This is the public facing part that visitors to the website see. It is designed to enable job seekers to search for, view and apply for jobs. They can also register an account on the system, save a resume/CV and setup email alerts so that newly added jobs that match their requirements are automatically emailed to them.

This area enables recruiters to log in to post or update jobs, search resumes/CVs and carry out administration tasks on their account.

The password-protected back end system enables the owner or operator of the Parodia system to log in, administer customer accounts, candidate (job seeker) accounts, change configuration settings on the site, and all the other functions that are necessary to the operation of a live job board website.

This user guide will focus on the back end system. A separate guide is available for the Third Party (Recruiter) Control Panel.

Candidates can be searched by ID number, or a part of their name or email address. In addition, if the Parodia install is running multiple job boards, users can be filtered by the site they registered on. The results will return as many candidates as match the search.

From time to time the need might arise to export candidate data from the system, for example a seasonal marketing email. Tick boxes on the export form enable fields to be selected for inclusion in the export. Candidates can be filtered based on whether they are active or not (ie have logged in within a specified period of time). The export can be to TXT file or CSV.

From time to time the need might arise to disable candidate accounts on the system. This may be because email alerts to them are bouncing, or because the candidate wishes to prevent any further emails to them (eg if someone maliciously or mistakenly signs up using an email address belonging to someone else, that user will get the confirmation/activation emails). One or more email addresses to be blocked can be entered in a list and blocked from further emails.
