More effective job listings
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009Presenting information well
Each job listing posted on your job board is an advert designed to grab the attention of people looking for a job. Well presented information – with headings, lists, etc – makes it easier to see what the job is about and whether a candidate fits its requirements. To make your job listings more effective, you need to present the information clearly.
New styled editor
Today we released an update to Easy Job Boards which makes it easier to style job listings for maximum impact. The new editor will be familiar to anyone who uses similar editors in webmail or even a normal word processor. It has buttons along the top to make text bold, italics, etc and add links to other websites. You can also add lists with numbers or bullets.
You can copy styled text from some other applications and paste it in to the editor. Often the styles will be kept, saving you work.
Previously we used Markdown as a way to format job descriptions. The new system is much easier to use and that’s our primary goal for Easy Job Boards! All existing job listings have been automatically migrated, so there’s nothing you need to do.
As always, we’re happy to hear your feedback.
