Definition

Syndication

The distribution of one listing across many boards through feeds and partnerships.

Large aggregators exchange or sell feeds. A listing entering the network appears on partner sites automatically, often with a new ingestion date that replaces the original publication date.

Syndication is why posting dates are unreliable across sources, and why the earliest date found for a role is usually the truest one.
