Job Board & Wordpress
I love blogging. And I work in recruitment. So imagine my excitement when I read Cheezhead’s entry on a new application, called Recruit Press.
RecruitPress is a clever combination of several key plug ins and codes to build a job board build on Wordpress platform.
But let’s take a step back and examine this. What makes a job board successful? Technically speaking, the job board should:
- Makes it easy for job seekers to register and apply for jobs
- Makes it easy for employers to get job ad credit and post jobs
- Makes it easy for employers to process applications
- Makes it easy for job seeker to search for jobs
So if you are thinking of using RecruitPress, you’ll need to benchmark it according to these criteria, which is purely on technology front. Other factors, such as database size, % of active job seekers, industry coverage etc are more of a marketing criteria for a job board.
Perhaps once I have more readers on Viral Voices, I will set up a job board here too

Hmm, this is a good thing if we were to setup a job board built from Wordpress.
But it’s nothing close or as easy compared to Problogger’s and 37signals.
If I wanted to build a job board, my expectations is to have something like that. RecruitPress looks like you’re building a Jobstreet or something.
Hmmm… I thought RecruitPress is something scalable that you can upsize (or downsize) to your requirements.
Well, if you have the interest, we can explore this together in further details. You do one for MY, I’ll do one for SG. Together we conquer this part of the world. Haha
Is there an opinion out there on the Recruitpress modifying core WP files? Is this a good thing to do? Or will it create issues down the road when upgrading WP files??
