This site has a custom data integration with Bullhorn Recruiting Software.  All the job data you see on the site actually comes from an external web service and is loaded on the fly then you visit the various jobs pages or search for jobs.  Also, as a registered candidate, you can opt to receive new job postings as soon as they are published in Bullhorn.

To accomplish this integration in Joomla, I wrote a custom plug-in, component, and module.  If you include the custom Joomla theme, then I really touched all the bases of customizability within Joomla.  Through this project, I learned a lot about Joomla and grew to appreciate the programming interface.

I started working on this application after its inception, but prior to release.  I made it production ready and have been tuning it and adding features and functionality ever since.

Some interesting technology hightlights in use here are: DomainKeys for ensured email delivery, exporting data as Excel Spreadsheets, keyword searching over hundreds of thousands of resumes using Sphinx, and custom web page templating using LiquidTemplate.

This application is not public facing, so you cannot see it in action, but you can view CareerPlug’s corporate web site, which I also created using WordPress.

There is a full back-end administrative interface where users can edit destination information, upload building footprints and even re-route the driving directions provided by Google. As you can see when you pull up a destination, the building as well as any surrounding parking garages are overlayed onto the map.

I used the ExtInfoWindow to style the popup window and the ExtMapTypeControl to provide the traffic view. Finally, the wonderfully compact iBox was used for the photo and email overlays.

This was a very long project, but I had a lot of fun working on it.
