Migrating Job Posting API

The existing Job Posting API allows authorised third parties (such as clients, recruitment software providers and job distributors) to post jobs to SEEK on behalf of SEEK advertisers. The Job Ad Posting API allows jobs to be managed throughout their lifecycles.
This documentation compares the Job Posting API with the SEEK API for managing job ads on SEEK. For more general information, see the job posting use case documentation.

Migration guide summary

The SEEK API implements a new way to interface with and consume our job posting-related products.
At a high level, the differences include:

Data structure

The SEEK API replaces Job Posting API JSON responses with a GraphQL schema based on HR Open Standards . For most fields, there’s a direct mapping from the previous JSON structure to GraphQL.
The following examples compare the use case of retrieving a job from the Job Posting API with that of the SEEK API.

Event delivery

The SEEK API replaces advertisement polling with a new event mechanism. The PositionProfilePostedEvent event is emitted when the positionProfile has been posted.
The SEEK API’s event streams and webhook subscriptions replace the existing mechanisms to retrieve job ads for a particular hirer or entire partner.
