## Why Dayforce jobs data is confusing

The Dayforce API (formerly Ceridian Dayforce) is a per-tenant REST API for enterprise HCM - payroll, benefits, time, and recruiting - authenticated with each customer's own credentials against their Dayforce instance. It is scoped to one organization's data and is not a public endpoint that lists job postings across companies.

Dayforce Recruiting powers public career sites where customers publish open roles, but there is no public list endpoint to enumerate Dayforce tenants or aggregate their postings. JobsPipe indexes the public Dayforce career-site postings it can identify and normalizes them into the same JSON shape as every other source.

## Workarounds

### Use the Dayforce REST API

Right for one customer's HCM data once you have their instance credentials. It is per-tenant and authenticated - not a cross-company job feed.

### Scrape individual Dayforce career sites

Possible for a company whose Dayforce career URL you know. Subject to rate limits, rendering quirks, and no tenant discovery.

### Use JobsPipe

Public Dayforce career-site postings under one endpoint, normalized - no per-tenant credentials, no slug discovery.

## FAQ

### Is the Dayforce API a public job board API?

No. The Dayforce REST API is a per-tenant, customer-authenticated HCM API. It is not designed to return job postings across companies. JobsPipe is useful when you want public Dayforce career-site postings without per-tenant credentials.

### Is Dayforce the same as Ceridian?

Yes. Ceridian rebranded its HCM platform to Dayforce, so "Ceridian Dayforce API" and "Dayforce API" refer to the same product. JobsPipe surfaces public postings from career sites on either branding.

### How fresh is Dayforce data?

Public Dayforce career-site postings are re-crawled at least every 24 hours.

### Does JobsPipe expose Dayforce payroll or employee data?

No. JobsPipe reads only public job postings - never payroll, benefits, or employee records.

## Dayforce API documentation

Dayforce's developer documentation lives at developers.dayforce.com. The REST API is per-tenant: you authenticate against a specific customer's Dayforce instance with credentials they provision, then read or write that organization's HCM data. There is no public, unauthenticated postings endpoint and no list endpoint to enumerate Dayforce customers. JobsPipe's normalized JSON schema is documented at /docs and uses the same shape across Dayforce, Workday, Greenhouse, and 30+ other sources.

## Dayforce API integration

A single-tenant Dayforce integration - sync employees, pull payroll, push candidates - uses the customer's instance credentials against the Dayforce REST API. For cross-tenant aggregation where you want public job postings across many companies that run Dayforce career sites, JobsPipe is the integration: one API key, public Dayforce postings normalized into the same JSON schema as 30+ other ATSs.
