Optimize Job Listings for Simply Hired Search - Uploading Feeds and Concluding Details
(Page 5 of 5 )
Uploading your new XML feed can be accomplished 3 ways. Here’s how Simply Hired describes it:
- HTTP: post your feed to your website where we can grab it (with or without a password)
- FTP-1: post your feed to your FTP server, which has an account setup for us
- FTP-2: post your feed to our FTP server, which has an account setup for you
If you are submitting a feed to SimplyHired, fill out this feed submission page. You can also submit the URL of a webpage by filling out the form on this page.
If you want to remove a job from the indexes, don’t contact Simply Hired. Remove the job from your XML feed and Simply Hired will drop it next time the crawler reads your feed. In most cases, it should drop within a day or two. Also, like optimizing for any search engine, the rules are likely to change. So keep up to date.
With this new information, you can add a new optimization service for your clients or employers. Placing jobs on company websites and getting them listed in vertical search engines like Simply Hired helps recruiters and companies to cut time in recruiting. Your familiarity with this straightforward process allows you to further optimize a website, and adding new services you can provide always looks good.
Job meta search is going to continue to grow. Just like you need to tweak a page to be found easily in Google, you need to consider how you will get the job listings of your website noticed. Even a brand like Pepsi that hardly needs any help with recognition in Google's SERPs might have to consider how to get job postings out, so that they can be found by people not coming to their corporate page.
