JobberBase is an open source job board application written in php / mysql.
It’s pretty powerful and is open source, so I’ve decided to use it for one of my many sideline projects that I promised myself to get off the ground this year.
Unfortunately there wasn’t any SQL for the counties of Ireland, so I did up a simple one last night.
You can grab it here
Thanks to Paul from BlackDog for recommending the script!
From James Mernin:
Two questions that got me curious:
1. Why did you include Belfast as a county, resulting in 33 counties in total?
2. Why did you include the first entry for Ireland with the id of -1.
From Michele Neylon:
James
1 – simply because it’s the only major urban centre that isn’t the same name as the actual county itself. Cork is in Cork, Dublin is in Dublin etc
2 – You’ll notice on the install at technicaljobs.ie that Ireland is showing slightly indented – that’s why / how

From Hugh:
I like it – nice and simple…
Pity the recruitment market is in a bit of a hoop these days though
From Gary Daly:
Nice. Could be a lot of work for you though? Considering the spam that actually gets published as jobs on job sites and the usual penis enlargement spam.
From Michele Neylon:
Gary
That’s a fair point, but as it’s written in PHP it wouldn’t be that hard to use some simple GEO IP code to deny certain IP ranges access to the job submission page ie. as it’s aimed at Ireland then blocking everywhere else from that one page shouldn’t cause any negative impact.
