JobBoard.io Reviews
Pros
The feature-set (already extensive) continues to expand and it's clear that this is a provider that is dedicated to near-constant improvement of both the customer and user experience.
I'm excited to continue growing my job board and working with Christian and his team, whose passion for the product shines through at every turn. I'm a big fan, can you tell.
Its the most modern UI on the market and their team is highly responsive and genuinely cares about its customers. As a consultant in the industry I often recommend it to my clients.
Not only does it provide a captivating UI, it has an easy to navigate yet sophisticated back end. The real beauty of Jobboard.io is the devotion of the its creator, Christian, behind the scenes.
Cons
I had a hard time navigating the site. I didn’t understand it at all.
That old system was a mess. The user experience was terrible, the code was a tangle of poorly architected dependencies and the payment system was unreliable and labor intensive.
JobBoard.io has taken away all of those problems, and I'm never looking back.
If you are considering building a niche job site, spend no more time looking. Start doing with Jobboard.io.

"Platform to search for jobs and find ideal candidates!"
Pros: Easy to use and find jobs and apply with tracking facility
Cons: Product still needs to compete with other platforms such as naukri, linkedIn etc to become more visible
"Best software for application tracking "
Overall: Almost 6 months using this software for recruiting purpose
Pros: Here I like all the options. specifically position jobs and application tracking and maintaining candidate database everything is useful
Cons: I don't have anything to say here overall it's really amazing and easy to use. Highly recommend this to everyone
"Horrible customer service and support"
Overall: Terrible customer service and support. The product itself is good but not great. It's the service and support that will make you regret your purchase.
Pros: The product itself is fine, albeit antiquated feeling and clunky.
Cons: The customer service and support is horrible. If you need support or have questions, you're out of luck.
"Best Job Board Software in the industry"
Overall: I haven't had one bad experience or problem with the software and the JobBoard.io team always available for any support or questions. The other great thing is they are always working on improvements, more functionality, and paying attention to the Google Algo landscape (ie. making sites mobile friendly, implementing SSL ect..) I have also tested other forms of job board scripts, WordPress implementations (themes/plugins), and other variations and none are as reliable and as advanced as JobBoard.io
Pros: Always up to date, the support, user friendliness for site owners and for people using the job boards on the front end.
Cons: None

"Quite Simply THE BEST"
Overall: We're a scientific body and recently we took the plunge and started our own niche area JobBoard. We did some research as you do in science and we contact several vendors, there's no point naming them. Eventually we came across JobBoard.io, what a breath of fresh air. the founder and own took me through all that I needed to know as a JobBoard debutante in which for him must have been a very long call. He then did it all again for the board so we could get sign off. At every stage they have held our hand and explained everything in layman's terms so we could progress and at no point were we left hanging and wondering what do we do next.. Setup is easy, JobBoard.io is a SaaS solution, it was quite literally point and click after we had everything setup, which was particularly painless. All of 30 minutes after completion we were live and up and running. We couldn't be happier, hence my long review. As far as I'm concerned credit should go where it is due; it's certainly due, there isn't a Noble prize for JobBoards but JobBoard.io will get my vote should they start one.
Pros: Ease of use, amazing support, great response times brilliant hand holding
Cons: Not found one yet

"JobBoard.io - Great job posting portal"
Pros: Easy to use.Budget-friendly.The response rate is amazing.Can be easily integrated with your website.Exceptional customer support.
Cons: Not much customizable.You get a lot of irrelevant candidates.
"Hard to navigate "
Pros: I like the different options that the software gives you for saving jobs and for alerts.
Cons: Some of the software was confusing and it was hard to integrate with my resume and with the job said I was actually interested in applying for.
"If you're looking for a job board partner; this is your choice."
Overall: I've been in the staffing and recruiting space since before job boards existed (barely, but still). I set out to build a platform that would bridge some of the weaknesses of job boards in the employer recruiting process. I looked at ground-up development, WP theme development and SAAS tools... and even tried a few of those options in the process of choosing my platform. In the end, Jobboard.io made the most sense, so I signed up. It has been one of the best moves I've made in by backend business platform. Not only does it provide a captivating UI, it has an easy to navigate yet sophisticated back end. The real beauty of Jobboard.io is the devotion of the its creator, Christian, behind the scenes. Personal customer service, Facebook Group interaction, an unceasing development and deployment schedule, and a commitment to his customers.

"Take it a from a beginner who did his research, this is the best"
Overall: In terms of design, UX and UI, for admins, job-posters and job-seekers, it's simply the best. In fact, I'd put jobboard.io on par with the biggest SaaS players. I'm excited to continue growing my job board and working with Christian and his team, whose passion for the product shines through at every turn! I'm a big fan, can you tell?

"My review"
Overall: Overall, it was a bad experience. I wouldn’t use it again b
Pros: I only used it for a little while. I think it’s cool to be able to create your own Job Board.
Cons: I had a hard time navigating the site. I didn’t understand it at all. It wasn’t as easy as I would like.
"Outstanding jobboard platform"
Overall: I would have written this review sooner but having tried and tested a number of other platforms over the past couple of years I wanted to put the software through a full evaluation period. Having used Jobboard.io for several months now I am more than happy to provide this review and personal recommendation.
Pros: Quick setup Simple but intuitive layout and design Seamless integration with your own website and branding but equally effective as a stand alone website. Constantly updated and developed Flexibility to adapt to my business requirements as the business grows Exceptional customer service and support - always quick to respond to my queries and requests.
Cons: There are no negatives as far as i am concerned.

"Jobboard.io is an intuitive and easy to use solution. And in terms of deployment we were up and runn"
Overall: The benefit are massive. Self sufficiency!!
Pros: The fact that you don't have to be a techie to use. The job post form is very easy to use. We made our decision based on ease of use. And how quickly they answered our questions (RFI)
Cons: No Cons. Every is good about these guys. Sorry bad to report here. All but good. They are God sent!!
"Converted from WordPress, never looking back"
Overall: I switched to JobBoard.io after running a self-hosted WordPress job board for over four years. That old system was a mess. The user experience was terrible, the code was a tangle of poorly architected dependencies and the payment system was unreliable and labor intensive. JobBoard.io has taken away all of those problems, and I'm never looking back. Don't get me wrong. I love WordPress. I've run a popular blog (motionographer.com) on WP for over 9 years, and it's fantastic for that. But if you're thinking of running your own job board on WordPress, please take my advice and go with JobBoard.io instead. PROS - I spend 1-2 hours a week maintaining my job board compared to the 8-12 hours a week I spent on my self-hosted system (higher when things broke) - Fast, friendly customer support - Fantastic uptime and performance - Customizable CSS - Excellent reporting features - Support for custom pages (and a blog, if you want it) - Nice Indeed support - Software purpose-built for job postings (not shoehorned into a CMS like WordPress) - Active Facebook community CONS - I have to give up some control over certain things but given how much time I spent (wasted?) "controlling" my site before, this is probably more of a pro than a con

"Plug and play Job Board"
Overall: Overall the job board works perfectly as advertised. The new design update looks great and provides a great deal of customization (ie: colors, fonts, html-friendly space). At $149/mo entry level pricing, it's a little expensive for smaller markets that don't charge a lot for job posts, however not prohibitively so - we still make more than we spend. Customer support is fantastic! Typical same day (or even same hour) reply to any inquiries. They have a few 3rd party partnerships for additional revenue opportunities, such as Indeed or Top Resume. Super user-friendly platform and simple backend to navigate, customize and change settings. We've been customers since August 2016 and are pleased with our purchase.
Pros: User-friendly backend Customizable to your branding, menu, etc Great customer service
Cons: The price is a little high

"Incredible customer service experience, easy to use, worth the spend! "
Overall: Great customer service. Looking forward to a great launch!
Pros: The people that come along with it. I was helped by one of their customer service agents who went above and beyond to help us launch our job site for women in technology (going live next week). The technology is also far easier, customisable and smarter than I imagined initially.
Cons: There should be different views for employer and candidates, improve the 'alert' functionality to allow for location AND another category.

"Jobboard.io > Wordpress"
Overall: "I really like what you guys have done with it so far though. I'm optimistic with this platform. Wordpress was a real hassle." - Me in a chat with Peter And thanks to Peter for all his help with my customizations. Philip Lilavois RealtyScout.com
Pros: Ease of use. Built well. No real issues. Great support.
Cons: Lack of back end customizations. CSS is a good option which can definitely give the overall look and feel you're looking for but there are some little things that should be customizable that aren't.

"Better than Some"
Pros: It gets the job done but its not always pretty
Cons: the amount of resumés you receive is overwhelming and not in a good way. The few you like and try to contact never answer you back or got a job years ago
"Jobboard.io is the absolute best solution for anyone trying to start a job board. "
Pros: The platform is so intuitive, simple, and user friendly. All the features you need are at your finger tips.
Cons: The only thing I would change about this software is the purchasing feature. I'd prefer if it were more of a shopping cart but the limitations didn't prevent me from setting up an ideal menu and the customer service is so over the top incredible that it more than makes up for any shortfalls a user may find.

"Great 'self-service' job board"
Overall: We only advertise a small number of specialist jobs and we were placing them manually on our website, however this was really time consuming to keep them updated etc. JobBoard.io is a great time saver as it virtually manages itself. Our customers can place their own job listings, add logos and direct application links through their own login and also pay online for the adverts through PayPal. The jobs expire automatically based on our settings. I can also post a feed of the current jobs through to our main website and newsletters. The customer support is excellent and there are regular improvements and new features. The few queries that I have had over the last 16 months have been answered very quickly. I would definitely recommend JobBoard.io.

"Day One User"
Overall: We have been using this service for quite sometime! We love the product and the team keeps us in the know as new things come out! We would love more way to add sources for feeds for other job boards.
Pros: Ease of use and functionality.
"The best job board software on the market!"
Pros: This software is professional, easy to use and what I'd classify as true "turn-key" software unlike some others I've used previously. The Jobboard.io customer service team are first class and are always willing to assist, whether it's to help setup your site or to answer any queries.
Cons: I like everything about this software but I would like to see more customisation offered in future upgrades.

"Always so positive and ready to help support"
Overall: I set up my DNS incorrectly and even though it had been working, my sub domain was also wrong. Christian (The founder) himself was quick to identify the problem from their chat window on their site, and he did not delay in correcting the issues within my domain provider GoDaddy. This is not the first time jobboard has performed fast, efficient support. Goodness knows that when the stress hits of technical failures on my part, they laugh it off with me and solve it fast. I know of only one other company online anywhere in the world with the same level of excellence - Jotform. Both of these companies are setting new standards and saving me tons of Advil...! Thank You, Jobboard.io Steve.

"Excellent Usability and Service"
Overall: JobBoard.io was very easy to get launched and and skinned, and the JobBoard.io team has been very responsive to requests for help, as well as feedback on product functionality and addition of features. We chose JobBoard.io because the core functions were solidly implemented with a good user experience, but they've since expanded with several very useful tools to market and measure the job board. And honestly, we've not been apple to keep up with implementing all the tools as they rolled out, but are happy with the ones we do, and with the little tweaks our feedback helped form.

"lots of candidates"
Pros: Have found alot of great candidates and hired lots of great candidates from using this job board
Cons: all works great and easy to use sometimes tho candidates act a little confused as to how their resume was distributed
"No more headache with my Jobboard!"
Overall: no more headache, all in one, every feature i need, a great support! The software is better than every webmaster or programmer I ever hired. So even the pricing is more than ok.
Pros: It is so unbelieveable easy to set up and run! Much more than "do it yourself", it is magic :). It looks clean and organized. It offers every feature you need for high quality jobboards. The support team is fast, friendly and competent !!!
