Some services such as /report return two "columns" : you represents the number of offer in your scope (i.e a site), market represents the number of offers of the whole market (i.e the UK)

Query filters are generally applied to both you and market columns.
Custom Market gives the possibility to apply filters only to the market column.
Typical custom market filters are site and company.

To create a Custom Market nest the chosen set of filters inside a mkt object.

In this example Custom Market represents the offers of the site Reed.co.uk (with key2):

{
  "mkt" : {
    "site" : "2"
  }
}

In this example Custom Market represents the offers of the site Reed.co.uk (with key2) and totaljobs.com (with key3) :

{
  "mkt" : {
    "site" : "2^3"
  }
}

In this example Custom Market represents the offers excluding the site Reed.co.uk (with key2):

{
  "mkt" : {
    "site" : "-(2)"
  }
}

In this example Custom Market represents the offers excluding the site Reed.co.uk (with key2) and totaljobs.com (with key3) :

{
  "mkt" : {
    "site" : "-(2^3)"
  }
}

In this example Custom Market represents the offers of the company Adecco:

{
  "mkt" : {
    "company" : "\"Adecco\""
  }
}

site filter accepts 4 special values G,N & F,P which represent 4 classifications that a site may have.

  • G : Generalist
  • N : Niche
  • F : Free posting
  • P : Paid posting

In this example Custom Market represents the offers of the sites which are of type niche AND accept free postings.

  "mkt" : {
    "site" : "N F"
  }
