Online Recruitment Manager

[thomas]

Hey everyone.

I had this amazing idea at work today, apart from that i also work in HR, so im very very familiar with this subject.

Positions Available Plugin or you could call it Emploment or Job Listings! many uses etc.

Our Employment page on our website was just text, and i look at other companies and also professional listings and they always had them catorgised and listed in a particular order

So... I am thinking 4 plugins

113 - Positions Available
114 - Positions Available Search
115 - Positions Available Archive
116 - Latest Positions Available

Here is my idea for each plugin, i am not the BEST coder, but i can change and edit other peoples code with ease. I have studied and also changed the search, archive plugins.

113 - Positions Available
------------------------------------------
Wow. This is going to be the basics to start with, and then with more ideas and more people workin on it, we can make it bigger, and hopefully, will be able also to submit jobs online in future versions.

To start with...

This plugin will LIST in a table all the positions available (job status OPEN and also CLOSED) There will also be another status code called FILLED. Why? because users do check to see if they are still too late to apply for jobs etc.. in the future when we get used to the plugin, you can add a APPLY NOW field to the Open one, a CKECK YOUR APPLICATION STATUS with the closed one, and maybe a SORRY YOU SUCK to the filled. NAh..lol

ok so the table will list the following fields horizontal

Job title, Applications Open, APplications Close, Application Status

You will be able to sort those headings, much like how the event manager is set up with the sorting

Once clicked on the job you want to view. it will list the following in a table.

Job title
Applications Open (DATE)
Applications Close (DATE)
Application Status (coded field - one of 3 - open,closed,filled)

Job Description

Contact

Application details

Attachments (This is going to be hard to implement i think? lol)

Back to Job listing

And also list the follwoing.... EMAIL and/or PRINT

114 - Positions Available Search
------------------------------------------
This plugin is based on the search engine plugin - which searchs the news article listing. This is quite easy code to change and also impliment into this solution.

It will search through both the Job title, and also Job desctription.


115 - Positions Available Archive
-----------------------------------------
This plugin is based on the news archive plugin. It will list in a table all the position filled plugins (remember i said there are 3 status's of plugins - OPEN, CLOSED, FILLED) anyone got any other suggestions?

It will just list it in a table

JOB TITLE APP OPEN APP CLOSED APPLICATION STATUS

Most likely sorted by the date closed, then by title? or maybe ill just let the user sort them automatically??


116 - Latest Positions Available
----------------------------------------
I know that visitiors to sites, dont always go to every page to look at it. This plugin is based on the latest news plugin and would display how many jobs the admin set etc. Much like the latest news



If anyone has any ideas or suggestions? Or would like to help? im all ears.

I think this will be a hit with most people. Most clients like to have their jobs listed on their sites. So this is going to be a must.

All ideas to this plugin please. Hopefully I can get some up to play with in the next few days

[thomas]

bump?...

no ones intrested?

ill have the test plugins available soon

[abcohen]

Yeah, i thought of that, (hehe) but i dont think that will be impememted to start with, would have to be a later version.

I will have to look at all the changes that happened in the new download manager to see what i can pull out of there.

Also a count down to when the job closes would have to be in a later version. But ill leave a space to show everyone the plan.

im really happy about this plugin looks really good for my first effort.

[Tomatos]

Sounds Sweet! I can't wait to see'um

[thomas]

UPDATED...

p115_jobs_archive
Just overwrite the files, and update the plugin.

updated - job link wasnt going to the actual category where the job manager resides, languages updated, and the read more link fixed


p113_jobs_list
Just overwrite the files, and update the plugin.

updated - to work with subdreamer timezone settings, and various other minor updates in the code

Any problems or ideas to this thread!

[abcohen]

looking very cool... I think another search tab should be location...
Also I think the default tab shouldnt be ID # but title or describtion..

Good point.

Ok changed that. And i have also changed the plugins so that 1. The position manager plugin must be installed and in a category before the arvhice or the search can be used - they will just say - "please install bla bla before this one can work"

and also which is a great idea - if there are no jobs available online etc, it will just show - "There are no positions available at the moment. Please check back soon"

I will have the updated plugins soon.

Also I like the idea of a locational based search and area -- so you can place jobs anywhere , us (US - State - City), Can ect..ect..

[kristoz]

Looking very good :P

[thomas]

Updates....

Ok, i have updated the plugins so that there needs to be at least one job in the plugin, or else it will display "there are currently no jobs available". I ahve also cleaned up the language, and a bug on the previous and next page.

There is still some wrong code, when it displays the job - missing the application details fields?? hmmm....

Play with it, have some fun!

Just upload and upgrade over the plugin

p113_jobs_list

P114_jobs_search

p115_jobs_archive

[d_source]

Nice Idea :P Good Plugin :D thx

[thomas]

im in a bit of dilemia about the latest positions available plugin..

I am more of an opinion now that it should be........the next one that closes

because with the positions available plugin you can set a open date for a position or job for the future, so if you have a latest poisiton available its really useless.

What do other people thing? Latest Position online or something more on the lines of next job close date?? more of a countdown?

[abcohen]

most recent postings -- with a X setting to count back from todays date for the last X postings... or if none display Y statement (with a Y statement option)

[thomas]

I have decided to add a one more field only before a release SALARY!!

Im going to release a version without the following....but I will put them on! I promise :D

- file attachment (but you can link it through html in the other fields)
- wysiwyg editor
- print position
- email position

[geiri]

Thank you for those great plugins, Thomas

I have started testing, I will use them all.

The "Open, Closed and Position Filled" needs to be translatable.


Allso The Application Details field goes to same as Further Information:
on save.

Again nice work and looking forward to the updates :D

[geiri]

One thing I have been wondering about for some time.

Is it difficult to use the translated verbs again in the admin panel???

This would be of much use for plugins like this.

I translate allmost all my admin interface.
:rolleyes:

This can be said in the description.

[wardwares]

Where is that plugin located?

[Robert_J_Ellis]

Hmm, this is a usefull plugin.

[william]

I am with wardwares, where is it? I liked the topic and find the idea for this plugin very useful, but the test link doesn't work and the topic seemed to die some 5 months ago.

[thomas]

there will be a new release soon...:) :) :) :) im really looking forward to releasing it!!! Id say another few weeks :P

im not putting a deadline on it as im full on with work atm

[william]

FANTASTIC...thanks for the quick reply!!

[william]

Hey Thomas....I read on other posts that you were really busy, but I thought maybe it would be nice if you had 2min to give an update when you get a chance.

Thanks

[karimun]

thomas,
any chance to let us know when the update will be released?

[william]

Did this die?

[thomas]

i will have an update of this plugin tonight.

I have changed its name - Online Recruitment Manager

:P I hope you will all like, there are a few bugs, and hopefully with the help of others we can smooth these out, there are some formatting issues atm too with it, but with everyones suggestions we can do it together.

[thomas]

Ok well here it is.

Online Recruitment Manager, BETA versio 0.1

It will allow users and also admin to submit jobs online. It will allow users to apply for various jobs, via an online job application form to upload a resume, cover letter, selection criteria. Admin will be able to manage the available jobs and close off on a particular day. The online recruitment manager will show the available jobs in a table listed with various colums, and the table colours can be changed via the admin planel. The position details and other text areas are using the wysiwyg editor, and the online application forms utilize the VVC.

REMEMBER IT IS IN BETA AND HAS ERRORS - USE WISELY ON A LIVE SITE
[attachmentid=415]

Still working on implementing...
+ application form attachment errors - can someone check my code :S
+ application form autoresponder to user and admin - still to implement
+ email the job to others - still to add
+ print the job - still to add
+ attachments via admin - still to add
+ general formatting layout
+ countdown to when jobs close - automatic cut off - still to add
+ status problems - can someone check my code
+ ability for users to add jobs - still to add
+ rss syndication - still to add

Overall i think i have done pretty well so far - as it has turned out to be a quite massive plugin

please - constructive critism only :P anyone want to help

[72dpi]

Nice Work,

heavy Eddie would be perfect to look at this, but i now he's really busy.

i will have a play today & offer some feedback.

=)

[thomas]

72, redownload it again.

I have made some important changes, you will have to uninstall and delete the old one, and install the new one again, I have added the location, work arrangement, and salary fields.

sorry for the inconvience

[Neska]

testing it ^^

[thomas]

excellent, i will have an update shortly, im really happy about it :)

[thomas]

its online to look at try out, http://www.mysubdreamer.com/index.php?categoryid=8

the forms and print page still dont work, but the send to a friend is nearly done

i have added a few job advertisement features, such as you can actually design it to suit your organisation ad, you can modify the job ad's width, border colour and background colour

[william]

I like it so far...
Will it have color options, centering options, options for graphics or do you just post stuff like a news article in SD either in WYSWYG or HTML?

[thomas]

you can do all that with the wysiwyg editor implemented :)

[william]

Any updates on this?
Kind of eager to have it as it make using SD more of a business tool.

Thanks

[thomas]

yes there will be, but it will not be free. Final stages atm, admin back end all done, just finishing the front end user options

there has been heaps of work put into it, and you will be totally blown away by the functionality and also options.

[william]

Well whats the price and are you taking beta testers?

[ouyang]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

bump?...

no ones intrested?

[william]

I am way interested...just waiting and waiting

[thomas]

on the right there is a job search, and on the front page there is the latest jobs. Follow the links through

please do not apply for jobs online as it is live!

[Community]

verry nice!

is this plugin bug free? is there a RC available yet?

[Eladesor]

Waiting also :)
See lots of potential for this and really want to get my grubby little hands on it (please ;) ).

[Eladesor]

Is this dead in the water now?

Shame... was really looking forward to this :(

[thomas]

No its not dead. I will be releasing this plugin as a paid download at US$45.

It is a huge plugin and has alot of controls. I can send you screen shots etc

A few people are using it at the moment. You will need to PM or email me and i will need to help you set it up.

PM Sent :)

[thomas]

I know its been a long time running, but I am about to release a LIGHT version of this huge plugin, the difference between the light and the full is still to be listed, but there is no front end to create jobs, manage advertiser accounts, or order job packages.

Here is the light plugin demo

http://www.businessplugins.com/Online_Recruitment_Manager

You can log in and see the admin here (you will need to sign up if you arnt on there

http://www.businessplugins.com/secureadmin/

I will release soon.

[emielvenlo]

I am really looking forward to this

[thomas]

awesome, you should go into the admin, and start trying to add jobs, advertisers and look at all the settings.

I will try putting up the full version so you can see the front end ability to upload jobs and the back end order list/history and payment revenue.

[pekelpiel]

would love to see a demo of this plugin

[thomas]

would love to see a demo of this plugin
you will have to pm me for the list.
