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.
We already some great Search Engine Optimization features in webJobs. Now, we’re making SEO even better for your site and fine-tuning it even more.
When your users search for jobs, they enter search terms and locations which are highly valuable, and were previous underutilized. It was a shame not to leverage this great data to help grow your site in the search engine results. Now, we use this data as part of your SEO strategy to constantly improve your ranking in search engines.
This is done by optimizing the H1 and H2 heading tags in the search results. After site title (which is already optimized), these tags carry by far the most weight for SEO. Let’s say we do a search for “php developer” in Albany, NY. The resulting heading tags look like this:
Notice that the H1 tag has both the search term and job location optimized. This helps increase your site rankings on a local level (near Albany, NY in this case), as well as the search terms.
Now, let’s say we want to search for the same term, but part time jobs instead of full time. The resulting heading would look like this:
In this case, the H1 tag remains the same, but the H2 tag is now optimized for part time job openings.
We apply the same concept to salary ranges. For example, if someone on your site searches for a job between $50,000 and $60,000, we add this data to the search result headings.
Finally, if someone selects a job category in the search, we will optimize for that job category in the H1 heading tag.
We’re confident these improvements will help you even further in ranking your site at the top of the search engine results. We look forward to launching this new feature so you can get that extra boost for your website!
This feature will be released in webJobs 4.3, due out in February 2012.
We’ve totally revamped the Job Agent feature previously available in webJobs. Packed with some great new features, we’ve renamed this feature to “Jobs by Email” to make it easier for your users to identify its exact functionality.
Unlike previous versions, anyone can sign up for job email alerts, even if they’re not a member of the site. This is a great feature for those people who don’t want to take the time to register, but are still interested in the jobs. They’ll constantly receive new job alerts by email, building your company brand, and increasing the likelihood that they’ll eventually apply for a job that they found interesting from one of the alerts. If they register as a user, these alerts will be automatically preloaded into their account, so they don’t have to recreate them.
The way people create email alerts has also been totally revamped. No more going to a separate screen and selecting criteria. Now, we’ve fully integrated it with the site search. Whenever visitors perform a search, they’ll clearly see a simple form at the top of the page that allows them to enter their email address and sign up for the alert.
Members can also manage their jobs by email through an incredibly well thought out and easy to use interface.
They’ll clearly see each alert, what the alert does, and the frequency at which they would like to receive emails (daily, weekly, etc).
We hope this is a feature that your current members love, and that will bring new candidates coming back to your site on a regular basis!
This feature will be released in webJobs 4.3, due out in February 2012.
We’re thrilled to announce the release of webJobs 4.2 less than two months after the release of version 4.1. Here is what’s new:

We’re also looking to give you every possible advantage when getting pages ranked on Google. In version 4.2, our search engine optimization features are taking yet another step forward with landing pages. Now, each job category and location page will have a friendly URL that can help those pages rank better in Google. Here are a couple of examples of what it looks like:

Most job boards charge for posting jobs for a certain period of time, or for viewing a specific number of resumes. However, some sites would like to offer a slightly less traditional system where they charge a monthly subscription fee for the sites.
We now offer subscription based billing in webJobs 4.2. You can offer employers a flat subscription fee each month, each quarter, each year, or any period of time. A subscription grants employers the ability to post unlimited number of jobs and view an unlimited number of resumes. Similarly, we also offer the ability for you to charge job seekers for access to the site. This allows you to charge job seekers for access to the site each month, similar to how TheLadders works.

Proprietary file formats like PDF and Microsoft Word have been tough to work with in the past, so resume keyword searching in webJobs has been limited to searching just profile fields. Now, we’re very excited to announce that the resume contents of text, PDF, and Microsoft Word (.docx files) are fully keyword searchable. This means the webJobs search engine will search through profile fields completed by the job seeker and the contents of the resumes themselves, yielding employer more results!
The entire resume search interface has also been revamped. It now closely resembles our new job search interface and allows employers to refine searches on the fly. Here’s what it looks like:

As you can see, employer will now be able to browse for more specific resumes based on the search results of their original query. webJobs will show them how many resumes match their criteria within specific search refinement options.
