The use cases for Plone are almost limitless, but career/recruiting websites are something almost all organizations need at some point, including for private businesses, NGOs or governmental agencies.

In this talk I will give an array of case studies, examining multiple career/recruiting websites I have implemented in recent years.

Even though the end goal of convincing employees to join an organization is similar for all organizations, the projects had quite different requirements in detail. I will present the differing requirements from a wide range of projects, technical and general, and give some insight into how potential challenges were approached and finally solved.

During my 5 years working with Plone, I had the chance to work on a wide array of different projects for all sorts of clients, from small local businesses to big governmental agencies. In that time one type of project kept popping up quite regularly and that were career websites. Which, looking at it, makes sense: All different kinds of organizations need people to join them.

So after implementing quite a few of those sites, I decided that it might be cool to present some of them to showcase, both features common to all of the projects as well as the individual specialties of each projects.
