| Your Job Shop |
What is Job Shop?
The FCS Job Shop is a highly flexible and customisable job board application. Out of the box we offer tried and tested scripts
that deliver a friendly and intuitive interface for your prospective candidates to search and view your jobs online and easy access
to advanced features like email alerts and a shopping cart style method of applying to multiple jobs from a single form.
At First Choice Software our web developers have many years of experience in both website design and application development. This means that should you require extended functionality or a careful re-branding / merge with an existing website, then we are always able to discuss customisation of the core Job Shop product.
Job Shop is now in its third major version and has recently been recoded from the ground up to ensure that incremental improvements added in recent years are programmed into the core of the application. This means that when you purchase Job Shop you can be sure that our features are all designed to work in unison and benefit from the peak of our programming experience.

What do I get?
Although Job Shop is designed to be as big or as small as you are, the base product you'll buy is 'Job Shop v3.0'. Out
of the box you get everything you see on this site, except the email alerts module. We can streamline the interface by
replacing the searchable fields with direct links to preset searches of your jobs or expand on the available searchable fields
using custom fields from your RDB database.
The price of Job Shop includes a year's hosting, technical support and the following features:

Personalisation?
Your web site will often be the first point of contact for new candidates so it's imperative that it carries your company
branding and tells a user what they can expect from your service. Therefore, basic re-branding is included in the price of Job
Shop. Often we are asked to build the application into a pre-existing website, at its most basic level Job Shop can be fitted
into any layout that provides enough space to show the search, results and details pages.
If you do not have a pre-existing web site we can design one with you. With guidance from our web designers we will help build a virtual storefront for your business with space for your static content such as About Us and Contact Us pages.
Please contact sales or your account manager to discuss your requirements or see our portfolio.

What do you need from me?
the fine print:
Once we have a signed purchase order and an agreed specification, we can begin building your site. We will schedule the development and keep you informed on the project's progress.
At intervals during development we will ask you to review a copy of the site hosted on a development server. This will allow you to verify that we have met the specification correctly and once we have completed development and allow you to sign off the project. During this sign-off phase you may wish to make adjustments to parts of the specification. If these changes require extra development over and above the specification, we may have to charge for the extra time required to re-develop the application.
As the owner of the site it is your responsibility to sign-off on the application. This means that, although we will always thoroughly test the application, you must have the final say that the site is working as you would like it to. Additionally, First Choice Software cannot pledge to check content that you supply for grammatical, spelling, or accuracy errors.
After a project has been signed off, any further development will be chargeable.
Once the application is signed off we will be ready to officially launch the site. To do this you will need to be the owner of a domain name (i.e. www.rdbpro.co.uk). We will move the application to our live web server.
First Choice Software can provide all aspects of website design, development, email and hosting. To get started, please contact the First Choice Software Sales Team on 01256 314600 or email us at sales@firstchoice.org.uk to discuss your requirements.
