I recently posted a job on this board and we’ve had a few applications so we’re quite happy.

There’s three things I think could be improved from the point of view of the job poster:

1. don’t display the email address of the poster, let people apply through the site.
2. allow the poster to specify whether he or she wants to be bombarded with offers from recruiters and/or software development companies and prominently display their choice on the ad.
3. don’t let anyone click the link to edit/remove the ad unless they are logged in as the poster. I get regular emails saying I’ve requested to edit the ad when I have not, presumably because somebody has hit that link. Come to think of it just let them edit it.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you’re getting good responses.

1) Some people prefer to be contacted directly. We’ll look at making in an option so you have the choice.
2) You can always put “No recruiters” in the text but in my experience, they ignore it anyway. Same would happen if there was a tick box for it. If anyone has any great ideas on this we’d love to hear them.
3) The trouble is, not everyone posting a job has an account – it’s not required. However, we’ll change it so that if you DO have an account you have to be logged in to edit and yes, then they won’t need an email link.

Thanks again.
