webJobs Job Board and Job Portal Software

Author:

This is simply the best and most reasonably priced script out there. I don't know about the bad reviews I read before, but my experience (owned the software for about 2 months) has been an excellent one. Support has been helpful and responsive, and their developers answered some of my programming questions on their forums. I thought the software was intuitive and easy to customize, and I'm very happy with my decision.

they just released a new version and it's amazing! i love the backfill and new themes they added - long overdue. i just started up my site and their new version is a big improvement of the previous one. easier to install, and i barely have to customize anything because the minty green theme fits my site perfectly. the support has been good too

The company (Webscribble) has begun responding to the problems I've been experiencing with this program and fixing this and that. So far so good, not finished, but moving in the right direction. Their programmers seem to be on the case now and with an understanding of the issues I've been reporting.

Good lord what an exercise in futility. Maybe at some earliest version the program and all its features actually worked, but no longer (v2.xxx). An abomination of code (dreadfully slow as well) and CSS that in addition to spending hundreds of dollars to purchase for naught, will have you spending hundreds of hours to try to get working if you're lucky to get it "all" working at all. Do the research and check the discussion boards! "Crap" and "junk" are valid adjectives mentioned.

Here are a couple of observations. The install was done by their "technical support team". -When trying to log into the installed site, the log in button errored out since it was pointing to a non existant folder -The USERNAME is CaSEsenSitivE therefore John JOHN JoHN JohN are different users; to them, this is a feature not a bug -Users can not log in using email address -When an employer adds a job to the system, the text is horribly distorted - ticket has been open for a week.



The new version 3.1 is out. This release has a lot of more promises - I might actually use it on a live site. The above bugs appear to have finally been fix (except the login using email address).

1. The script does not use capture and is therefore open to spam galore (see example on their demo page): http://demos.webscribble.com/webjobs/?page=apply_for_job&post_id=981
2. They have introduced new features, BUT, some features were not well thought out. e.g in the search results the featured jobs do not show up above the non-featured
3. There is no User\Employer mechanism to import users via a .csv file to webjobs. An email to support asking whether they have a script to do this yielded the following response: "...Programming changes such as those are beyond the scope of our support." which is fine, BUT, they charge a whooping $50 or 25% whichever is greater for their support. I was not about to pay $50 to be told that they don't have a mechanism to address my question :)

They have finally created a community website, however it is a discriminatory community since only the members who have been suckered into paying for the support have access to posting, whereas all other license holders can only read.

Rating: I have given this a 1 (Poor) rating because of the lack of CAPTCHA rendering the site susceptible to abuse and the lack of support in the forums for license holders to garner user-to-user support. My past experiance with their support has been doubting at best.

i have nothing but praise for webscribble and their product. they were able to get it installed for me within a few hours after purchasing before a long holiday weekend. i ran into a few snags, but they were able to help me out really quickly, and my site is really starting to take off. i compared them against softwares that cost 3 times more, and am glad and suprised i got such a good value for my money. i would recommend webjobs to anyone who wants to start a job board.

These guys did a great job with the software. It's very well thought out, and really simple to use. I had my designer customize the site, and it turned out great. I can modify and administrate everything through their admin area, and if theres any problem, their staff was very fast and helpful. Overall I thought the software was easy to install, and was great for a tight deadline. Five stars!

The software itself seems full-featured, but the Zend Optimizer requirement is a drawback, passwords are stored unencrypted in the db, the code is not intuitive to change, and there exists a number of bugs particularly on the admin side. Customer service has been very poor. It took 4 days just to get the software sent to me, and that was with me having to email repeatedly. An open support ticket went unreplied to for a week. Unfortunately I can not recommend this software or this company.

Found a discount link on their site to buy webjobs at $169. Made a purchase, but got nothing for 24 hours. I emailed them and they told me they'd made an error and the offer wasn't valid - so I'd have to pay $199. Needless to say, I wasn't about to pay for their incompetence so I cancelled the order and they lost a $169 sale. If this is their customer service before you've paid, I shudder to think what they'd be like once they've got your money. Arguing over just $30. Very Poor Performance!

The customer service is excellent and the software has all the bells and whistles that you can think of. The support has been excellent and has gone out of their way on numerous occasions to help me correct problesm that I was having as a result of some template modifications that I made to the site. These guys are what customers service is all about. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

I've never encountered code so poorly written in my life. The claimed funtionality is great, but don't be fooled. You can't modify the forms to gather the data you want, only re-order the placement of the input boxes in their pre-formatted templates. All the formatting is encoded so you can't get to the root of it. There's no develper documentation and the web scribble guys are of no help. Don't even think about using a payment processor other than those that have plug-ins. It's all encoded

The webjobs software is the best job site script I have seen - and I saw all of them ranging from $100-$5000! This is definetly the best bang for the buck, and the web scribble team has always been prompt and helpful.
