SmartJobBoard

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.

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.

Pourquoi passer à SmartJobBoard

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.

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.

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.

Avantages

Our team is tech proficient enough to be dangerous and perhaps high maintenance at times. Support team is super responsive and patient with our inquiries.

Inconvénients

Lacks function to create job templates - each post is created from scratch via browser or can be uploaded via CSV/Excel file.

Avantages

This is a very easy to use and set up job board that is graphically pleasing and very user friendly. My students can easily use it to search for posted positions and apply to them. My companies can easily post jobs for my students to find. Unlike other software we use, I rarely get any issues or problems--once you launch it runs itself with little upkeep!

Inconvénients

I honestly love MySmartJobBoard and the team behind the product. They are very open to feedback and any complaints or requests I have about the product they consider and often include in future updates. The only negative that I can think of is you are limited in adding custom fields to a job post so if you wanted to add some custom drop-downs or something you are somewhat limited, but it doesnt detract from the effectiveness at all.

Avantages

Easy Rollout, hosted solution. Just add a domain name and off you go.

Inconvénients

At the time, the basic plan was limited to 100 job postings. I believe this number has since changed higher.

Avantages

Its a basic job board but delivers on its promise

Inconvénients

With the Tech team based out of India its is a real mess. The tech team has no idea what they are doing. Huge liability as menu items and features get changes mysteriously with only the tech-support having full access.

Avantages

The software is slick and produces a professional looking job board for your site. You can list up to 10.000 jobs on the basic program.

Inconvénients

The software is pricey and not for people who are looking to post a few jobs on their site. This is for someone who wants to start a job board business. It is unclear when one would be profitable because the software is expensive.

Avantages

Great value for the price.
It's easy to utilize, it's easy to post jobs, it's easy to find jobs.
We were able to aggregate all of the jobs onto a single platform using this technology.
Job seekers and employers both love the simplicity and functionality of the platform.

Inconvénients

Nothing. We liked everything!
Our users are also loving it.

Avantages

Overall we enjoyed our experience with SmartJobBoard. The process of inputting job listings was pretty straightforward and although limited, the customization options for adjusting the look of the website to match our branding was more than sufficient. It was very straightforward to import job postings via a CSV file. Our users appreciated being able to set up job alerts as well!

Inconvénients

Overall we didn't have many dislikes about the software. Ultimately, we decided to shift our strategy and discontinue this offering, but we likely would have continued using it.

Avantages

Great platform to start with and is easily customized.

Inconvénients

Will have not run into any problems to report.

Avantages

Easy to use, looks great, works very well. We have used a number of different platforms and this is by far the best.

Inconvénients

In the latest version there are fewer advanced employer features. Does not have a robust Applicant Tracking function, however it would be excellent for most users.

Avantages

This software helped us to enhance the ease-of-use of our job board for both staff and users. The templates are easy to use and fairly customizable. And, there are a number of great bells and whistles to boot. The best part is that it's priced reasonably.

Inconvénients

I would like to see better reporting functionality, and a bit more ability to make changes on the admin side.

Avantages

cost
customer support
ease of use

Inconvénients

could have more options for banners etc
JobG8 should be available on all options

Avantages

The ease of use , exceptional Customer support and matured product.
i have researched the market before settling for smartjobboard platform and found it to be the most reliable so far

Inconvénients

Not being able to access the server where our system is deployed. with limited room for customization and integration of other services (eg. i couldn't integrate onesignal to my job portal )

Avantages

This is a very easy platform to administer and to use. The options are great and the value is tremendous. Plus, I've received great customer service with short response times.

Inconvénients

It could be just a touch more flexible, but that could be solved by hosting on your own server. Plus, the design team is great about helping find ways to solve problems.

Avantages

Customer service has been very good assisting us with specific coding for our site regarding 3rd party posters

Inconvénients

No back button when editing which fields I want to make mandatory. It takes a long time to each time go back and forth and individually uncheck each box when I want to fix one thing on an employer's profile

Avantages

Ease of use, high quality, sensible pricing

Inconvénients

Haven't found anything yet.

Avantages

Ease of use

Inconvénients

I just don't like the options for the way the site looks. Limited fonts and color schemes. Limited overall page view sett up.

Avantages

Customisation (fields etc, front end) and external integrations (APIs, Indeed etc) . The administration and backend is intuitive and it is easy to use.

Inconvénients

Better integration with LinkedIn. Log in only records the Job Seekers email. Integration with a CRM such as HubSpot.

Avantages

Easy to use interface
Makes posting jobs and viewing jobs very easy
Constantly seeking to improve the product
Price is just fantastic for what we get. It's a tremendous value
Experience with the team there has been exceptional

Inconvénients

Any additional SEO help is also appreciated as well.

Avantages

It has all the key features you need (searching, filters, "easy apply") but nothing above and beyond.

Inconvénients

The resume auto-fill option isn't any worse that any other option but it's not great. They never are.
