Job Board by BestWebSoft

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I rated this at a one(1) because it is so basic and hardly covers what should be included in a job board. I’ve yet to find any plugin (Free) that actually performs functions of a job board. 1) The registration Form – says “Post Job” but then provides two roles with one as an employer and the other as a candidate. Really? Would a candidate post a job? 2) No clear resume posting section for the candidate, profile or other. A job both has to work for both parties. 3) No real widgets to add functionality like, featured candidate, jobs, hot jobs etc. 4) Geographical autocomplete- non existent Over all and without wasting any more of my time. Bad plugin.

   Flaws For some reason the job description is all in bold. That already makes the plugin useless to me as it looks horrible. The font for a job title seems to be h1, which is with our design… also way too big. Wants It would be nice if I could deactivate the company name (it’s for our website, not for a job board/agency type site. Our salaries are competetive, it would be great if the salary-info could be hidden and possibly even set to “competitive” rather than having “0 GBP” on the page… we don’t offer jobs for no payment. 😉 Once that’s been added, I might consider testing it again. I quite like the simplicity of this plugin.

   Works perfectly. I was having problems activating the plugin. But then I realized I used an old version of WP. Plugin requires WP 3.5 or higher. And it does it job.
