  "account": "Three major companies—O'Reilly Auto Parts, Dollar Tree, and Trane Technologies—publish their job listings on two different careers platforms: Phenom and Workday. Remarkably, the same job openings appear twice, once on each platform, due to a shared identifier known as the requisition ID. By examining the two APIs, it becomes evident that these job postings are not separate entities but rather two perspectives of the same job, refreshed at slightly different times.\n\nTo accurately identify and avoid duplication, the requisition ID serves as a crucial link between the two systems. For instance, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Dollar Tree, and Trane all share the same requisition IDs on both Phenom and Workday. By comparing the first 100 jobs from each platform, only 52 of them are identical, indicating that the rest are unique yet connected through this common identifier.\n\nA detailed analysis of the nightly job harvest, encompassing 2.77 million listings from 52,000 sources, revealed that 45,024 rows were duplicates. Specifically, O'Reilly Auto Parts had 19,080 duplicate jobs, Dollar Tree had 15,525, and Trane Technologies reported 1,731. Additionally, other companies such as Northrop Grumman, Applied Materials, and Morgan Stanley also had duplicate listings on Eightfold and Oracle platforms.\n\nIn order to maintain the integrity of the job listings, it is recommended to prioritize the primary source, which is Workday, while incorporating supplementary details from the front-end system. For example, Dollar Tree's Phenom listings include a salary range that is not available on their Workday listings, providing valuable information that should be retained.\n\nTo streamline job retrieval and eliminate duplication, the Hosted Job Listings API on Apify can be utilized. This API searches the nightly index and ensures each job is listed only once, preserving any additional details provided by the front-end system. Similarly, the Company Career Page Jobs Scraper enables users to search for jobs by company name, scraping both Phenom and Workday listings and maintaining a unique row per requisition. Lastly, the Company Career Page Jobs Scraper and tested curl commands are available for those seeking to access these job boards directly.",
