customising RM to be a JOB manager for employment agency
|
Can't Post
|
|
hi dave
understand that somebody has customized "Realty Manager" for the employment agency industry
what i need
- allow my clients to post their jobs directly pending my approval for submission. Have some flexibility in allowing most trusted to do so directly without going thru approval
- restrict them from publishing their own company's name
- allow responses to come back to my company
understand that Job Manager is not able to do that as well as RM.
could you point me to the company who has done just that with RM
like to get in touch with him

Hi Albert,
I don't know of any of our clients who've customized Realty Manager for the employment agency industry, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least. Where did you hear about them?
Concerning your requirements, let me just make a few comments.
> allow my clients to post their jobs directly pending my approval for submission. Have some flexibility in allowing most trusted to do so directly without going thru approval
This is a feature that's offered in our Article Manager software, but not Realty Manager I'm afraid. All users who logged in would (unless their account was disabled) be allowed to automatically upload their listings. This is a good feature request, though. I shall pass it along.
> restrict them from publishing their own company's name
Certainly. What you could do is customize your database to exclude that field. That way it wouldn't appear on the published pages.
> allow responses to come back to my company
You could do this in a number of ways. The simplest way would be to simply provide email links on your site so that people could send you messages directly via email. Is this what you had in mind, or something else?
> understand that Job Manager is not able to do that as well as RM.
Job Manager is a considerably less flexible program. With Realty Manager, for instance, you'd have complete control over your database fields (75 listings fields and 50 homepage fields) and you'd have a built-in search engine which would allow your website visitors to search your listings.
Hope this helps. :-)

Hi Albert :-)
From what you've described, I would suggest Realty Manager. The reason being, it lends itself more to listing things; and it sounds like that is at the heart of what you're trying to acheive - listing jobs.
Concerning your further requirements, all your registered clients (i.e. those people with an account) will be able to log in and edit their own postings. Also, anyone with administrator access could do precisely what you need: they would have control over everyone's listings, so they could edit and remove any of them.
In terms of compare and contrast, here's a few things to consider:
- Article Manager has some very useful features, such as a webfeed generator (allows other people to put your articles on their website)
- Realty Manager has a stronger search engine; so if you need to provide your site visitors with as much control as possible
- Article Manager has an archiving feature which effectively lets you have as many articles as you want on your site. Realty Manager, however has a recommended max of 2,000 - 2,500 listings.
- Realty Manager has 75 fully modifiable listing database fields - and 50 homepage fields - which enable you to store whatever data you wish. Article Manager has only 20.
- Article Manager has built-in categories, whereas you have to 'emulate' them within Realty Manager.
It's a tough decision, but I would personally lean towards Realty Manager - it sounds more appropriate to your requirements.
Hope this helps, Albert. :-)

hi ben
Can interactive put in this requirement for RM - allow super administrator to approve listing b4 they are published (so that the employment agency has complete control of listing b4 they go online)
- allow the company's HR to assign posting rights to their individual dept heads/adminstrators (without going thru the super administrator). I believe this can be done with RM . Please confirm this .
- explain how the categories function can only be emulated with RM , as compared with Article Manager
We do have many categories, eg IT, admin, HR, marketing
Can superadministrator preset such categories ?
Are candidates able to search by categories alone
Are companies able to post by categories
thnx

Hi Albert,
Thanks for your post! 
> Can interactive put in this requirement for RM - allow super administrator to approve listing b4 they are published (so that the employment agency has complete control of listing b4 they go online)
I'll certainly add this to our feature request list, but it won't be appearing any time soon. If you're extremely keen on acquiring this functionality, it's just possible you could work something out with our custom programming department... but I really couldn't say for sure. Perhaps contact our head of custom programming, Theo Wiesma (theo@interactivetools.com) about this. He would be able to give a more measured response, and estimate the cost of such a project.
> allow the company's HR to assign posting rights to their individual dept heads/adminstrators (without going thru the super administrator). I believe this can be done with RM . Please confirm this .
Yes, this is perfectly do-able. If you award the company's HR department "Administrator" access, they themselves could create accounts for their respective department heads.
> explain how the categories function can only be emulated with RM , as compared with Article Manager
With Article Manager, categories are a built-in capacity of the program - as you can see from looking at the "Category Editor" in the Article Manager demo interface. With Realty Manager, you'd create categories like this:
1. Create a new listing field containing the names of your 'categories'. Then, for each listing that is inputted, you would set this field appropriately.
2. In your actual site, you could hardcode links to your categories (e.g. IT, HR, Marketing). These would link directly to Realty Manager's search engine, asking it to ONLY retrieve those listings that had been assigned to a particular category.
That, in brief, is how it would be done.
> Can superadministrator preset such categories ?
Yes, the superuser would be the one to initially setup the database and build the custom links on the website - effectively 'creating' the categories.
> Are candidates able to search by categories alone
Certainly! You could either provide direct links to the categories, or include all category choices in a search form.
> Are companies able to post by categories
Yes. When they originally input the listing, they would see a "Category" dropdown box, where they'd choose the appropriate category.
Hope this helps :-)
