Filter feature in job board

[Fluffle]

Filter for: Job level (eg. user input ones internship, entry level, senior), also job type (eg. ux design, graphic design, etc). Was thinking both filters would have user generated entries

Similar to events widget, event type category

Hello,

Thanks for submitting your request!

We will try to consider filter options for the Job Board widget as I do see how convenient they would be.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Yes, being able to filter by required skills would be great!

Original comment from Patricia Gatlin transferred from the previous Wishlist portal:

Hello, your site shows it as a function on the job board page. This should be a top priority because it’s false advertising when the widget doesn’t actually have the feature you’re advertising.

Hello folks,

Thanks a lot for supporting this idea!

Patricia, thank you for your comment! I do understand how needed this option is and I’m really sorry that we don’t have it yet.

I guess we don’t have Filters option advertised on our website, however, if I’m wrong, could you please send me a link along with the screenshot where this is pointed out? I’ll be happy to check things out.

Thank you for your help!

Hi Helga,

The filter function is shown as a search button. It shows department, location, etc.

Hi Patricia,

Thanks a lot for the screenshots provided!

Now I see the issue and I’m extremely sorry for the confusion and misleading information.

I’ve been in contact with our dev team and they’d love to assure you that they’ll do their best to include these features in near updates.

Please let me bring our sincere apologies for this situation one more time

Hello folks!

I’m elated to say that we’re starting working on this feature: Filter feature in job board!

For us to deliver the best functionality possible, we’d be extremely grateful if you could join this discussion and provide as many details on how you’d love to see this feature as possible

These are our thoughts:

1. We’re planning to add filters for Location, Department, and Skills. We realize that there might be other cases, for instance to filter for Job Type or Job Level. We don’t have such fields and, to be blunt, we’d rather not to add a lot of new ones in order not to overweight the widget.

2. However, we intend to add an option to assign categories to vacancies, thus we’ll have a universal filter to group or filter out by other items. All in all, we’ll have 4 filters: Location, Department, Category, and Skills.

Does this sound OK for you, guys?

Thank you for your responses in advance!

Hi Helga,

It’s super important that our users are able to utilize these widget apps for a full experience. Leaving out things like: job Type or Job Level is counter productive. For example a Jr. Developer role is not like a Senior role. I understand the limited ability of widget but, the search feature should work by keywords? I do look forward to the roll out because this is vital piece of my business. I also would like an update about booking/appointment app.

Original comment from Melissa Parker transferred from the previous Wishlist portal:

I would love to this feature added to the job board. I have found myself creating multiple widgets so my users will have sorting functions.

[Me19]

I love the job board plugin, but I think it needs to have filtration to make the user search process easier.

[SimonLehmann]

Please add for the Job Board App a Filter that the user can search better by company, location, job level, etc.

[user2460]

A job board filter inspired by job boards like Seek, Indeed etc. would be incredibly useful.

[Helga]

@user2460 many thanks for your comments and examples!

I do hope filters will be introduced in one of the future updates, I’ll make sure to keep you updated here

Thanks a lot for your help and for joining our community!

[user2995]

Any news on this one?

[Helga]

@user2995 thank you for your interest and welcome to the Elfsight Community!

We do have plans on releasing filters for our Job Board app, but due to a lot of urgent tasks we’re not able to set an ETA at the moment, I’m really sorry

If anything changes and any news come up, I’ll let you know here right away

Thank you for your understanding!
