By combining access to jobs from JobServe via RSS feeds and web syndication from FeedDigest, here are some bang up-to-date jobs pulled straight from the JobServe database.
IT Jobs in Blackpool
VB.Net, SQL and XML Developer Jobs in Lancashire
The inclusion of syndicated live search content from other sources on a web site is a marketing term called RSS Radar and will be done to death in the next few months. Borrowing content from other peoples sites is the main jist of Web 2.0 (the next evolution of the Web), this is RSS's raison d’être. This sample was knocked up in a matter of minutes and required no coding effort thanks to services such as Peter Cooper's FeedDigest.
Win, Win
For companies with the Broker business model (such as JobServe), they can really benefit from providing other sites with the ability to syndicate their content because applicants need to visit their site to contact the agent who originally advertised the position. It also demonstrates that they have a winning technical strategy. It enables them to get their adverts in front of more eye balls. Content sites also benefit because they are able to provide up-to-date relevant information from other peoples databases that is of interest to their audience.
Risks
Of course it is not all rosey. There are risks associated with including other peoples content on your site. There is nothing stopping JobServe from posting "Tim is a la dee da" and it being incorporated onto my site! Choose who you syndicate wisely!
