Backfill is a valuable feature that brings job posts from our partner platforms and showcases them in your association's freshly created career center. Think of it as a mirror that reflects content from other sources and displays it seamlessly on the new platform. The primary purpose of Backfill is to provide a live demonstration of what the freshly created platform will look like after it starts generating organic traffic. It is important to note that backfill is not a final product; rather, it serves as a temporary solution to add content and value to your career center during its early stages.
Imagine you've just launched a brand new platform, and while it's promising, there are still not enough Job Posts to keep users engaged. Here's where backfill steps in to save the day! Backfilling essentially involves tapping into the vast pool of job advertisement pieces and matching them based on relevant titles, company names, and descriptions. These job posts are then displayed on your platform, allowing users to access a diverse range of opportunities right from the start.
While backfill is a brilliant strategy to kickstart your platform's journey, it's essential to understand that it is not a long-term solution. Instead, it acts as a booster rocket during the initial stages of platform development. As the platform gains momentum and attracts its organic user base, the reliance on Backfill gradually diminishes. Our support team can help you manage all incoming posts by blocking those you do not see fit.
Backfill serves as a powerful tool to supplement content on a freshly created platform and engage users during its nascent stages. By displaying news pieces from partner platforms, it provides users with a glimpse of the platform's potential and value. However, it's crucial to remember that backfill is not a permanent solution and should be used strategically to transition your career center into a self-sustaining and thriving community.
So, embrace Backfill as a catalyst for growth and embark on your career center's journey to success!
