I installed JobGrok premium on a client website and was up and running with minutes. It was easy to configure and any problems I had were answered very quickly by Bob.
The project is seems to developing and improving rapidly with suggestions from users being implemented in the regular updates.
What would really enhance the service would be better documentation. That is not to say the component is hard to use, but there are some excellent features that you would not stumble across unless told.

I just set up a clients website using JobGroc! Not only was the installation simple but training the users was straight forward.
I would also like to thank the guys at jobgroc.com for their prompt support requests. So, Thanks.

One of the advantages of Joomla! is the sheer number of extensions that are available to extend the base installation. If you are looking to include a method for add job recruitment I would recommend that you take a look at JobGrok. The authors have a good understanding of the open source model of software development offering both a free and a commercial version, and offer support for both.
Beyond just the OS Model, JobGrok has easy to understand code, well commented and easy to follow along. No obfuscation or complex objects with hidden trails to find. Modifications are relatively easy if you read the notations. Just what good OS code should be.
On the implementation side, it is easy to install, and easy for end-user admins to manage once it is up and running. This is key since most "managers" of this type of package will be from Human Resource departments, while installers and code maintenance will be done by IT staff.
While ready for prime-time, the developers seem to also understand that, like most Open Source projects, it is growing and evolving. My experience with the support staff has been positive when suggesting areas of improvement and possible additions to the package. I do not have enough time using JobGrok yet to give any feedback on how/when those suggestions get implemented, but they have been very receptive to ideas.
Our company is moving ahead with using JobGrok, and I have to at least recommend giving it a serious try. I was able to give a working demo to our HR department with just a few hours of installation and population of the multitude of options available. This extension definitely deserves two thumbs up. I look forward to seeing this project grow even further.
