Adding Sources​

Sources are career websites or other URLs from which job postings are extracted. New sources can be added using the toolbar button:

Add a new source

  1. Provide Source Details: Enter a name for the new source and the URL.
  2. Configure Advanced Settings (Optional):
    • Pagination: Specify a CSS selector for pagination elements, such as a "Next" button. This ensures that job postings spread across multiple pages are fully extracted.
    • Element Selector: Provide a CSS selector for specific page elements to narrow down the content that needs to be searched for job postings, improving extraction speed and efficiency.
  3. Custom Favicon URL (Optional): Click on the icon next to "New Source" and provide a URL to a favicon. This is useful if the source page is hosted under a different domain than the company website.
