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)

For the pilot, success = paid employer postings live and producing applies on at least 3 of the following within the engagement window:

• Indeed (organic + sponsored)

• ZipRecruiter

• LinkedIn Jobs

• Google for Jobs (structured-data indexing)

• Talent.com (already in flight)

• Glassdoor / Adzuna / Jooble / Careerjet (any combination)

…with verifiable apply-click data flowing back into our tracking endpoint.

________________________________________

What we are NOT looking for

• "I'll submit your URL to 100 job sites" SEO-style spam services

• Resellers of generic feed-blasting tools with no board relationships

• Anyone unfamiliar with the difference between indexing, scraping, and publisher-approved syndication

• Anyone who cannot produce evidence of past placements

________________________________________

Next step

Selected candidates will receive the full Scope of Work (Step 2) including:

• Feed URL and schema

• Current employer posting volume and pricing tiers

• Apply-tracking endpoint spec

• Milestone payment schedule tied to verified placements

• NDA (standard mutual)

• Option to convert to monthly retainer

________________________________________

To apply: Send the 6 items above. Shortlisted applicants will be contacted within 5 business days with the full SOW and an NDA.

Independent specialists and small recruitment-marketing agencies welcome. Programmatic platform reps (Appcast, Pandologic, Joveo, Recruitics, Recruitology) also encouraged to apply.
