NAME
WWW::Search::Jobserve - backend for searching www.jobserve.com
SYNOPSIS
use WWW::Search;
my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('Jobserve');
my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("(Fast Food Operative) and PERL");
$oSearch->native_query($sQuery, { job_category => 'it' });
while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())
{
print $oResult->url, "\n";
print $oResult->title, "\n";
print $oResult->description, "\n";
}
DESCRIPTION
This class is a Jobserve specialisation of WWW::Search. It handles making, retrieving and
interpreting Jobserve searches http://www.jobserve.com.
This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search
objects.
NOTES
This class can be used to query both the UK and Australian Jobserve sites, see below.
The search will terminate unless "job_category" is set in the native_query options.
The results are ordered Best Match first
(unless 'job_order' => 'DateTime' is specified).
OPTIONS
Parameters Available:
job_category job_type job_lookahead job_order jobserve_site
Job Category
Job Categories must be specified by setting "job_category" in the native_query
options:
$oSearch->native_query($sQuery, { job_category => 'it' });
The value of this is simply the prefix you see jobserve insert into the url once
you've clicked beyond the front page. E.g.
http://www.it.jobserve.com { job_category => 'it' }
http://www.engineering.jobserve.com { job_category => 'engineering' }
etc.
Job Type
Job Types are (Any|Contract|Permanent). To specifically search for one contract type,
set 'job_type' => (*|C|P) to the query options:
$oSearch->native_query($sQuery, { job_type => 'C', job_category => 'it' } );
The search defaults to "All"
Days Ahead
Choices of how many days to look ahead are (5|4|3|2|1|0). To specifically search for
x working days ahead, set 'job_lookahead' => (5|4|3|2|1|0) to the query options:
$oSearch->native_query($sQuery, { job_lookahead => '2', job_category => 'it' } );
The search defaults to 5
Result Order
Choices of how to order results are (Best Match|Latest Job). To alter the result
order, set 'job_order' => (Rank|DateTime) to the query options:
$oSearch->native_query($sQuery, { job_order => 'DateTime', job_category => 'it' } );
The search defaults to "Best Match".
Different Jobserve Sites
There are currently two Jobserve websites supported by this module namely United
Kingdom and Australia.
The search will default to the UK site unless the parameter, 'jobserve_site' =>
(uk|au) is set in the query options:
$oSearch->native_query($sQuery, { jobserve_site => 'au', job_category => 'it' } );
The search defaults to "uk"
Invocation
Invoke all parameters like so:
$oSearch->native_query($sQuery, { job_category => 'it',
job_type => 'C',
job_lookahead => '2',
job_order => 'DateTime',
jobserve_site => 'au', } );
