job agencies will have a feed into them that will update hourly or daily with new jobs they have.
 
Company A goes to a recruitment company B and says they have positions available and then they're advertised if Company A wants them to.

This.

I have also heard of occasions when recruitment companies will 'invent' a job advert to go online with the sole intent of harvesting CVs for a specific area, which they can put on file for use when a relevant job does actually come in.
 
Its like a magic game of word and mouth, some companies come to the agencies and agencies sometimes go to the company, more often than not in a dry patch they will interview people who are trying to get a job to find out where's been offering jobs to try and gain business.

More often than not most companies put out jobs for their own company to boost their own companies image of providing jobs too. Bit rubbish if you don't know what you are looking for and definitely don't want to recruit people though...
 
Well i understand that they must be manualy putting jobs up, but there are thousands of jobs sites and they cant all be posted by agencies. So i'm just wondering how I can get some sort of job feed for a site i'm workin on :)
Either an agency or a company posting a job will choose what sites to put their jobs on. I'd imagine most agencies will have a feed directly to a number of job sites as I mentioned before.

There is no central feed though :confused: which it sounds like you're after. There are sites which just crawl other sites and link to the job on that job site rather than offering any direct application method.
 
What's so hard to understand? :confused:

Companies employ job agencies to find employees. To do this they will

  • Advertise the opening on job sites
  • Search through CVs for potential candidates, contact candidates and ascertain suitability before presenting candidate for an interview.

Because of the first thing, there are many jobs on many job sites - a lot of them repeated/copied and some even slightly re-worded to appeal to different people.

There is no "central feed" so you cannot simply jump past the agencies to get to the top of the line.
 
There ARE aggregator sites which trawl the internets and re-post all of the information online.

Agencies tend not to post too many jobs if they can as its expensive and you get every Tom Dick and Harry applying.

I also get NUMEROUS amounts of jobs boards contacting me to get them to post on their site 'for free' on a daily basis to improve their traffic.

Am having to manage the number of these as most are irrelevant to us.

Our recruitment software posts job adverts to the 3 major board we use (Jobsite/Monster/CWJobs) automatically if you tell it to. All my jobs come from companies I have developed a professional relationships with.

Most companies use recruitment agencies to do their filtering for them when they can't afford to pay someone 35K a year to do it full time or don't do enough recruitment to warrant it.
