You wish to fetch field "External Job Description" within a Job Requisition.

Is it possible to report the external description of all of the jobs that have been posted?

You have to find the field-id of the field-label called External Job Description

We can find this from Provisioning system.

Navigation

Provisioning --> Company Settings --> Managing Recruiting --> Import/Update/Export Job Requisition Template --> Export the Job requisition Template

 Within the XML, Search for the field-label "External Job Description".

We can see that the corresponding field-definition id is called extListingLayout.

Please form a Select Query using SFAPI to fetch the details of External Job Description as below.

SELECT extListingLayout from JobRequisition$### (Here, ### refers to the Job requisition Template id and differs from one account to another.)
