Jobshout automatically publishes Jobs via RSS feed

Jobshout RSS feed link

Did you know this?

Whenever a Jobshout user signs up for new Jobshout account and starts publishing jobs on their web site, Jobshout also creates the HTML code which publishes current jobs via RSS. Most browsers will understand this code and will allow users to look and search jobs via RSS.
Jobshout's RSS server also creates the necessary RSS feed of current jobs ready to be served over the internet.

Please check out links below to see Jobshout RSS in action.

feed://jobs.workstation.co.uk/rss.xml
feed://genericsoftware.jobshout.co.uk/rss.xml

By the way, if you want to give others the RSS link for your Jobshout job board, so that candidates can get the latest jobs via RSS automatically, just remember that the RSS feed URL will be based on your job board web site address (URL) and/or unique job board account code as explained below:

If the address for your job board is http://jobs.xyz.co.uk/, the RSS feed will be at://jobs.xyz.co.uk/rss.xml

More information about Jobshout RSS feed URL

Jobshout RSS feed is published in many ways from Jobshout but two well known techniques are as follows:

If your job board is published on the jobshout.co.uk domain, the RSS link will be simply simply:

feed://{Your Jobshout Account Code}.jobshout.co.uk/rss.xml.

A working example RSS feed is feed://genericsoftware.jobshout.co.uk/rss.xml in which case genericsoftware is the unique Jobshout account code.

If your job board runs on your own domain, the link will be something like this: feed://jobs.xyz.co.uk/rss.xml. For example, the Workstation Jobshout job board is at http://jobs.workstation.co.uk. Its RSS feed is at feed://jobs.workstation.co.uk/rss.xml

Most RSS readers come with a scheduler, which will automatically update the jobs feed.

Theg ood news is that most mobile phones (especially iPhone) have an RSS feed reader so users will be able to look at your on their mobiles.

Enjoy!

Job Board Mirroring

Jobshout Mirror technology will make sure your job board is available online 24/7: The Jobshout mirror technology is now under development.

Jobshout job boards run from a web server. All servers can face problems and may go down at times due to unavoidable circumstances. For example server disks can fail, air conditioning failure can cause server downtimes in big data centres, as servers can automatically switch off if the temperature goes really high because of insufficient cooling. Under these circumstances Jobshout clients could be affected. As it is critical that applicants can search and apply for jobs at any time, our number one priority is to make service available at all times. So we are adding mirror functionality, which will allow us to serve data from another server. If you want more information about this service or you have any ideas about it, please email support@jobshout.co.uk

Some Jobshout news and developments

Intelligent links from a job page to other similar jobs
Your Jobshout job details pages now have links to similar jobs. When job details page is drawn it now creates links to other jobs that have the same market sectors and skills specified. Previously links were random.

Jobshout goes wherever you go today
The Jobshout back-end system works fully on an iPhone, which means consultants can not only add/update jobs on their website and search/contact applicants from an iPhone but can also check the progress of their jobs and stats.

Jobshout stats work really well on the iPhone BTW.

The iPhone might well be a godsend for consultants who work from home. Time is critical and the quicker you can find an applicant for a job, the better.

Generic Software install Jobshout

Here is a bit of PR from a new client Generic Software announcing their adoption of the Jobshout system:

Announcing Broadbean compatilbility

Good news for lots of UK agencies out there - we will be adding compatibility with the popular Broadbean job posting system. This will mean that you will be able to post your job ad to Jobshout and, in the process post it as well to any of the 700-odd job boards serviced by Broadbean.

It's something we're quite excited about, because it potentially represents a massive time-saving for recruiters.

We've begun the development, and expect to start serious testing some time this year, with launch of the service in Q1 2008.

Back in action again

Well, this blog has been languishing for a while, suffering the fate of many blogs - in other words getting set up in a fit of enthusiasm, and then getting forgotten about in days. The good news is that we have made a definite decision to resurrect it.

We'll be announcing new features through the blog, as they come online - which means that there is going to be regular content posted. And, of course, you can look forward to news, views and other good things relating to Jobshout, content management, search engine optimization, analytics, web recruitment and more. At least, that's the determination. The proof of the
pudding, as always...

Back soon.
