At my day job yesterday, I was working on a company blog project and in the process just redescovered a tool that I had used before but had forgotten about during the last six or seven months. The tool is the Jobamatic job board builder powered by SimplyHired.

 The main service as I remembered it was one which allowed just about anyone to create and manage a job board on a jobamatic subdomain. Everything was turn-key then, and after my revisit appears to remain so. But I do see some marked improvements as they have added some great features like customizable HTML/CSS and they are also allowing the board to be hosted on your own domain name.

To my surprise (I don’t recall whether this was present earlier when I first stubled upon it), I noticed a “reports” tab in the administrator dashboard. Out of curiousity I clicked on it and noticed that they are paying publishers per click and per impression (PPC and eCPM appear within the reports). I thought this was excellent when I first saw it. Now, I think it is even more excellent as the impressions seem to add up rather quickly because as far as I can tell impressions are per job posting–i.e. if you have 20 jobs listed on your board you will see impressions adding up in increments of 20 per page load.

 Wait there’s more

Okay, so now here’s another great thing about jobamatic–they allow you to sell job postings at a price which you set (although it must be at least $5 for as long as you’d like).  You simply set up a widget or install the code on your site and the links will lead interested job posters to a form where they’ll submit their job openings and then a payment processing page after that for them to send you payment.

I am thinking about setting up a job board here on sitecash using the service but am not completely sure whether it will add value to your experience when you visit. I’d like to hear your thoughts on whether it would add value or not and perhaps why you think so. If the concensus is that it won’t  do much for you, then I will scrap the idea. However, if enough of you feel differently then I will experiment with it on an additional navigation tab to make it less instrusive.
