What does a job aggregator do?

A job aggregator is a Web site or service that collects job openings from various sources and displays them in one place. Job aggregators often collect jobs from company sites, job boards and other sources and then display them in a searchable format on their own website

How does a job aggregator work

A job aggregator collects job postings from various sources and then they are analyzed, categorized and indexed for easy searching. The job openings are then presented on the job aggregator’s Web site. Users can search for jobs by entering search terms such as position, location or company. The job aggregator then displays a list of relevant job postings. Some job aggregators also offer a subscription service that automatically notifies users of new jobs that match their search criteria.

How important are job aggregators

Job aggregators can play an important role in the job search because they make it easy for job seekers to find jobs from different sources in one place. Overall, job aggregators are a useful tool for employers and job seekers. It helps to get a wider reach for the job posting because the job posting is visible to a larger audience. This can make the job search more efficient because employers can post job openings on multiple sources rather than just on their own Web site or job site. This can lead to more applications from qualified candidates. On the other hand, job aggregators can also incur additional costs when organizations want to post their job openings on these websites

Examples of job aggregators

There are some great job aggregators that are popular and have a wide reach, such as:

• • Indeed is one of the largest job aggregators in the world, with job postings from companies in many different countries and industries.

• • LinkedIn is a professional network with a built-in job search engine. It focuses primarily on positions in professional services.

How do you choose a job aggregator?

There are a number of factors to consider when choosing the best job aggregator for your situation:

• • Range: Look at how many job openings the job aggregator has and in how many regions and sectors they are available. The greater the reach, the more likely you are to find the relevant candidate.

• • Search function: Make sure the job aggregator has a user-friendly search function that helps candidates find jobs that match the search criteria.

• • Quality of jobs: Some job aggregators have better quality jobs than others. Read reviews from employees or other users to see if the jobs on the site are relevant and reliable.

• • Subscription service: Some job aggregators offer subscription services that automatically notify users of new jobs that match their search criteria. This is a useful feature for candidates who are actively searching.

• • Costs: Some job aggregators charge money for posting jobs; others are free. Determine if the cost of posting a job is commensurate with the benefits you expect.

• • Reputation: Look at the job aggregator’s reputation. Read reviews from employers and employees, and see if the job aggregator is recommended by other companies or organizations.

By considering these factors, you can make an informed choice about the best job aggregator for your situation

How does a job aggregator fit into a good candidate experience?

A job aggregator can be an important part of a good candidate experience because it makes the job search easier for job seekers. By collecting job postings from different sources in one place, a job aggregator can help job seekers find relevant jobs faster and easier. This allows them to apply more efficiently and have a greater chance of finding a suitable job

In addition, a job aggregator can also play a role in improving communication between employers and job seekers. Many job aggregators provide a platform on which employers and job seekers can communicate, such as direct messages or responses to job postings. This can improve communication between the two parties and allow for faster processing of job applications. See also our article The Optimal Candidate Experience for other helpful tips

Finally, a job aggregator can also play a role in improving the transparency of the application process. Many job aggregators offer information about the application process, including the expected time for a response, or an indication of whether the position is still active. This can help manage job seekers’ expectations and prevent them from wasting time on applications that are no longer current
