FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about JobSite Professional, the responsive PHP job site script: licensing, installation, requirements, monetization and support. Can't find your answer? Our team is happy to help.
Licensing
Do you provide the source code? Is it encrypted?
Yes. You receive the complete PHP source code and none of it is encrypted or obfuscated, at no extra cost. You, or any developer you hire, can change the code and add new features whenever you need to.
Is the price a one-time fee, or are there monthly charges?
It is a single payment. Once you have bought a license you can run the software for as many years as you like without any recurring fees. The price also covers the unencrypted source code, free installation on your hosting if you would like us to do it, and free technical support.
What is the difference between the Standard and the Enterprise license?
Only the number of websites. The Standard license is for one domain name (including any sub-folder on it), and you can move it to a different domain later at no charge. The Enterprise license covers an unlimited number of websites and domains, which suits agencies and developers who build job boards for clients. The features are exactly the same in both.
Can I start with the Standard license and upgrade later?
Yes. You can upgrade to the Enterprise license at any time and you only pay the difference in price.
Installation
Can you install it on my server, and how much does that cost?
Yes, and installation is free. Contact us before or after your purchase and send us the FTP and MySQL details for your hosting account. If it is easier for you, the login for your hosting control panel (for example cPanel) is enough. Most installations are finished within one to two hours of receiving the access details.
Can I install it myself? Is it difficult?
Most of our customers install it themselves, and it only takes a few minutes. Upload the files to your hosting account and open the built-in web installer. It creates the database tables and the configuration file for you.
What are the server requirements?
A standard Linux hosting account with PHP and a MySQL database is enough. The software runs well on PHP 7 and newer versions. To use the search engine friendly URLs, Apache mod_rewrite needs to be enabled, which is the case with almost every shared hosting provider. If you are not sure whether your hosting is compatible, send us the details and we will check it for you.
Product
What is new in version 8.0?
Version 8.0 adds artificial intelligence across the whole job board. Visitors can search with natural language, upload a CV and get jobs ranked by match score, and use AI to build a resume or write a cover letter. Employers get an AI assistant that writes job descriptions. The release also includes a redesigned admin dashboard, rebuilt mobile-friendly employer and jobseeker panels, CSV job import and export, team sub-accounts and updated job feed integrations. See every 8.0 feature.
How can I make money with my job site?
There are several revenue streams and you can combine them:
- Charge employers for posting jobs, with listing packages, recurring subscriptions, prepaid credits or direct pay-per-post
- Sell Featured Job upgrades that keep a vacancy at the top of search results
- Sell paid access to the resume / CV database
- Rent banner spaces, with your own sizes and prices for each zone
- Earn from job feed publisher programs and from ads such as Google AdSense
- Optionally charge jobseekers for premium services
You can also run the site for free while you build traffic and switch on payments later from the admin panel.
What job feeds are supported, and why should I use them?
Version 8.0 integrates with ZipRecruiter, Jooble, Talent.com, Adzuna and Careerjet. You can choose one main provider and mix in others. Feeds fill your board with thousands of real vacancies from the first day. That makes a new site far more attractive to jobseekers and to employers deciding where to advertise, and it gives search engines plenty of category and location pages to index. Jobs posted directly on your site always appear first.
Is the software multi-language? Can I translate it?
Yes. Everything on the interface comes from language files that you can edit in the admin panel or with any text editor, and you can run several languages side by side. Ready-made translations are available for many languages, so please ask us about the one you need.
Can I use my own categories, locations, currency and date format?
Yes. Categories and locations (with up to four sub-levels), the currency, date format and time zone can all be changed in the admin panel. We also have ready-made location lists for many countries that we can send you free of charge.
Can I change the design or use my own template?
Yes. You can change the accent colours, backgrounds, logo, fonts and homepage sections directly in the admin panel. Because you have the full source code, you can also edit the templates or integrate a completely custom design.
Can I combine JobSite Professional with your other scripts?
Yes. It works alongside CV Bank, PHP Classified Ads, PHP Business Directory, Event Portal, PHP Support Desk and our other products, either on the same website with a single login or on separate sites and folders.
Support
Which payment methods do you accept when I buy the software?
Most customers pay by credit card or PayPal. We also accept bank wire transfer, Revolut, Western Union, Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies. If you would like to pay another way, please contact us.
Do you offer customization services?
Yes. We regularly add custom features and adapt designs for our customers. Send us your requirements and we will reply with what is possible, how long it would take and a cost estimate. Since you have the source code, your own developers can also work on the site and we are happy to answer their questions.
Do you provide support in languages other than English?
Yes. You can contact our support team in English, Spanish or French. Depending on the time of day, phone support may be available in English only, but email and ticket support are always available in all three languages.
