The Job Post API call allows you to post job ads on HotJobs in real time. You must supply a valid session token when posting a new job ad. The job ad can be posted as public or private. Jobs posted as public consume credit and are searchable by Job Seekers. Jobs posted as private do not consume credit and are not available to Job Seekers. The Hot Jobs Job Id and other job related details (see response xml below) are returned after a successful job post. The Hot Jobs Job Id is a unique auto-generated ID assigned by HotJobs. The Hot Jobs Job Id, user-specified Job ID, or IO/PO Number can be used for calling the Job Edit, Job Delete and Job Refresh API calls sequentially.
You can specify the process you want candidates to use when applying for the job in the ApplyType parameter. The default process is to apply through Yahoo! HotJobs i.e., HotJobs Apply. In this model, you let Yahoo! HotJobs capture candidate data, and view resumes online any time you want via Yahoo! HotJobs Recruitment Center. You can also specify email addresses where you want Yahoo! HotJobs to forward resumes. The other option is use to Direct Apply credit and request job seekers to contact your company directly. If you use the Direct Apply process, HotJobs cannot track job candidates or provide a complete picture as to how your job ad is performing.
