Job posting API

Post jobs to Jobze programmatically from your ATS or internal tools. Jobs posted via the API are identical to jobs posted through the form: same 60-day listings, same dashboard, applicants and analytics. API access is a paid add-on; see pricing.

Authentication

Create an API key from your dashboard and send it as a bearer token. Keys are shown once at creation, stored hashed, and can be revoked at any time.

Authorization: Bearer jbz_YOUR_API_KEY

Post directly from Claude

Jobze ships an MCP connector, so you can post jobs by simply asking Claude: paste a job description into a chat and say "post this to Jobze". Claude fills in the fields, you confirm, and the listing goes live.

Create an API key from your dashboard.
In Claude, go to Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector and paste this URL with your key:

https://jobze.co.uk/api/mcp?key=jbz_YOUR_API_KEY

The connector exposes a post_job tool. Treat the URL like a password: it contains your API key. The same authentication, validation, moderation and rate limits apply as for direct API calls.

Create a job

POST /api/v1/jobs with a JSON body. Returns 201 with the new listing on success.

curl -X POST https://jobze.co.uk/api/v1/jobs \
