Hiring

Bob's Hiring API allows you to fetch job ads from Bob's careers page and post them to your custom careers page

Guidelines for using the Hiring API:

  • Bob's Hiring API allows you to fetch job ads, from Bob's careers page and post them to your custom careers page. Additionally, you will get a link to an application form for new candidates to apply for the job.

  • Fetching lists and details: You can either fetch a list of job IDs and then retrieve each job's details using the GET endpoint, or directly fetch the details in the initial list.

  • Field specification: Always specify which fields to fetch using the 'fields' parameter in the request body. For a detailed list of available fields, refer to the schema in the '200 response' section.

  • To retrieve job ads: Send an empty array in the 'filters' parameter in the request body to retrieve all active job ads, or specific filters in the request body to narrow the results.

  • Posting on your career page: For each job ad retrieved from Bob, create a corresponding page on your career page. Ensure the URL for each job ad on your website matches the custom format defined in Bob, using a structure like https://yourdomain.com/careers/{jobId}.

  • Application link: To allow new candidates to apply, ensure you retrieve and utilize the 'jobAd/applyUrl' field from each job ad's response. This URL links to an application form hosted by Bob, which automatically submits the candidate's details back to Bob.
