1. **Select category**: This field is the category dropdown. When the admin selects one of the categories from the dropdown, the jobs backfilled by this backfiller are mapped to this category.
2. **Limit:** This field is used to set the number of jobs backfilled each time the backfiller runs.
   1. Currently, we support only 200 backfilled jobs every 24 hours.
3. **Job Title:** This field will allow you to enter the keywords related to the job that may be the job title.
   1. For example: Developer, Engineer, Lawyer, etc.
4. **Keywords:** This field will allow you to enter the relevant keywords that may be part of the job description.
5. **Location & Region**: These fields will allow you to select jobs from the selected country, city, and state. This helps narrow down the geographic area from which the jobs can be fetched.\
   \
   **NOTE**: Location (Country) is a mandatory field.

Once you fill in all the above details, click on the "Create Backfiller" button and the backfilling will start adding the jobs on the platform.<br>
