HTTP is our preferred method for posting vacancies as a success/failure or more details response is available almost immediately.
We can send the data as name/value pairs using a GET or POST. This is identical to a standard HTML Web form, or as specific data with any specific Content-Type. This would be similar to standardised XML feeds.
We will look inside the returned HTTP response and look for specific words, phrases, structures that would indicate success or failure or a more detailed message. Thus integration can often be completed with minimal, if any, changes at the job board end.
In the case of a current web-site with a single login and job posting page Conkers.net can emulate a web browser and submit login details followed by job details. This means many job boards that already have a means for a client to login and post vacancies manually are supported, alternatively bespoke integration can be investigated.
