Job Distribution Specialist — Syndicate Employer Postings to Indeed, ZipRecruiter Jobs & Aggregators - Contract to Hire
Job Distribution Specialist — Syndicate Employer Postings to Indeed, ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn, Google for Jobs & Aggregators
Client: ThunderJaws Human Resources Solutions
Platform: Hire.ThunderJaws.com (live SaaS job board)
Engagement: Fixed-price pilot, ~4–6 weeks, with option to extend to monthly retainer
Budget range: TBD for the pilot
________________________________________
The problem we need solved
We are a recruiting marketplace with paying employers posting jobs on Hire.ThunderJaws.com. Our public XML/JSON job feed is already live (with per-partner UTM tracking and an apply-redirect endpoint).
We need someone who can actually get our paid employer postings placed on, indexed by, and driving applies from the major external job boards and aggregators — not just submit feed URLs into a contact form and hope.
Current state:
•XML feed: live and validating
• Talent.com publisher application: submitted, awaiting reply
• Indeed, ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Google for Jobs, Adzuna, Jooble, Careerjet, Monster, SimplyHired: not yet onboarded
• Apply-click logging: built (per-job, per-partner)
• Stripe-paid "boost" tier for employers: planned, not launched
________________________________________
What we need (Step 1 — Initial Review)
Apply with a short proposal (1 page max) covering:
1. Your background — years in job distribution / programmatic recruitment advertising / job-board partnerships. Name the boards and aggregators you have personally onboarded a publisher to (not "I've heard of them").
2. Direct contacts — do you have working relationships at Indeed, ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn Jobs, Google for Jobs, Talent.com, Adzuna, Jooble, Careerjet? Which ones can you accelerate onboarding for?
3. Technical fluency — confirm comfort with: HR-XML / Indeed XML feed spec, Google for Jobs JobPosting schema.org structured data, Indeed Apply / LinkedIn Limited Listings / ZipRecruiter Partner API, sponsored-slot CPC bidding (Appcast / Pandologic / Joveo a plus).
4. Proof of past placements — one anonymized case study showing: feed accepted → postings indexed → measurable applies/clicks delivered.
5. Approach to validation — how you will prove placements are real (publisher dashboard screenshots, apply webhook receipts, board-side click logs). Note: "I'll show you the job appears in a Google search" is not acceptable proof on its own.

Pilot goal (Step 2 — Full Scope released to shortlisted candidates)

What we are NOT looking for

• Anyone who cannot produce evidence of past placements
