JobGenie API

Submitted by Riges Younan on September 16, 2009 – 4:44 pmNo Comment

JobGenie has an API, which allows for a number of things. Your developers could integrate your CRM systems with it. You can create other applications that interact with our system, like a mobile phone application for your recruiters, where they can see an up to date list of jobs and the referrals they have received for those jobs.

Of course, we would be happy to assist in this process, so don’t hesitate to contact us.

If you are a developer, this article explains how to use our API. You can subscribe to our developer blog posts using your favourite RSS reader for more updates.

Let’s say you want to know which referrals have been made for a job.
Step 1: obtain an API key here - you must sign in from home page.
Step 2: study our demo applications
Step 3: obtain an OAuth library for your platform
Step 4: write your own application that uses the JobGenie API

By the way, if you are ever in a position where you need to build an API yourself, here are some hints.

Watch this Google Tech Talk by Joshua Bloch, called How To Design A Good API And Why It Matters. Also make you sure that you are familiar with OAuth, which is “an open protocol to allow secure API authorization in a simple and standard method from desktop and web applications.”

From our developers: Ratheesh and Sjors.
