After months of testing with numerous partner sites DirectEmployers Association makes their JobCentral jobs API available to the public.

The JobCentral XML API can provide FREE and EASY job content to websites without the need to bulk up on servers or develop search technology. JobCentral’s API will run in the background providing search and job content seamlessly through the partner’s domain. JobCentral’s feed contains original jobs, no spam, no duplicates, only current openings, and direct application connections for jobs seekers to the corporate Applicant Tracking Systems.

Joel aka ‘Cheez’ was the first to spring JobCentral’s new API on the world during our final testing back in November with the following interview. He asked all of the right questions so I thought, what the heck?

Cheez- Why open an API?
Chad- Hundreds of sites have been taking JobCentral’s XML downloads for years. Unfortunately most of the smaller sites could not handle the size of our files, so an open API was the next logical step in helping smaller companies/sites fully embrace JobCentral’s National Labor Exchange efforts.

Cheez- How do you choose who gets access and who doesn’t?
Chad- The API will be open to anyone. Interested parties will request an API key and JobCentral staff will review their site to ensure the JobCentral content is not used in a questionable manner.

Cheez- Do you plan on monetizing the API (if not already)?
Chad- No.

Cheez- For sites currently using your API, what has been the early feedback?
Chad- The feedback has been incredibly positive due to the ease of set-up, flexibility, and the cost (FREE) doesn’t hurt either. [Note: Partner site DisaboomJobs.com represents a live example of the JobCentral API.]

Cheez- How about customization? If an association in New York just wants NY content, for example, will you parse their database as such?
Chad- Yes, participating sites will have the flexibility to geo-target for local jobs, military crosswalk capabilities are available and much more.
