Distribute job postings to ZipRecruiter via an XML job feed

Steps
Set up a hosted XML feed (or use ZipRecruiter's Partner Integration Toolkit) with a <source> root element containing one <job> element per open requisition
Populate each <job> with a unique alphanumeric reference ID plus required fields like title and full description, wrapping free-text/HTML content in CDATA sections or properly XML-encoding special characters
Declare the correct character encoding in the XML header, and include every currently-open job on each feed generation — the feed represents the full live job set, not just new or changed jobs
Optionally add a CDATA-wrapped <interview_json> tag to attach screening questions to a job
Register the feed URL with ZipRecruiter through your employer/partner account and confirm ingestion via the ZipRecruiter dashboard or partner reporting
Remove a job from the feed (rather than just flagging it) to take the posting down on ZipRecruiter's next crawl
Known gotchas
The feed must list every job that should currently be live each time it's fetched — omitting an unchanged-but-still-open job can cause it to be dropped rather than left alone
Unescaped special characters or missing CDATA wrapping in title/description fields is a common cause of feed parsing failures
This is a separate integration path from Indeed's feed/API — tags, validation rules, and partner credentials are ZipRecruiter-specific and not interchangeable
