Job board theme

Hey everyone!

Anyone knows of a job board theme for Ghost? A newsletter theme could probably function as well, but a job board would require some custom fields.

I think Ghost could function very well as a job board website based on the functionalities it already has with memberships.

Maybe someone wants to build one such theme in the near future. :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Hey @dsecareanu!
Did you find a job board theme since then?

Ghost themes don’t have custom fields for posts. (There are a small number of sitewide custom fields, but they don’t solve this problem.)

If I had to build a jobs board on Ghost (which is probably the wrong tool for the job), I’d think about each job post being a Ghost post. I’d use tags for location (for broad areas, not specific zip codes), job type, and salary range, which would make it somewhat possible to filter and sort job posts. And of course, if you were running a job board, you’d want a way for users to submit jobs, right? You could build that with a form on the site that triggered a cloud function that created a draft post.
But really, this is trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Ghost is a blogging platform, and if you’re talking about content that looks really different from blog posts, you may be better served by a different platform.

Nope, I don’t think so. Eventually I built the website on WordPress.

Wordpress once started out as a blogging platform. Currently blogging on Wordpress is the worst experience you can ever have with blogging.

A bit late, but we create a Ghost theme that can do that:
