I'm creating a job aggregator site that is intended to collate and list job postings off of other various job sites (indeed, simplyhired, monster etc.) and present them in a coherent format.
It would be location-specific with a high level of granularity down to a postcode/ zip-code level.
Therefore, I am looking for a geo-location sensitive solution, that would allow me to dissect and group the job listings by postcodes and job types, and cluster them into regional groupings.
I am currently at the very early stages of research, and I am just looking for a robust and simple solution running off an easy to manage technology.
Simplicity to manage and automation capabilities are important factors so SaaS is pretty much out of the question. I’d be keen to implement ready-to-launch templated CMS solution.
I am looking for the following:
- CMS: scalable, no coding required, SEO-friendly. I'm looking for technology that would satisfy my requirements whilst being easy to implement and cost-effective.
- Theme/ template: Job board style, clean, simple design. Login option. User and Recruiter dashboard with post the job and upload resume functionalities.
- Search engine plug-in: allowing geo-location search in 3 different ways: by postcode (select multiple) OR by selecting multiple regions/ sub-regions OR by selecting a state with a focus on rural areas. Plus, of course it needs to include the search by job classification/ job category type.
- Job aggregator plug-in: XLM/ RSS feed module with crawlers that would index the job postings from the job sites and automatically update the results page.
- Automation, marketing-modules, email marketing, analytics: other enhancements that are easy to implement with a plug-in.
- needs to be scalable, have stackable modules for mobile responsiveness that I can easily drag & drop without the requirement of a developer in the future to make simple changes.
- Could possibly be an off-the-shelf solution such as WordPress that is enhanced for additional geo search functionalities (happy to consider other solutions).
- Also I'm looking for hosting recommendations that would be most appropriate for this technology.
The site will essentially act as a search engine for jobs with a fairly advanced geographical search and grouping component.
Happy to elaborate further of what I am trying to achieve. Please get back to me with your vision, what solutions would you use and how would you implement them. Also how much time and cost would be required and your portfolio of work and if you've worked on anything similar in the past.
