  • Job details (introduction, tasks, profile, benefits, contact info, keywords)

  • Salary, layout, company, billing, and recruiter information
  • Additional attributes (sender ID, organisation ID, action type)
• Action Support: Supports all StepStone Push actions: INSERT, UPDATE, OFFLINE, TRANSLATE.
