Job Board Catch-all

Open alysivji opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

This ticket tracks high-level progress of new features for Chicago Python Job Board

High Priority

  • [x] sending emails to ChiPy board when a job has been submitted -- #313
  • [ ] periodically post jobs from website to Twitter, LinkedIn, or Slack
    • this has been spun out as #319
    • it would be great if this job board is the only way people can promote jobs on our Slack

Nice to haves

  • [ ] "featured jobs" -- have a way for sponsors job to stand out
  • [ ] search; good feature to add once we have more jobs

PR #314 addresses #313 (sending emails to admin when job has been submitted.)

PR #315 addresses "featured jobs"

@alysivji , could you please expand on this further? I'm not sure what you mean by this. Would the posting from the job board to Twitter, LinkedIn, or Slack be automated somehow? (Also, the second sentence seems to conflict with the first sentence.)

Not sure what the integration looks like, but it would be nice to post jobs to other social media channels. We should start with Slack and maybe add Twitter and LinkedIn at a later time.

The main problem is that currently when people post jobs on Slack, they are not (explicitly) agreeing to the terms of ChiPy's Job Referral program. if we have a rule that you can't post jobs unless you submit to the job board, it might fix this issue. That's the main idea; I'd have to think about this issue a bit more before I can write up a user story.

Things I'm not sure about yet... Should we build a new Slack integration? Piggyback on one we already have? Does it make sense to build an endpoint in Busy Beaver that the job board can use to post messages or announcements?

If you are interested in working on this feature, I can write up a task.

Also, let's wait until we merge the PRs before we mark items as done :D

I'd be interested in hearing about the feature. I'll probably work at it at a more relaxed pace, because I have other things to attend to. Thanks for working out the details!

Sure thing regarding waiting to checkmark the completed items! :thumbsup:
