ALA JobList

The American Library Association hired Fig Leaf Software to create an online Job Bank application for the their members to find and post jobs.  The ALA is the oldest and largest library association in the world, with more than 64,000 members. Its mission is to promote the highest quality library and information services and public access to information. ALA offers professional services and publications to members and nonmembers, including online news stories from American Libraries and analysis of crucial issues from the Washington Office.


Fig Leaf created a Web-based Job Bank application with a full-featured ad management system that allows employers to place employment ads and search job seeker resumes and allows job seekers to post resumes and search for jobs. Additionally, job seekers can subscribe to job posting notification emails and anonymously communicate with employers. Employers can also display company profiles.

The ALA Job Bank application is fully customizable and almost every system feature can be controlled and configured using the administrator interface. Additionally, system administrators can elect to be notified whenever job postings are requests and can approve or review each posting. 

JOB SEEKER INTERFACE 

All visitors to the Job Bank site can
o Search job posting by state, salary range, position type and other criteria
o Subscribe to RSS feeds of job posting information
o Browse employer profiles

Registered Job Seekers can also
o Apply online for jobs and communicate with employers
o Create profiles and upload Resumes to be searched by employers
o Receive email notifications of new job postings on a real-time, daily or weekly basis
o Save job search criteria

EMPLOYER INTERFACE

Registered employers can
o Purchase online or magazine ads
o Preview ads
o Purchase banner ads
o Purchase subscriptions to display company profiles
o Communicate with job seekers

ADMINISTRATOR INTERFACE 

Job Bank Administrators can
o Review and approve employer ads
o Generate revenue, usage statistics and ad listing reports (all reports are viewable on screen or can be downloaded in .csv format)
o Maintain ad costs by line, word or issue
o Maintain lists of job categories, salary ranges, organization types and other information used throughout the site
o Maintain content of system generated emails including order confirmation, job posting notification, profile expiration and order notification emails
o Post charges for employers purchases including real-time credit card processing


The ALA JobList has continued to be a revenue source for the ALA while providing great value to the members who post and find jobs through the system. Since the time of launch, the ALA has been able to update the public interface screens as they were built to be easily modified to display a new “look and feel” in the event that the main site was redesigned.
