Abstract
Techniques for standardizing and deduplicating unpaid job postings obtained from third-party systems are described. An unpaid job posting is obtained by a social networking service from a third-party system. The title and description of the unpaid job posting are standardized and combined into a standardized unpaid job posting. A deduplication process is performed to prevent the standardized unpaid job posting from replacing a paid job posting within the social networking service, and to prevent the standardized unpaid job posting from replacing a more authoritative, unpaid job posting within the social networking service.
