How to bulk import job listings ?

Hi @mymindrules

Sorry for the delay,
Could you please clarify the information, do you need just a bulk import of the demo data or do you have CSV, XML or other files exported in some structure from your old system?

Let me know these details,
Best Regards!

We have jobs in csv format which we would like to import in our system.
How can we do it?

Hi @mymindrules

The import through CSV files from 3rd-party services is every time the custom work is based on the already exported CSV file.

See how to use the PHP functions for parsing the CSV files
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9139202/how-to-parse-a-csv-file-using-php

Then please use in the row’s “foreach” the next function for inserting the Jobs Posts:

$meta_input = array(
        'jb-location-type'       => $location_type,
	'jb-location'            => $location,
	'jb-application-contact' => $app_contact,
        'jb-company-name'        => $company_name,
	'jb-company-website'     => $company_website,
	'jb-company-tagline'     => $company_tagline,
	'jb-company-twitter'     => $company_twitter,
	'jb-company-facebook'    => $company_facebook,
        'jb-company-instagram'   => $company_instagram,
	'jb-expiry-date'         => $expiry,
);

$job_data = array(
	'post_type'    => 'jb-job',
	'post_author'  => $user_id,
	'post_parent'  => 0,
	'post_title'   => $title,
	'post_content' => $content,
	'post_status'  => $status,
        'meta_input'   => $meta_input,
);

Let me know if you have other questions,
Best Regards!

Thanks a lot.
Is there any plugin add on which can help to import jobs in bulk?

We have Data in csv format which we can convert in any format if there is any plugin which can help us to import the jobs in bulk.

Hi @mymindrules

Jobs listings are the WordPress native posts. Maybe there are 3rd-party plugins that provide to import CPT posts from CSV.

In any case (PHP custom import or 3rd-party plugin solution). Please pay an attention to the post data that I shared above.

Best Regards!

Thanks a lot.
I will try.

Hi @mymindrules

Perhaps your findings will be useful to someone. Thanks a lot.
