How does Merge map a Job's Remote_ID vs Job Code for Taleo?

The remote_id for a Job within Merge is mapped to a value that is not disclosed within the Taleo UI. This ID is only exposed in the API response as the e:Number field. See the below example:

{

    "data": {

        "e:State": {

            "e:RequisitionState": {

                "e:Number":  "1",

                "e:Description": {

                    "e:value": {

                        "#text":  "Open",

                        "@locale":  "en"

                    }

                }

            }

        },

        "e:Number":  "12345" -- remote id mapped to this value

        ... 

How do I find a job from Taleo within Merge?

Merge maps the Job code field to the ID next to or underneath the Job Name in the Taleo UI:

Hence, if you are looking for a given job and cannot find the remote_id, we recommend querying by the Job code!
