Really nice start

Yes, we all know that Indeed has free company profiles, but they're ugly, limited, and that matters for my review.

I've been looking for a job posting solution for quite some time. I run a freelance shop, and let me state up front that EasyJobs doesn't seem to be geared towards or acknowledge freelance (beyond lumping it in with Contractual). In fact, there are only two job classifications: Permanent and Contractual. Unlike a lot of other fields with Easy Jobs, a custom solution can't be written in. (Full Time, Part Time, Freelance, Internship, College Program all come to mind quickly). I especially need Freelance and Internship as I'm an educator that identified and builds professional talent from universities.

The type of minor complaint you just read from me? It's pretty much representative of my concerns... minor.

Pros:
- Agency at 4 codes
- Custom domain
- Great aesthetics
- Great HR pipeline management
- Can create quizzes to give to candidates
- Can message candidates from within the platform

Cons:
- Can't preview draft jobs, but can strange preview open postings (this is sort of crazy)
- Job types are limited to Permanent and Contract (no Intern, Freelance, etc.)
- No ability to toggle a position as "remote" to make that searchable
- Office times show up on all postings, so not great for flex, virtual, remote, or freelance
- Must enter the number of job vacancies and this gets published (would prefer to be private)
- Can't turn off the "benefits" section (again relating to freelance)
- Doesn't integrate with job posting boards

Did you notice that last con? This, while rated high by me who doesn't care, is NOT a tool for those who need to "blast" a job out to the world. It doesn't seem to integrate with other tools and while I saw Zapier in the roadmap, there aren't any specifics on what abilities that will actually entail.

As for my personal concerns, I'm not asking this tool to re-engineer itself for me just because I create freelance and internship opportunities... and I can "get around" every issue (for the most part) like most job posters do--by simply "correcting" whats posted in the text--but I imagine that a lot of us on here are more prone to creating part time and freelance positions at a higher rate than other job creation engines (like big businesses churning out full time employees), and the ability to not distinguish between the various types of permanent and contractual job positions is a major issue for some, even if its minor for others. It could create some legal issues for some, but I'm certainly in the Not-A-Lawyer status.

Four tacos. One removed for being a little too locked in to a Permanent/Contract dichotomy... and an imaginary taco removed because a draft job can't be previewed (which is so insane, I assume/hope it's a temporary oversight).

Outcome: I have one code now to review, considering the three more for agency because this gets the job done and I hope it advances.
