We’ve built a side-by-side login and account creation page into the job submission wizard. This reduces the number of clicks your customers have to make which in turn, increases your conversion rates. It also makes a smoother overall user experience.
|

|
|
|
| jQuery Lazy Loader
Lazy loader uses jQuery to delay loading of images below the page fold (outside the visible part of a web page). This helps your site load faster and saves you precious bandwidth costs. It also adds a coolness factor to your site since images won’t be loaded until your visitor scrolls down to them. |
|
|
| AJAX Field Auto-Complete
JobRoller utilizes AJAX on certain fields to “search while you type” when submitting a new job listing. This saves the customer time, improves data integrity, and gives your site a professional appeal. |
|
|
Site Search |
||
| Searches Custom Fields
WordPress is notoriously known for having a poor search engine. Fortunately all our themes include a more robust custom search engine. We’d even say it’s hands down the best search available in a WordPress theme today. All data and custom fields created for job listings are automatically added to your search index so the latest jobs can always be found.
|
|
|
| Radius Search
Typically job seekers like to see what jobs are located close to them. Our radius search option allows them to do just that. It’s accurate up a mile/kilometer so job seekers can really narrow down their search criteria.
|
|
|
Job Listing Pricing |
||
| Charge for Job Listings
Turn your Web site into a money maker. JobRoller is built with PayPal integrated right into the theme. This allows you to charge a fee for anyone who wants to post a job listing on your site. You can also turn this off if you want to offer free job listings.

|
|

Charge an extra amount to be listed under the home page “featured jobs” section. This is a great way to even further monetize your site.
|
|
|

Your job listings site can be as large as you want. By using the WordPress 3.0 custom taxonomies for categories, you can create as many parent and children categories as you like.
|
|
|
| Unlimited Pages
Besides just listing jobs, you’ll want to be able to build standard pages. You can easily do this by creating a WordPress page.
|
|
|

|
|
|
International |

|
|
|
| Image Uploading
JobRoller uses the WordPress media library upload engine which automatically creates three different sizes (thumbnail, medium, large) when company logos are uploaded with the job listing.

|

This is all integrated within the JobRoller admin back-office so it’s easy to get a holistic view of your entire business. View screenshot.
|
|
|
| PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN)
IPN is PayPal’s message service that sends a notification back to JobRoller (behind the scenes) when a transaction is affected. Unlike “PayPal Website Payments Standard”, no user interaction is required (i.e. click on a return to site button) to complete the transaction. Everything happens automatically. It will also update your transaction logs when events like refunds are given, eCheck payments are completed/denied, etc. Essentially it allows PayPal to push updates directly into your JobRoller database so you will always have the most up-to-date transaction log. For more information, see PayPal IPN.
