How do I get Principal Financial Group's postings from the API?+
POST to /v1/jobs/search with company_name_or set to ["Principal Financial Group"] and status set to active. There is no domain filter; the company name is matched as it appears on the posting. Add job_title_or, remote or job_country_code_or to narrow the result, and discovered_at_gte to keep only roles sighted after a date.
How are roles attributed to Principal Financial Group?+
By the employer domain on the posting. When a board or ATS exposes the employer's website, JobsPipe resolves it to a domain and groups every posting under it; postings that only carry a company name are matched to a domain where the name is unambiguous. Domain attribution is a signal, not proof: a staffing partner can post under a client's name, and a subsidiary can post under its parent's domain.
