Singapore - Jobs feed

If you own a Classified Ads website with public advertisements, include your ads in Trovit and Mitula!
Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare a UTF-8 XML feed in the format specified for our Jobs vertical (see below)
2. Send the URL link where we can read your XML feed to this email (Example: http://www.yourdomain.com/wp_feed.xml)

Upon receiving your feed, we will index your ads in Trovit and Mitula as soon as possible.

If you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

XML FEED FORMAT

Here are some simple guidelines for preparing an XML feed. You can use our Technical Specifications to see value restrictions for each tag. If you would like additional information about the XML format, check out Wikipedia.

*The feed should be written in UTF-8. The file has one ‘trovit’ tag, and one or more ‘ad’ elements. Each ‘ad’ element has the following fields:

REQUIRED FIELDS

The following fields are required in the feed as they contain the minimum amount of information necessary for our system to include your ads in Trovit and Mitula.

• id: id of the ad on your website (numeric or alphanumeric, however it must be unique because we use it to avoid duplicate entries)
• url: URL of the ad on your website
• title: title of the ad (a concise summary of the listing which does not contain your website’s name or URL).
• content: description of the job (minimum of 30 characters). Please note that the quality of the description has a strong effect on the amount of visitors you will receive!

OPTIONAL FIELDS

Optional fields are not required in the feed. However, if you have the information, it’s best to include it! Trovit and Mitula’s algorithm prioritizes higher-quality ads, so including more information will optimize your positioning in our search engine!
