In webClassifieds 2.1 we’re introducing several new themes for specific industries. The first one is for auto classifieds. Not only is this a great looking new theme, but we have paired it with categories and search boxes relevant to the auto industry! Here’s what it looks like:
As you can see, we’ve added two separate search boxes for new/used cars. The categories users can search from are also all relevant to this industry. In other words, you can have an auto classifieds site out of the box with this great new theme!
Many customers have been looking for a way to make certain categories within the site free for users to post in. Craigslist is a great example of why you may want to do this. Users are more than willing to pay for categories, such as jobs or real estate. However, other categories, such as book or clothing, people would be less willing to pay for.
In webClassifieds 2.1, you can now make any category you wish free. This gives you the flexibility to attract customers to free categories, who will eventually end up buying ads in your paid categories. We hope you life this new feature!
When you first start a classifieds site you might not have enough ads to make your visitors excited. That’s no longer a problem in webClassifieds v2.1 with backfilling from Oodle. Once enabled, your classifieds site will be supplemented with ads from Oodle.
Here’s how it works. Let’s say someone searches for a “camera” and no one has posted an ad for a camera yet. Before, your visitor would see an error saying there are no matches. Not anymore. webClassifieds will query the Oodle API and get matches for that search query and display them in the search results. It looks like your site has thousands of ads and increases abandonment!
What does this look like? As you can see from the screenshot below, it looks just like the rest of your search results:
We’re happy to announce the release of webJobs 4.3! Here is what’s new:

Now that webJobs has a comprehensive profile that collects just about any piece of resume information you could think of, wouldn’t it be great to automatically create a PDF resume from this resume? Now you can.
A PDF resume is dynamically created based on the information entered by the job seekers during the profile creation process. Job seekers can even applying using this auto-generated resume. This saves job seekers time and makes it simple and easy for employers to find the right job seekers through resume searches.
With the simplification of the registration process, we needed to transfer the fields we used to collect as part of registration to the profile. The profile creation process has gotten messy however. It also lacked some fields that you have asked for in the past. The profile creation process has been totally revamped with a clean new interface, AJAX saving and editing, and many new sections. Here’s a quick demo of how easy it is to use now:
Here are the sections that are now part of the profile:
Registration for job seekers should be quick and easy. Unfortunately, this hasn’t always been so easy in webJobs. Here’s what the registration page used to look like:
As you can see, there was a whole lot of information users had to enter before registering. This can be very off-putting for a job seeker. We wanted to change that. Now, it’s quick and easy to register. Here’s what the interface looks like:
Job seekers can register in under a minute and be ready to use the site.
