XML Feeds - Development Tools

The Project Plan describes different stages of Basic Jobs development and estimated timeline to help create project plans for Basic Jobs integration.

Project Plan

Building and integrating the XML feed involves development and testing efforts which can take anywhere between 2 - 8 weeks. We have created the project plan to help project managers and developers with the planning, timelines and help create checkpoints on different activities.

Below are the milestones definitions for Basic Jobs Integration Project Plan:

Time	Milestone	Description
One week	Self-Serve access provided by LinkedIn	Contact LL-BD@linkedin.com to request participation. Partner developers and project managers should review Basic Jobs documentation, align on requirements and discuss timelines with their LinkedIn Business Development contact to start development
1-4 Week	Development	Partners can reach out to the LinkedIn Business Development team to clarify their questions during the development phase. Once the XML feed is ready, share the link with the LinkedIn Business Development team for integration.
2-3 Weeks	Testing & Certification	LinkedIn Business Development team reviews the XML feed for schema and accuracy. They will provide feedback on changes required (if any). Once the changes have been incorporated and the integration is compliant, the partner is certified by LinkedIn
Day 1	Launch	Once certified, LinkedIn pushes the feed live and jobs start appearing on LinkedIn.com in 24 hours. LinkedIn Business Development team provides resources to help communicate the benefits of the integration to your customers
