How we source and verify jobs

MediJobs is an independent index of official government medical recruitment notices. Here's where our data comes from, what we treat as authoritative, and how we crawl responsibly.

Official-source indexing

Every listing on MediJobs is derived from an official recruitment notice published by a government medical institution or recruiting authority. We link back to that source on every job, and we re-check listings continuously so deadlines and statuses stay current. We aggregate notices — we never run recruitment, collect application fees, or accept documents.

Where our listings come from

Central institutes

AIIMS, JIPMER, PGIMER, ESIC and similar — indexed directly from each institution's official recruitment pages.

Canonical source

State health, NHM & MRB

State health departments, National Health Mission portals, and Medical Recruitment Boards publishing official notices.

Canonical source

District & hospital sources

District health societies and individual government hospitals, where they publish their own official notifications.

Canonical source

Secondary monitors

Discovery-only signals that point us to a notice. These are never treated as canonical — we always trace back to the official source before publishing.

Discovery only — not canonical

Secondary monitors are used only for discovery — to find that a notice exists. They are not authoritative, and a listing is only published once it can be tied back to the official source.

The “Official Source Verified” badge

When a listing is indexed directly from the institution's own website and meets our confidence threshold, we show an Official Source Verified badge. It means the notice is linked to the official institution's website — it does not mean MediJobs is a government body or that the listing is endorsed by anyone. MediJobs is an independent aggregator.

Crawler ethics

We respect robots.txt and configured crawl-delay directives.
We do not bypass CAPTCHAs, logins, or paywalls, and we do not scrape behind authentication.
We fetch at a polite rate and identify ourselves; we cache aggressively to minimise load on source sites.
We index notices and link back to the source — we do not republish copyrighted documents as our own.

For institutions

If you operate a government medical institution and would like a notice corrected, delisted, or its source updated, please contact us. Anyone can also report a suspicious or incorrect listing from its job page — no account required.
