A recruiter’s speed is their reputation. The first recruitment agency to find an opening has the best shot at placing a candidate. Wait too long, and the job will be flooded with applicants. As in recruitment, speed is everything.
That is why Pline automates job discovery, giving your agency the first-mover advantage. No more chasing after lost possibilities as you become the go-to source for high-quality jobs. But how does it work?
Simple Setup, Seamless Sourcing
One of Pline’s standout features is its simplicity. Developed as a browser extension, Pline requires no complex setup or infrastructure to install and run. As a recruiter, you can:
- Instant Start: Download Pline and get started in minutes.
- Ready-To-Use Workflows: Use prebuilt workflows to gather job postings from multiple websites automatically
- Custom Integration: Create custom workflows in minutes for any job site not already in Pline’s prebuilt workflows library
By eliminating manual data collection, your recruitment agency saves hours of tedious work. This efficiency translates into reduced operational costs and more job opportunities for your clients.
Expand With Efficient Teams
Managing job data extraction and sourcing across a growing recruitment team can be challenging. Pline scales effortlessly to accommodate agencies of all sizes by offering:
- Quick Adoption: Onboard new team members in minutes.
- Streamlined Data: Prevent duplication with shared processes and datasets.
- Real-Time Security: Role-based permissions protect sensitive data.
With everyone working from the same real-time datasets, your agency can maintain operational efficiency while expanding its recruiting efforts.
Insights in an Instant
Instant access to data means instant action. With automated data extraction processes, Pline instantly extracts real-time job descriptions, allowing agencies and consultants to spot emerging trends faster.
This level of speed and accuracy opens the door to critical insights, including:
- Which technologies appear in the most job listings?
- What industries are posting the most new roles?
- Which job titles are showing up more frequently?
Decisions are no longer based on speculation when data extraction is this fast. You move with confidence and act before others even see the shift.
Smarter Hiring Starts Here
Not every job listing is a real opportunity. Many companies flood job boards with ghost jobs that are never intended to be filled. Others post job openings as marketing tactics or to collect candidate information without actual hiring intent.
With real-time data extraction, Pline helps agencies speed up, cut through the noise, filter out misleading job postings, and focus on genuine hiring trends.
By analyzing vast amounts of job data, agencies can:
- Detect: Companies that repeatedly post the same roles without making hires.
- Identify: Industries where inflated job listings create a false sense of demand.
- Ignore: Spam job postings that waste time and mislead job seekers.
With Pline, recruitment agencies gain a clearer view of the job market, ensuring they connect clients with genuine opportunities and maintain their reputation as a trusted hiring partner.
Authentic Opportunities, Amazing Careers
As agencies eliminate spam postings and misleading job opportunities, turnover rates decline as candidates apply for genuine roles, leading to stronger job satisfaction and lower attrition.
With real-time data extraction as a starting point, Pline enables agencies to :
- Prioritize Stability: Target companies with high employee retention.
- Spot Turnover: Identify frequent job repostings and unstable roles.
- Long-Term Matches: Connect candidates with career-aligned opportunities.
With Pline, recruitment agencies connect candidates with real, stable job opportunities, strengthen their credibility, improve retention rates, and enhance overall client satisfaction.
Real-Life Use Case
Let’s explore how Pline effortlessly extracts job market data from popular job boards like Glassdoor, making recruitment smarter and faster.
Step 1: Identify Your Data Needs and Run Pline Extension
A recruiter wants to analyze which backend programming language is most in demand in the USA. With new job postings appearing every minute on job portals like Glassdoor, Pline’s automated process is an efficient solution for data extraction.
- To start, install the Pline extension, open Glassdoor’s job listing page, and select Automated Data Extraction Mode.
Step 2: Configure Automated Data Extraction Workflow
- Select Build Workflow, choose Vertical List as the layout, and group similar items, such as job titles, to help Pline recognize patterns and extract data efficiently.
Select the Job_title as data type (Link) to extract additional information about the job descriptions.
- You can set up Pagination by choosing the Load More Button, as Glassdoor uses “Show More Jobs” to display additional listings.
- Once pagination is configured, select the required fields from the detail page, such as Job Title, Company Name, and Location, and assign appropriate field names.
Preview the sample data. If everything looks correct, name the workflow and save it.
Step 3: Run the Workflow To Extract Data and Export For Analysis
Click “Use Workflow Now” to start extraction, enter a dataset name, set a limit (100 records in this example), and click “Create dataset.”
Once Pline completes extraction, download the data in a CSV or Excel Sheet and use it to analyze hiring trends, salary insights, and market demands efficiently.
Step 4 (Optional ): Team Collaboration
Oftentimes, recruitment is a team effort, and Pline makes it seamless.
- Invite team members directly from the Team section in the Pline Platform.
- Enter email addresses and assign roles (Admin or Contributor).
Now, your entire agency effortlessly shares datasets and workflows, ensuring continuous data extraction even when you are away.
You can quickly adapt the Glassdoor example, create multiple automated data extraction workflows for other job boards, and gain even deeper insights about the job market.
With Pline, recruiters save hours of manual work, extract real-time job market data, and make informed hiring decisions faster than ever.
