SmartJobBoard

All in one solution

Avantages :

Loved that this product was all-inclusive. No need for additional products other than a domain name and email. I set up Stripe for payments, filled out the details, and could move on to sales and service within a day.

Inconvénients :

The price is far more than a blog or Wordpress plug-in. The deciding factor is whether your job board will be profitable enough to justify the costs. I've taken the chance and am enjoying the time saved on maintenance so far to focus on running my business.

My thoughts on Smart job board

Commentaires : Overall, my job board experience is positive, the job board is profitable and growing in popularity.

Avantages :

Off the shelf software that can get up and running quickly.The features and integrations with 3rd party software; ie Appcast, Zapier,Adzuna, etc is awesomeDesign and appearance is easy to change in the backend.

Inconvénients :

I can not think of any cons....They are on top of the game and always adding new features and capabilities.

Was Fantastic before changing business model

Commentaires : After spending time, energy and a lot of money to customize the software our market, we had to start from scratch which also cost time and money.

Avantages :

I had previously given this software 5 stars (2016). At that time you could purchase the software, host on your own server, have complete control to customize or even pay them for customization. We even received regular updates to the software (very reasonable fees). However, they stopped supporting that product and forced users to use their SaaS model where everything is hosted on their site with their limited customizations.

Inconvénients :

The part about not being able to download the software to use as you need. You cannot customize more than the limitations they offer. I am sure this is fine if you just want something easy and do not intend to grow. I had used their software and paid to improve it for three years and they change business models.

Very happy with SJB

Commentaires : Our previous job board was rather support heavy. We were pleasantly surprised after implementation when our volume of support calls dropped drastically. The support from SmartJobBoard has also been very good.

Avantages :

While we evaluated the most popular job boards used in our industry, we were pleasantly surprised that SmartJobBoard offered a free trial. The setup and customization options were very intuitive and the functionality was just what we were hoping for. They were also able to set up a full integration with our association management system for SSO (login), detection of member status for discounted pricing, and posting of activities to our company records in our back office system.

Inconvénients :

Users could login and see past invoices but the invoices didn't show the details of which jobs were on the invoice. That has since been updated and resolved.

Fantastic Job Board

Commentaires : Overall rating; 5/5 I highly recommend it to anyone. It's not exactly cheap, but it's more cost-effective than their other competitor (Job Board.IO) and will save you money, time, and headaches if you're using crappy Wordpress plugins.

Avantages :

Hands down their support, specifically Will - this guy has been amazing with helping us get everything set up effectively. It's a very easy software to navigate, and they have different themes that can be used. We had to hire a developer to help heavily customize the job board through CSS/JS to fit our branding, but this is totally optional. We're a recruitment company and postings from employers might not always completely fill our job board, so MSJB offers Indeed backfilling that helps "bulk up" our postings which is nice so we don't have limited listings. Their e-commerce for job postings is also slick. We used to work with WP Job Manager and it was a total headache keeping on top of all of the changes and updates from other plugins which frequently caused it to crash. Since moving to MSJB, we haven't had to worry about ONCE. Everything is managed and well taken care of on the back-end, and it's so smooth.

Inconvénients :

I do have a few things, but these are mainly requests, not cons: 1. Sign in with Google - most employers use this option because they forget their password, so it would be great to have this feature implemented, and hopefully soon. 2. Actually being able to see, create, and vote on feature requests from other users. 3. A Zapier integration, but I believe this is in the works as I write this.
