I love love LOVE that you have created this!

It would be nice if the search feature were a little more advanced–I’d like to be able to search by location, for instance.

I love the concept. I expect it will be a great pull considering the service offered is free. People love free. I think the site holds a lot of promise.

@jessabean: it`s already possible to search for a location with the existing search function. But for the future more advanced search options are in the pipeline.

Just thought you might wanna know that the “S” in “JOBS” looks like it isn’t kerned properly, and the other spacing in that word is inconsistant with the kerning in “SMASHING”. Maybe I’m just anal. I don’t know.

Awesome idea though!

Eric (February 27th, 2008, 11:01 pm)

Nice job on the jobs page. It would be cool if people could upload their resume.

I love the work you guys are doing, I just learned about Smashing a few month’s ago, and it is my favorite site!

Brian B (February 27th, 2008, 11:34 pm)

I like the pages. A couple of suggestions:
1. Make the job posters put a salary/hourly rate or range. I hate having to go through the effort only to find out the rates are half of what I normally get. It is painful and gives employers an opportunity to undercut the market rates.
2. I wonder about the top bar navigation. It took me a while to realize that this is a magazine and not a complete job website. I would separate the Jobs section into a new domain and then link to that domain from the main site. I am still confused as to where I am right now….on a blog, a job site, a magazine?

Gerd Wippich (February 28th, 2008, 12:56 am)

I agree with Brian B, and I think as it grows the job page needs more search criteria and orientation. I do not only want to search for Designer/Programmer, but also for job location, salary etc.
Otherwise a good idea. Good luck with this project!

Congrats on the launch!

Fodcj (February 28th, 2008, 2:39 am)

Firstly great job site, well done!

Was wondering if anyone knows of any good Wordpress Plugins to create similar job sections on our own sites? I don’t want to populate others jobs but to have the feature so employers can add there own directly. Is there a plugin system like this?

Cheers for the help
