Overview

Where we are now

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/careers
https://college.mozilla.com
http://linoderedis.server.serverboy.net/wp/

What we want to improve

• need to serve 4 channels: career, volunteer, foundation and college
• Better integration with Jobvite feeds so user can stay on Mozilla.org site longer.
• college is a seperate site, in wordpress, but we’ll want to tie in to it
• want the visitor to be able to slice by location, experience and level
• improvements to the application process. e.g. can we add fields that will enable us to screen applicants earlier?
• Want to add team videos. Can shoot them over time and add as ready.
• On the careers landing page, we should consider featuring / linking to the following:
  • MozSpaces and Offices (Map?)
  • Featured WFH setups
  • YouTube Channel with employees & what they do
  • Salary info (e.g that we offer competitive pay)

Work So Far

• Prototype: [1]

(NB: you need to be connected to MPT vpn to see this)

• Mockups: [2]
• Bret's notes:
  • Note 1
  • Note 2
  • Note 3

Next Steps

We need to determine as a group what the next steps are.

Notes

• Another improvement - Create a map of the organization. How the different teams are connected.
• How will we host volunter, foundation positions? Might put them in JobVite.
• Careers on Mozilla.com really needs to be a portal.
• Will use the new Mozilla.org look and feel.
• Technical implementation can be simple (e.g. static pages with json for simple sorting)
