Job Scraper

You might have jobs on your own website but do not have an ATS system, or your ATS provider charges a setup fee (and possibly annual fees) when you request to add FashionUnited as an option in your system.

What We Need From You

FashionUnited is the receiving party — we pull job data from your careerpage. The scraper “copies” jobs that are currently live on your career page. Jobs that are no longer there when the scraper checks the page will go offline on FashionUnited. A scraper basically “mirrors” the jobs on your page on our site.

To set up a scraper, share the link(s) to your career page with the jobs you want to scrape.

Not all career pages are set up in a way that a scraper tool will work. Also, if you make any changes to the structure of your website or career page, the scraper may stop working.

How Synchronisation Works

  • The scraper is synchronised once per day on weekdays, between 9 - 17h Amsterdam time.
  • New jobs will appear on FashionUnited after the next synchronisation.
  • Jobs that remain on the scraped page(s) for more than 10 weeks are automatically republished to keep them visible.
  • To take a job offline, simply remove it from your ATS — it will disappear from FashionUnited after the next sync.
  • Any text changes (such as updated descriptions or titles) need to be made in your own system. The updates will be reflected on FashionUnited after the next synchronisation.

Content and Layout

The job content (text, title, location, etc.) comes from the scraped page(s). The visual layout and design are determined by the FashionUnited job template, ensuring a consistent look across all listings on our platform.

  • Logo: Your logo as SVG (or PNG) file
  • Images: 1 to 3 images (landscape format, 970 px wide, high resolution). All images need to have the same exact dimensions. Image(s) showcasing your brand. Think of showing part of your collection, the office, the team - a motive which gives potential candidates a good first impression.
  • Video: 1 video link (public video on YouTube or Vimeo)

In case of several brands: provide above per brand. We can set up a template per category (HQ / Retail); categories need to be clearly distinguishable via the scraper.

Application Method

There are two options for handling applications:

  • Apply URL: Per job FashionUnited directs candidates to the vacancy or application form on your own career site. All applications will then be managed through your own applicant tracking system (ATS). If you choose this option, let us know whether we should / can add a tracking parameter to the URL so you can monitor which applications come from FashionUnited.
  • Apply by Email: Provide an email address where applications should be sent. This option can replace an apply URL. Each time a candidate applies, an email notification will be sent to that address. You can also manage applicants through the FashionUnited Dashboard — contact our Customer Service team to request access.

Optional:

  • Which countries to exclude
  • Which positions to exclude

To set up a scraper, share the link to your career page with the Customer Service team via jobs@fashionunited.com.
