How-to: use Job Filters for Efficient Job List Creation

Learn how to effectively use job filters to refine the jobs in your data source.

Updated over a week ago

Introduction to Job Filters

Job filters allow you to refine the jobs from your data sources, providing you the ability to create a specific job list based on desired criteria in an easy way. You can set filters based on job-specific criteria such as job title, category, profile, location, company, country, language, reference number, and budget.

Why Use Job Filters

With job filters, our system can support you in managing your data source by filtering jobs into specific job lists. By creating separate job lists for the jobs in your data source you can apply tailored preferences on campaigns for specific parts of your data source.

Advantages of Job Filters

  • Opportunity to automate commercial flows.

  • Reducing time spent on ordering data sources as preparation for your campaigns.

  • User-friendly way to refine your feed and further analyze your job data.

  • Will allow you to push 1 job via a single campaign flow.

Requirements for Applying Job Filters

  • To apply filters to a desired field, it should contain input coming from your data source.

❗️You cannot filter on the ‘budget’ field if there is no information about the budget in your data source.

  • XML: the data source should have been uploaded successfully. The filter functionality will only work on jobs that do not have errors and appear in the ‘job library’ at the job list creation level.

Cases Where Job Filters Are Most Useful

  • For staffing agencies with large XML datasets from their website.

  • If you are selling social packages with fixed budgets and runtimes.

  • For recruitment organizations that have an urgency to create automated flows.

📝 Must-Knows About Job Filters

  • Job filters are always applied to job lists. This means that if you select a filter on the profile ‘Operator’, all new jobs with the profile ‘Operator’ will be included in the job list, and all jobs with another profile will be excluded from the job list.

  • You can remove or apply new filters to job lists after creating them. This will refresh your whole job list with the new filters applied.

Usage Guidelines

  • You can apply as many filters as you want to the data source.

  • You do not have to apply a filter. If you do not apply a filter, all the jobs in the data source will be used.

  • The functionality follows the logic ‘AND’. E.g. if you filter on for ‘Location=Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht’, it will filter for all jobs that have these cities as locations. If this this returns 200 jobs, and you then apply the filter ‘Profile=Waiters and Waitresses’, it will further filter the jobs that have these three cities AND have ‘Waiters and Waitresses’ as a profile. Other jobs with different locations will not be included, even if they match the profile.

Once this is completed, you should be able to effectively apply job filters to data sources, refine job lists based on specific criteria, and optimize their job list creation process for various purposes.
