Abstract: Techniques for ingesting job listings are described. A job ingestion module of a social network system can access a seed uniform resource locator (URL), and identify a job URL from the seed URL. Additionally, the job ingestion module can obtain job attributes from the job URL. Furthermore, the job ingestion module can validate the obtained field attributes using member data from the social network system. Moreover, the job ingestion module can generate a job listing based on the validated job attributes. Subsequently, the job ingestion module can post the generated job listing.
