advertised
  • Employment benefits
  • Unique job identifier on your site (feed identifier)
  • Unique job identifier to job advertiser (internal reference)

Spurkle will check the XML validation of your feed and attempt to automatically map its fields to the Spurkle Engine. You will be asked to verify this mapping and can amend it if necessary
