Still using wordpress job board plugins? We have a better idea...

The job board is the bread and butter of any website where promoting vacancies is the primary focus. It is by far the most important piece functionality on the website, it's implementation will either make or break your website project.

Don't reach for the plugin!

The first response of many agencies and designers is to jump on their favourite plugin website and look for a job board plugin. That's the point where their project has taken a wrong turn.

The problem with job board plugins is they are by definition a plugin. They are additions to an existing content management system.

Incorporating the job board in the from of a plugin leads to a disjointed design and functionality that doesn't flow through the site as it should. This is what you end up with:

Bad job board

Or maybe if you're lucky you will get this:

Ugly job board

But what can we do about it?

The job board must be the primary focus of your site of your site from the very start. It's the most important component because it's what shows your vacancies to your site visitors.

Why everyone still talks about WordPress

There is a massive industry behind building WordPress websites. Hundreds of thousands of developers and designers that piece together websites using various plugins they find online.

In order to keep their business afloat they need to justify and promote the platform they're building on. It's no surprise then that there's hundreds of blog posts and articles about how WordPress is the way to go when building your website.

Why would they recommend a platform that brings them no benefit? Even if it would produce a better outcome for the customer?

Developers and designers are financially incentivised to overlook the clunky shortcomings of WordPress.

Old wordpress

WordPress first came out in 2003, almost 20 years ago! Since then a lot has changed on the internet and the WordPress has tried to keep up by adding new functionality into a foundation that is still from the last century.
