Thread: Extra Categories in JobRoller at the Job Type level

Extra Categories in JobRoller at the Job Type level

Hi
The jobroller demo shows the current categories to post and search jobs as
Job Type
Job Category
Salary

(I take it it's possible to rename these and also to set whatever needed as the sub categories within each category?)

Can you also add additional categories with their own sub categories at the same level as these
Job Type, Job Category, Salary
categories shown,
e.g.
Job Industry [TV, Film, Commercial...]
Job Status [CEO, Snr Mgr, ....]
etc
that recruiters could also use to categorise their jobs and users could use to search jobs?

So the full list of categories would be something like

Job Type, Job Category, Job Salary, Industry, Job Status, Job Function.

So when recruiters post jobs they must select attributes form within each of these
Job Type, Job Category, Job Salary, Industry, Job Status, Job Function
categories to describe the job they are advertising.

And when users search jobs they can search based on criteria selected from within all of these
Job Type, Job Category, Job Salary, Industry, Job Status, Job Function
categories.

Thanks

Yes, you could change the filter options within the sidebar "Browse By" section, however this is not something that can be done from the JobRoller admin, it would require some customization on your part.

Yes, you can add additional job types and job categories from within the JobRoller admin dashboard.

If you're wanting to change actual fields on the job posting form, this would also require some customization.

Basically what you mention can be achieved through a mixture of general setup and some code changes.

ok, thanks Pepsi
