JobPress is a wordpress theme that turns your website into a perfect working Job Board Software. It comes with all features a website of this kind needs. It is easy-to-use, easy-to-customize, easy-to-read and now a great way to monetize.
JobPress is coming with a settings page from where you will be able to edit and customize all theme features. You can set the payment system, customize the success message and mail, set the price and the currency without editing any file. After the payment is done Paypal sends a signal to JobPress, and only if the signal is real the job will be published. Also a verify sign key is generated and stored in your database.
Submitting Jobs is just easy. At the first step the information is entered, at the second step your users are able to preview their job ad and after the payment a custom success message is displayed and the job is publish automatically.

Good idea, but the design reminds me ( a lot) jobberbase.
yes, thats right. jobberbase is a free alternative – BUT – you can#t make money with jobberbase. it has no link to paypal or whatever. jobpress is state of the art right now!
I sent Jobpress an email with some basic questions regarding the plugin 2 weeks ago and have yet to hear back from them. The plugin seems great, but it’s lacking in several features:
1. Ability to upload, store, and make resumes/cv searchable.
2. Weak support. Sorry, but if you’re going to charge money for a plugin you had better deliver some quality support and forums.
3. Very little information in the form of reviews is available online.
4. Trial… One cannot test out the plugin unless they purchase it. Considering the lack of information available on the plugin; a free trial should be standard.
5. Language support. Nothing is stated in the description regarding customization options for foreign languages.
So, who’s got experience using this plugin? How difficult would it be to design a plugin like this one yourself if you have no previous experience designing wordpress plugins?
I purchased jobpress just to see what it was all about… and you’re correct! It comes with ZERO documentation and ZERO support. I’ve tried to contact them as well with no response. I’ll try to answer any questions you might have about the theme…
1. Ability to upload, store, and make resumes/cv searchable.
Not an option with this theme.
2. Weak support. Sorry, but if you’re going to charge money for a plugin you had better deliver some quality support and forums.
I agree… I would love to work with someone to start this up since the theme has proven to have NO support.
3. Very little information in the form of reviews is available online.
I’ll try and get a review up very soon… I’ll post here when complete.
4. Trial… One cannot test out the plugin unless they purchase it. Considering the lack of information available on the plugin; a free trial should be standard.
I agree.
5. Language support. Nothing is stated in the description regarding customization options for foreign languages.
I see no multi-language support.
So, who’s got experience using this plugin? How difficult would it be to design a plugin like this one yourself if you have no previous experience designing wordpress plugins?
If you have no experience in wordpress… i dont see the average person designing a theme such as this unless you are familiar with PHP. Jobpress does have VERY basic job posting/ paypal capabilities. However, it has some issues as well such as the confirmation email sent after payment is not working correctly as well as numerous grammar errors throughout.
Unless you’re ready to spend some time fixing this theme… its not worth the money.
I agree. I purchased it too and was a bit disappointed with its lack of some basic features, however I love the easyness (If such word exist). It’s so easy to post the job and will attract employers who just want to post a job without all the bells and whistles. It’s almost like Craigslist.com - The simplicity of its usage is what I like the most about it. Plus, it works with WP where you can edit your site with “About Me” “FAQ”, etc.
As to the them itself, I agree 100%: It’s verrrrrryy basic.
