Biggest opportunity: Swap “board” for “employer”. “board” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “employer” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 47.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

I struggled with this plugin for several days and encountered many errors. I finally deleted it. It needs improvement, and I’m scared to imagine how the pro version will perform. I do not recommend it. This topic was modified 3 years, 3 months ago by maestro12.

I had a terrible experience with the WordPress plugin from joomsky The plugin is unreliable, and I experienced numerous issues, including slow support, non-functioning messaging, payment problems, and fatal errors. The support team was unhelpful and even offensive at times. I wouldn’t recommend this plugin to anyone and suggest avoiding JoomSky altogether. Find something at envato with higher start rating.

wow – this is just great: Many thanks for bringing this awesome plugin to us; it just gives me much much more than i expected. Awesome! It is a truely great plugin – feasible for many purposes. It works great right out of the box, but is very easy to customize to suit your needs. JS-Jobs for its great design and the lightweight plugin that enables you to add job board functionality to the website. i love the modern UI – and all the options to submit jobs to the job board – besides the methods to manage jobs from the jobs dashboard. JS-Jobs – is great when it comes to configuration: my current use-case: I’m using this plugin to manage a small job-site: You can do so much with this plugin. Amazing job: i love this plugin! To sume up: Many thanks for bringing this awesome plugin to us; 10 stars (out of 5 possible) from me! keep up the great work! I am sure that you find user and friends all over the planet very soon

Useless plugin, they really scam people and they never respond to any tickets.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ BoBella5.5y ago
The product has some great features and is a great solution for people looking to create a job board. We ran into a few kinks with the Plug-in. The Developer was responsive and ultimately assisted us in getting everything fixed. However, the communication process was a bit lengthier that we would have liked an this delayed our launch by a few weeks. The developer kept sending instructions that did not make any sense without clarification. But we are happy now that everything is working! This topic was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by BoBella.
