Add your jobs using XML Feed
Providing us with XML feed is the fastest way to add your jobs on recruit.net. It also helps save your resources because we only need to access the file once a day. It does not matter if you have thousands of jobs or only a few jobs we just need to access a single file to add all your jobs.
We can add different types of XML feed formats but if you do not have an existing feed yet then we suggest that you use the following XML format. If you have any questions or are facing any difficulties with the XML format you can contact us.
