this component promises much and is billed as highly flexible....it is such a shame as it has great features but is absolutely full of problems and bugs....it sounds great the 7 day money back offer but you need 4 weeks to properly evaluate it to find that its doesnt work........
the support forum try their best ( on a very sporadic basis) but one bug leads to another...then you wait weeks..........then no one gets back to you
even the ticketing system just fobs you off everytime blaming the devs'are working on it............there is no documentation at all apart from the wiki....on how to install and admin.........which might be useful if i could get the damn thing working!!!!
i have asked time and again and even offerd to pay the devs more to install and sort it............NOTHING!!!
and there are never any explanation as toi what the code fixes are or info on the bugs so others can learn
check the forums.........you see if even ONE person has posted in the showcase forum???the forum is full of really angry people all absolutely fed up with this...........
honestly.........save your money as this is the most frustrating expereince i have had with any joomla component in 5 years of using joomla!!!

This component is very robust and....expensive. I am fine with paying for it but there needs to be a bit more for a 5* rating. Nonetheless, this component is worth it, for me at least. It does much more than any other job board component.
Pros:
- I can import jobs from virtually anywhere (via xml)
- good support
Cons:
- lack of documentation
- no cron job support for job imports
- some settings I would have thought to be a common feature therefore I was told to customize myself (which is ok, but they should've been included in the component to begin with)
- import and export should really have a csv option (this is common)
- a quirky problem with an element with id="logo". should've been called something else.
- prepackaged language needs to be revised by the team. Too many errors for an enterprise component.

This product has so much potential - it works (just) and there are a lot of features. Yes the price is high BUT the customer service and support is fantastic and very quick.
Like I said, its not perfect however, there is a great team behind the project that is actively developing the product.
Bugs are fixed quickly and features are added regulary.
Good product, good support, active and good updates, however, not quiet perfect.
Enjoy - and thanks.

Thanks for your comments, rightly said this component is under active development & its a big component, bound to have bugs, we strive to fix them asap. 18th version since its release states its activeness.
i've purchased this component.the price is high, but i think this component deserves this. A lot of functionality and great support team.
