JobberBase
JobberBase is a new open source PHP/MySQL script using which you can set up a job site (thereby acting as a bridge between the job givers and job seekers).
What's cool:
- Simple to use, Nice to look at.
- RSS Feeds
- Site-widget to show jobs on other sites.
What's not cool:
- The web site of the script states 'Post jobs without an account' as a feature, when infact I see it a lack, thereof. Letting anonymous post jobs is akin to welcoming spam (reaching the approver's inbox). Only registered users should be able to post jobs and, if possible, after making a payment via paypal or CC.
- There's no admin panel. So presently it's not possible to manage the jobs posted or do things like changing the site title or manage the default categories through GUI like you would expect to do in any PHP script.
- No theme choices.
Requirements:
- PHP 5+
- MySQL 4.1+
- Apache module mod_rewrite should be enabled
Conclusion:
jobberBase is a decent and simple script to get you started with a job site. While it might not have the bells and whistles of a full fledged job portal that you are used to (monster.com, dice.com), it's a step in the right direction for an open source job script. If the developer(s) continue adding features, it will be a big hit.
