For job boards and school districts
California School Jobs reads public job postings so we can email job seekers when a new job fits them: EDJOIN, SchoolSpring's California listings, the LAUSD careers site, San Francisco Unified's Red Rover board and San Juan Unified's AppliTrack board. Every alert links back to the original posting, where people apply. We don't copy job descriptions; we show the job title, employer, pay, hours and dates.
How our crawler behaves
- It identifies itself:
CaliforniaSchoolJobsBot/1.0 (+https://californiaschooljobs.com/bot) - One request at a time, at least a second apart.
- It checks EDJOIN for new postings about every 10 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes at night, usually with a single small request. Other boards are checked every 30 minutes to few hours, with one request per board.
- It opens each posting page once, when the posting is new, and does one full pass overnight.
- It follows robots.txt, slows down automatically on errors, and stops for hours if a site says "too many requests."
