FAQ

How to show job listings on the front-end?

To list all the job listings and start receiving applications, add [jobpost] shortcode in an existing page or add a new page and write shortcode anywhere in the page editor.

Job Page Expands Across Entire Page

So, we are giving the facility to Job Board’s users for adding container class or Id under Settings> Appearance tab. Please add your website container class in “Job Board Container Class:” under Job Board> Settings> Appearance tab.

Reviews

Great solution for non-GDPR companies

April 6, 2021
Simple Job Board does exactly what we were looking for. It provides our HR team with an easy way to post job openings on our website, and for people to apply for those positions, and for HR to review and manage those applications. We purchased some of the add-ons, which enhanced the user and admin experiences. A key one was the multiple attachments add-on, which allows us to capture cover letters in addition to resumés. Using my browser's CSS inspector, it was easy to throw together some custom CSS to improve the visual contrast of the job board, to improve ADA compliance for partially-sited people. Since this job board is indeed fairly simple, it probably doesn't support a fully GDPR-compliant organization, though I haven't investigate that. In addition, for USA companies, this plugin doesn't provide the diversity tracking questions that some employers use, such as race, gender, veteran status and disability status. Since we do that tracking in our HR software, it's not a problem that it's not captured at application time. The support team for this plugin were responsive and helpful when I had questions.

Buyer Beware

January 21, 2021
TigerPress burned me for $35. One of their Addon's was totally not appropriate for my site. No free trial and no refunds. Not the type of people I want to do business with.

Demo has a bad ssl

January 14, 2021
AND their NON-TECH chat support wanted to argue with me that it was my browser and that I should clear my cache. I've tried 3 browsers that have never visited their site. I've been a web developer for 20 years!!!! I know a bad ssl when I see one. Bad ssls happen, I tried to be polite and ask them to fix it and their guy just wanted to argue. I have a paying client and we would have paid to get the extensions but not if that's the way they are going to approach support.
