Someone actually contacted us in our helpdesk to work with 3rd party extensions like Joombah. I will try to get in touch with Joombah and see if we can collaborate

I was actually looking for something similar. It looks like Joombah may not be updating their component for Joomla 3.x, based on the latest review on JED. Joombah's site hasn't updated any announcements for almost a year. Too bad since it gets great reviews from users.

Ok thanks a ton Mark

Hello Justin,

Thanks for the heads up on this. Any other Jobs extension that you would recommend?

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately no, although I've been looking at the EasyDiscuss demo to see if it's possible to set up a job board of sorts!

I use JReviews for this purpose.

James

Have you guys seen this? http://www.weri-design.de/en/products.html

James, how does it work? Someone gave me a really cool idea and I really want to pick a jobs extension that we could work with

I've tried EasyJobs. I haven't used the one Mark mentions but I do like EasyJobs ability to add fields (looking forward to mapping/leveraging EasySocial profile fields.) I'm eager to jump on whichever Jobs component works with EasySocial. Toward that end, Mark, I'm eager to see what happens please keep us updated here so I know which direction to go.

Interesting name, haha. "EasySocial is now compatible with EasyJobs" . Wow, it's a little pricey though.

I like JReviews because it is extremely flexible, you can manage multiple directories, in my case both Jobs and Resumes and because of the Reviews Of Me Plugin for EasySocial you can make a third directory to write Recommendations of people. It is fully integrated with EasySocial as well, a set of (4) apps if you have the everywhere addon. It offers GeoMap support and also Paid Listings so you can charge companies to post jobs and let them manage them.

Also, everything is scalable, from the media that is upload to the ACL controls. The options are limitless.

Thanks for the heads up on this James

I'm with @James on this one (and I'm not Alejandro's spokesperson).

EasyJobs price tag seems unrealistic compared to JReviews (or Joombah).

I'm using JReviews for 7 years now... when it comes to directories, classifieds etc. there's nothing comes close to this CCK (maybe a little more work but it'll do exactly what you need...extremely customizable).

+1 one for jReviews as Job Tool
as Jozsef sad, it is a bit more work to setup this but when you have done all the work you running your business on a very solid tool.

I agree with the two above statements.

Also, to note support around the Joomla! community has always been an issue. We however have some companies who do this well, StackIdeas, NoNumber, as well as a few others. I will say Alejandro and the group at ReviewsForJoomla.com (JReviews) are on the same playing field as the folks here at StackIdeas. Great team, great support.

James

@James can you share a link to your JReviews-based implementation of jobs/resumes? @Mark can you share the 'really cool' idea? I'd like to learn more what's brewing so I make the best investment in time/money in a component for handling paid jobs postings in the EasySocial "ecosystem". Thanks

Hello Eileen,

Unfortunately the user isn't allowing us to disclose any information about this

@Eileen, unfortunately the information for my website is proprietary and disclosing a link could jeopardize my site.

As soon as I am ready I will share the link with you.

Thanks for updating us on this James

Hi Justin,

I am working with Joombah (on Joomla 3x) and so far so good (maybe they just never got round to updating JED when you last looked?

I too am looking for it to be integrated with EasySocial. I did look at EasyJobs but it wasn't for me.

I was originally using Joomlart's JA Job Board with Jomsocial, but since I am no longer using Jomsocial (as EasySocial has more of the functionality I need|) and Joomlart are not interested in developing a Joomla 3 compatible version until at least Joomla 3.5x is released I had no choice but to seek an alternative. Joomlart are stuck on 2.5 and the Job Board isn't responsive either. A shame, as it had some really good features, but was let down by slow (or no development).

Are there any plans to integrate Joombah with EasySocial?

Mel

Thanks for the update Mel!

Also Mel,

Do you think it's possible to have multiple directories on the same site with Joombah - one for jobs and one set up more for classifieds?

Thanks.

Hello Mel,

If we could get a copy of Joombah, we'll see what we can do about this

Hi Mark,

Please see my additional comments in the site details bit on here.

Mel

Hi Mark,

I thought I was adding attachments in a secure area - my apologies. How do i send them without putting them on the main forums?

Hi Justin,

Good to know Mel. I was debating using SobiPro for classifieds and jobs, but the project seems so scattered to me (and I've been using it for years).

subscribe

Hello Mel,

You could send them over to mark AT stackideas.com

Hi Justin,

I have also tried SobiPro and felt a bit the same (too scattered and not quite there - for me). If you just want a classified with the ability to add jobs then most of the classifieds will do that. I needed a specialist jobsboard (a little more than a classifieds listing) with all the features of an enterprise jobs board. I have tried so many - but with mixed results. Joombah is the closest I have got to the ideal solution for me.

Mel

Hi Mark,

sent. Let me know if you don't receive them as may need to send them separately.

Thanks Mel, I'm looking forward to a possible EasySocial integration!

Hello Mel,

Thanks, got it If there is less support tickets / forum posts over the week, I will try to allocate some time to work on this. We are a little shorthanded due to the holiday season

Subscribe!

Any movement on this integration idea? Ideally I would vote for Jreviews as I need both job board and product review abilities, but even Joombah would be welcome. Just wondering if this is still on the table before I commit to one of those extensions.

I am still unable to allocate time on the integrations with Joombah

Im working with JSJobs Pro...
If stackideas dev wants to see the code... and try to integrate ... feel free to contact me.

Hello,

If you would be kind enough to drop me an email, that would be awesome! My email address is mark AT stackideas.com

is there any news on this i've got JSjobs and Easysocial on site and really would like to intergate them.

best

Hello Alex,

To be frank, I really haven't had enough time to check on this yet but there are several job extensions which I did play around with and I am still unclear what sort of integrations are you guys looking forward to?

Hello, i have kazuo, JSJobs seems goods, i'd tryed joombah, its a good product too,
whats about support and updates @ joomsky ?

Are you guys who are dealing with these job extensions free to have a skype chat with me? I am actually interested in pushing this out.

Don't know if i can help but i've atached my skype in the details

following

I am testing Joombah and looks great, simple and more flexible that JS jobs wich i test also

Hey guys,

Please get in touch with me on Skype We'll setup a group chat and discuss about such integrations

Hi Mark,

i am so sorry i cant connect to skype i am in vacancy now but if you are looking for a specific information about Joombah for example contact me, i can also provide you the last version.

Hello Mark,

Sometime ago I looked for a jobs board extension- but couldn't find a satisfying one except JoomCareer. It might not be perfect or great, but simple yet. Developer's approach was also good. I liked my interaction with him. He had quickly and positively reacted to my feature request. So maybe you can consider an integration between EasySocial and JoomCareer.

Best regards,

Zafer

Hello Zafer,

Thanks for the heads up on this. Perhaps would you want to join our skype group chat?

Sure. Please add me: zafer.yilmaz.net

Done

hello ! any news ? i'd tested joombah and js jobs, is there any other interesting job board ?

have you test EasyJobs ? looks simple and professional,
i was wondering if some one can share with me the extension until i can test it. if its ok i will puchase it.
if you want to test joombah then i have the last version, for tests purpose only.

Hey guys,

I am playing around with JS Jobs and will try to create an app for EasySocial

Hi Mark,
Good news ! please tell us how its working.

i sent two mails to the easyjobs team four days ago and i didnt have a response yet! i am not sure about their support ..

I will keep you guys updated on this and this is why I wanted to discuss with you guys what sort of integrations are you all looking forward to?

This thread triggered my interest as I am looking myself for integrating job board with easysocial too. I have looked at JS jobs and although not a perfect but a solid jobs solution..
Is this integration still coming up? I would appreciate your update.

Thanks a lot!

I was working on it until I got distracted away on the development of EasyBlog 5 I will see if I can revive this. By the way, what sort of integrations are you looking at for JS Jobs?

These would be my priorities:

Activity streams for job seekers and employers - new jobs, jobs apply.
Notification for job seekers and employers - new jobs, job apply. job status change.
Apps for job seekers: applied jobs and resume
App for employers: listed jobs

Thanks for the heads up on this

Count me in to purchase it if you release this addon.

Noted, thanks for the heads up on this!

Hey guys,

I have been examining most of the codes on JS Jobs and unfortunately it looks like there's no way to hook into their saving process as their extension doesn't perform any triggers at all and there's no way to generate an activity stream when a new company, job postings, job application is created on the site

What is possible however is listing the available job by specific company and listing of applications submitted by the user.

That's a shame... Is there any chance that you would consider easyjobs or joombah instead?

Hi Mark,
Did you have a look at this? http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/joomcareer

I don't have a copy of Joom Career

I have just written to its developer Stefan to contact you via support@stackideas.com

Hi,

Hey Jan,

If you can send me to my email mark AT stackideas.com , it would be much appreciated. EasyJobs it is

By the way, it would be great if anyone of you could send me a copy of EasyJobs. We have already contacted them for a copy for development purpose but didn't hear anything yet

Hey, is this Jan from EasyJoomla? Looking forward to see what "develops" with the integration

Yes Eileen its Easyjobs from Easyjoomla, cousin of Easysocial

Thanks Jan

Any update?

We use Jreviews for jobs and all our listings (downloads, gallery, etc.) !

Jan, is your site in development and/or can you post a link here?

here's a screenshot :

How does one submit resume against a job listing with Jreviews?

On our website we just connect people (recruiters and job seekers), candidatures are sent directly to recruiters via emails, officiel websites etc.

On jreviews to allow the members sending their resumes you need to add a file based custom field

do not hesitate to post a question on the official support forum of jreviews.

Hi Jan!,

Thanks for the sharing
