Job Posting URL Validation Across Multiple Job Boards
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of recruiting applications face challenges in confirming the posting status of job requisitions on multiple job boards and manually finding these postings, which limits performance and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A technological solution that includes generating and analyzing Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) associated with posting platforms to automatically validate the posting status of job requisitions, using machine learning mechanisms to identify patterns and similarities in URLs, and providing real-time updates to users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users manually check job posting status on multiple job boards, then they can confirm posting status, but it consumes significant time and effort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary validation system that acts as a mediator between the job posting platform and multiple job boards. This system automatically generates validation requests, tracks posting status, and notifies users of results, eliminating the need for users to manually check each board while ensuring reliable status confirmation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing the validation process to occur automatically without user intervention. The validation service autonomously monitors posting status across job boards and proactively notifies users of validation results, transforming a manual task into an automated self-serve process.
2Loss of information
If users manually search for job requisitions on job boards, then they can locate postings, but it is difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the validation service continuously monitors job boards for posting status changes and provides real-time feedback to users. This automated feedback loop eliminates the need for users to manually search and wait, providing immediate information about posting location and status.
Solution Approach 2:
The validation service performs preliminary actions by proactively searching for and validating job postings before users need to check them. The system anticipates user needs by automatically locating postings and preparing validation results, so information is ready when users access it.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the recruiting application integrates with multiple job boards, then it can transmit job requisitions, but users cannot confirm posting status
Solution Approach 1:
The validation service is designed as a universal system that can validate postings across multiple different job boards through a single interface. It performs multiple functions including status checking, location tracking, and notification delivery, providing comprehensive validation capability that works across all integrated platforms.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing posting platform validation. An embodiment operates by receiving a first and a second URL associated with a posting platform, and a first and a second parameter associated with the first URL or the second URL. The embodiment compares a first segment of the first URL and a second segment of the second URL, and compares a third segment of the first URL and a fourth segment of the second URL. The embodiment then determines a pattern based on the comparisons. The embodiment then generates a third URL associated with the posting platform based on the pattern, the first parameter and the second parameter, issues a query to the posting platform that includes the third URL, receives a response from the posting platform; and provides an output indicating whether the third URL is being provided by the posting platform.
