Jobs and Services on a Board: Help Wanted, Help Offered

Written by Melinda Haughey

This article is about the Proxi admin app at app.proxi.co. Boards are in beta.

A job or service card is a card with a few extra fields: who's hiring or offering, what it pays, and a button that gets people in touch. On the board they show as Help Wanted and Help Offered, and they can come from you, from the posting form, or from a business's portal.

Adding One

In Cards, click Add Card → A Job or Service, or pick Job Opening or Service Offered as the card type. Then:

  • Who's hiring (or Who's offering it) — pick one of your listings. The card shows the business's name and links to it, and the business's own page lists the opening under Now Hiring. No listing? Type the name instead.

  • Pay or Rate — from and to, per hour, per year, or flat. In dollars. Leave both blank to leave pay off the card.

  • Email for replies — where the button sends people when there's no link.

  • Title and Details — hours, what the job involves, who it suits.

  • Link and Button label — an application page or booking form. The button reads Apply or Get in Touch unless you change it.

A job or service starts with a month on the board rather than a week. Tick Keep it up until I take it down for a standing listing.

Marking It Filled

When the job is filled or the service is no longer offered, open the card's row menu and choose Mark as Filled (or Take It Down for a service). Pick a reason and the card comes off the board, labeled Filled in your list.

The Check-In Email

A week before a job or service card ends, the person who posted it gets one email: still open? Keep It Open adds another month. It's Filled takes it down. Each card gets this email once, and only if it has an end date and came in with an email address. Cards you add yourself without one don't get it; just edit the dates.

A Jobs Board

The Jobs & Services starter sets all this up: both card types on, posting open to your businesses, and filter tags by sector so visitors can jump to Restaurants & Cafés or Trades & Repair. Share it as a grid or a list, and the Help Wanted and Help Offered cards sort themselves into two columns on the TV.

Good to Know

  • Job cards carry structured details that search engines understand, so a public board's openings can show up in job search results. The board has to be published with Public switched on.

  • Every tap on Apply or Get in Touch is counted on the card's row.

  • A business posting from the portal has its listing filled in already.
