What is a job aggregator?

Job aggregators are like search engines for job posts. Job aggregators crawl career sites all over the web to scrape job posts and consolidate them into one easily searchable database.

Massive job boards like Indeed, Ziprecruiter, and even Linkedin are popular examples of job boards that take advantage of job aggregation to amass a huge number of job posts and attract job seekers.

Why do job seekers use job aggregators?

Because job aggregators don't rely solely on direct postings, they tend to have many more job posts than their counterparts who aren't taking advantage of job aggregation.
​
The larger quantity of job posts leads to an increased amount of search traffic from search engines like Google that index the aggregated job posts.
​
Job seeker engagement also goes up as the number of job posts on a job board increases, as long as the quality of the job posts doesn't suffer.
