Job Distribution

Job distribution is the process of making job openings known to potential candidates. It is an important part of the recruiting process, as it helps to attract qualified candidates and fill open positions. The idea is to cast a wide net and make jobs discoverable in as many places as possible.

There are a variety of channels that can be used for job distribution, including:

• Job boards: Job boards are websites where employers can post job openings for free or for a fee. There are many different job boards available, each with its own target audience.
• Company career site: A company's career site is a great way to distribute job openings to passive candidates who may not be actively looking for a job. The career site should be well-designed and easy to navigate, and it should include a comprehensive list of open positions.
• Social media: Social media platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook can be used to distribute job openings to a wide audience. When posting job openings on social media, it is important to use relevant hashtags and keywords to reach the right candidates.
• Employee referrals: Employees can be a great source of qualified candidates. Many companies offer referral bonuses to encourage employees to refer their friends and colleagues for open positions.

The best way to distribute job openings will vary depending on the company and the position being filled. However, by using a variety of channels, employers can increase their chances of attracting qualified candidates for their open positions.

How Job Distribution Works

Most jobs that get distributed today are scraped or indexed by machines. A typical employer will have their jobs "scraped" from the career site/ATS by a programmatic job advertising company such as Appcast or Joveo. They then create a master index of those jobs and pay job board such as Indeed and Ziprecruiter to send candidate traffic to those jobs. The employer then pays a small fee for that click.

In some cases they may be also be charged a higher fee if that click turns into an applicant. That is called PPA (pay per applicant).
