Data Source Configuration

Updated over a week ago

A data source acts as your job database within the platform, a central hub that gathers, organizes, and maintains all live job listings. It integrates with your XML feed to serve as a structured foundation where titles, locations, companies, descriptions, and images are stored and standardized.

By configuring a data source, you ensure this information flows easily into the platform, keeping job data accurate, consistent, and always ready to power your campaigns at scale.

In this documentation, we’ll walk you through the steps on how to create and configure a data source.

Let’s get started 🚀

Step 1: Go to your workspace, and you will be navigated to the Job Library section of the interface.

Step 2: Select the Data Sources tab from the top menu bar.

Step 3: Click on the Create New icon at the top right of the interface.

You will navigate to the Import Method interface, where you can define how your XML job feed is connected, validated, and synchronized with the platform.

Step 4: The fields below are required to be filled:
