The Solaris version requires a Sun SPARC or compatible platform. The Digital Unix and OSF/1 binary requires an Alpha platform. IRIX requires a Silicon Graphics platform. Cobalt Linux (MIPS) requires a MIPS platform. Compiled versions for other Linux or Unix versions are available upon request.

You can have the experts install pssRecruit for you, using our Installation and Customization Service.

pssRecruit is easy to install. You can have your copy of pssRecruit installed and running in a few minutes by following the step-by-step instructions, below.

Before you start, be sure that you have...
• Downloaded the correct version for the operating system on your web server
• A location on your web server that has execution enabled
• Access to your web server to be able to change file permissions, create directories, and copy executable files.

Step-by-Step Instructions...
• Step 1. After retrieving the download package for your operating system, extract the distribution files into a temporary location.
• Step 2. Open the pssRecruit.ini file in a text editor. Select the URL = line appropriate for your system (...pssRecruit.exe for NT/Win2000 or ...pssRecruit.cgi for all others). Change this URL = line to the complete URL where you intend to install pssRecuit. Delete the other URL = line that does not apply.
• Step 3. Copy the pssRecruit files to the location on your Web Server that has execution enabled. If you use ftp, use binary mode.
• NT Version -- The default location on IIS v4.0 is "C:\Inetpub\scripts".
• Linux/Unix Version -- The default location on Apache v1.3.9 is /home/httpd/cgi-bin or /usr/local/www/cgi-bin.
• Step 4. Set file and directory permissions to permit file execution, reading and writing for the pssRecruit directory and files on your web server.
  • NT Version -- The default location on IIS v4.0 is "C:\Inetpub\scripts". On a web server running Windows (2000, NT) and IIS5, IIS4 or PWS the IUSR_xxx should have "Full Control" to the pssRecruit directory and all subdirectories and files. Configurations vary and your server may not have this by default. If you have trouble adding pssRecruit users or new job postings, a system administrator may need to add specific permissions for IUSR_ to the pssRecruit directories and files.
    The NTFS File Permissions are set by Right clicking on the directory, select Properties, Security, Permissions, Add, Show Users, Select IUSR_xxx, Full Control.
  • Linux/Unix Version -- The default location on Apache v1.3.9 is /home/httpd/cgi-bin or /usr/local/www/cgi-bin. The name (or #number) of the user/group that httpd runs as must have ability to read and write all pssRecruit files. Additionally, you must chmod to give execute access for the user/group that httpd runs as to the pssRecruit.cgi file and execute access to the Postings directory. From the parent directory of pssRecruit issue the following commands chmod 666 -R pssRecruit, chmod 711 pssRecruit. Then change directory to pssRecruit and issue the following commands: chmod 755 pssRecruit.cgi and chmod 777 -R Postings . If you have trouble adding pssRecruit users or new job postings, a system administrator may need to add specific permissions for the user/group that httpd runs as to the pssRecruit directories and files. Here it is step-by-step:
    

    1.Navigate to cgi-bin directory (must be the parent directory of pssRecruit directory). cd /home/httpd/cgi-bin 2.Apply rw-rw-rw- mask to pssRecruit directory and everything in it - read/write for all on everything. chmod 666 -R pssRecruit 3. Apply rwx--x--x mask to directory - Make directory executable for all and writeable for httpd(owner). chmod 711 pssRecruit 4. Change to pssRecruit directory. cd pssRecruit 5. Apply rwxr-xr-x mask to pssRecruit.cgi - Make executable/read for all and writeable for httpd(owner). chmod 755 pssRecruit.cgi 6. Apply rwxrwxrwx mask to Postings directory and everything in it - Make postings read/write/exe for all. chmod 777 -R Postings 7. Done. exit

• Step 5.
Generate 30 Day License Key. Run pssRecruit the first time by typing the URL for your installation into the address bar of your favorite web-browser. The first time you run pssRecruit, it will generate and display a 30 day license key. Re-open the pssRecruit.ini file and replace the temporary key on the Key = line. Save changes and copy the new INI file to your web server. NOTE: The temporay key is only good for generating the 30 day license key, you MUST copy this 30 day license key into the Key = field of your pssRecruit.ini file.
• Step 6. Add a new administrator username/password. After you have the proper Key in your pssRecruit.ini file, you can change the initial admin user account. To gain 'Admin' access to pssRecruit, navigate to the URL
  http://YourDomain/PathToTheExecutable/pssRecruit.exe?-admin
  Upon accessing the administrative interface the initial display in your web browser is the login screen. Continue access by entering the username admin and the password 1234 then click on the 'Login' button. Passwords and user names are case sensitive (i.e. Password is different than password and recruiter1 is not the same user as Recruiter1). The first time you logon to pssRecruit you will be prompted to add a new administrative user. After clicking the AddUser button you will be logged off. You should then log on as the new administrator and delete the initial packaged username (admin). Now you are ready to add more recruiter and administrative users as explained below.
• Step 7. Place links on your web site to the pssRecruit application. For example, "www.mycompany.com/scripts/pssRecruit.exe" or "www.mycompany.com/cgi-bin/pssRecruit.cgi".
• Step 8. Optionally, customize the pssRecruit interface.

Based on your webserver configuration you may need to specify the full path to the GIF files. If you do not specify a path to the GIF files, the default location to place your GIF file in IIS and PWS is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot. The default location on Apache v1.3.9 is /home/httpd/html or /usr/local/www/data.

Be sure to delete the administrator account that came set up in the download package.

See our pssRecruit support pages for additional examples and tips to customize your copy of pssRecruit.

If you desire to rename pssRecruit you may do so. You must also rename pssRecruit.ini, pssRecruit.adm and pssRecruit.tpl to correspond to the new name. For example, if you rename it MyRecruiter.exe or MyRecruiter.cgi you must rename the .ini file MyRecruiter.ini. If you do this and it it still looks for pssRecruit.ini then your OS is using a different source executable environment variable other than "SOURCEEXE" or "sourceExe." If this is the case simply continue to use pssRecruit.ini, run "printenv" (most systems have this program) and email us the output along with the type of OS you are running. From this we can add the new source executable variable and get a new executable to you that will allow you to rename pssRecruit to whatever you desire. If your system does not have a "printenv" email us and we will send you one.

Administering pssRecruit

Every effort has been made to make the pssRecruit interface as intuitive as possible for recruiters and clients. Most routine administrative functions are accomplished by using the application's administrative interface. The administrative interface is accessed by pointing your browser to the pssRecruit application with ?-admin appended onto the end of the URL. On a Windows system this can be done by setting up a desktop shortcut by entering http://YourDomainName/cgi-bin/pssRecruit/pssRecruit.exe?-admin in the Command Line box of the Create Shortcut Wizard.

Upon accessing the administrative interface the initial display in your web browser is the login screen. Continue access by entering your login name and password and click on the 'Login' button. Passwords and user names are case sensitive (i.e. Password is different than password and recruiter1 is not the same user as Recruiter1). After gaining access to the system, the Choose an Action screen will appear. On this screen you can choose to perform any of the following actions.

• Create a posting. Select this option and click on the 'Go' button to add a job description to the system. The Add a Job description screen presents a group of entry boxes. Most of these are self explanatory. There are a few things to keep in mind when creating job postings.
  • Job ID. This field is the job reference number that will be seen by the client when listing positions for a discipline. The job reference number will be displayed to the client the same way it is entered here. The Job ID must be a unique name and may NOT contain any of these special characters
    ~`!@#$%^&*()+=}{]{\|/
    If the Job ID already exists in the system the save function will fail.
  • Date posted. Today's date will appear here. You can change it if necessary.
  • Discipline is the Position category. Select from the drop-down list the appropriate discipline for the position being posted.
  • Job Title. self-explanatory
  • Location. self-explanatory
  • Job Description. Enter the description of the job being posted. User Tip: You can paste text into this field from other applications. For example, if you have the job description available in an MS Word document, you can highlight it in MSWord - copy - and paste it into this form field.
  • Expertise. self-explanatory
  • Salary range. self-explanatory
  • Years of Experience. self-explanatory
  • Degree. self-explanatory
  • Contact will already be filled in with your email address. This is the email address to which clients will submit questions or requests concerning the job posting.
  
  When all the fields are filled in click on the Save This Posting button to complete the process. You will receive a message that the job posting has been saved. You can continue with a new action by selecting from the drop down list again.
• Delete a posting. Select this option and click on the 'Go' button to delete a job description from the system. On the subsequent screen select the job posting you want to delete and click on the DeletePost button. You will receive a confirmation message that the job posting has been deleted. Note that normal recruiter can only delete postingsthat they have posted. You cannot delete postings added by other recruiters unless you have admin privileges.
• Modify a posting. Select this option and click on the 'Go' button to modify a job description on the system. The subsequent screen allows you to select the job posting to modify from a drop down list. Select the desired job posting and click on the ModifyJob button. The appropriate modify job description screen will appear with the editable entry boxes.

  NOTE:If an admin user modifies another's posting, the admin user becomes the 'owner' of the posting. The original poster will not be able to change it. This is a security feature of pssRecruit that provides a clean audit trail. This behavior makes it so that one cannot surreptitiously change another's postings.

  • Job ID. Not editable
  • Date posted. self-explanatory
  • Discipline is the Position category. Select from the drop-down list the appropriate discipline for the position being posted.
  • Job Title. self explanatory
  • Location. self-explanatory
  • Job Description. Enter or edit the existing description of the job posted. User Tip: You can paste text into this field from other applications. For example, if you have the job description available in an MS Word document you can highlight it in MSWord - copy - and paste it into this form field.
  • Expertise. self-explanatory
  • Salary range. self-explanatory
  • Years of Experience. self-explanatory
  • Degree. self-explanatory
  • Contact will be already filled in with your email address. This is the email address to which clients will submit questions or requests concerning the job posting.
  When all the fields are filled in click on the Save This Posting button to complete the process. You will receive a message that the job posting has been saved.
• There are two types of recruiter accounts; The normal recruiter can add job postings and modify or delete only job postings that she has posted. The recruiter with 'Admin' access has privileges to perform these tasks:
  • can add or delete users
  • can add, modify or delete any job posting
• Add a new user. Select this option and click on the 'Go' button to add a new user to the system. On the subsequent screen enter the new user name, the password, and the email address of the new user. Select the Yes button beside the Admin Access option if you want the new recruiter to have privileged administrative access. See more on passwords, below. Then click on the AddUser button; you will receive a confirmation message that the new user has been added, along with a list of the current user accounts.
• Delete a user. Select this option and click on the 'Go' button to delete a user from the system. On the subsequent screen select the user you want to delete from the drop down list, and click the DeleteUser button. You will receive a confirmation message that the selected user name has been deleted along with a list of the current users. Only admin users can delete users from the system.
• Logout. The logout function will close the current browser window. It is a good practice to logout with this function to cancel the logon permissions that were established with your current browser session. Feasibly, an unauthorized user could access the system if you leave your workstation unattended with the same browser session open.
• More on passwords... Passwords are irretrievable. Users must remember their passwords because no administrator can reconstruct it or look it up once it is entered in the system. If someone does loose the password, an admin user can delete the user, then re-establish the user with the same name and a new password to restore access to the associated job postings.

Administrator adjustments to certain application files.

Generally, no adjustments will be required after initial setup of the pssRecruit application. In a few situations, however, you may need to change some entries in the pssRecruit.ini file or in the AreaDefinitions.tpl file. These two files are covered here in detail.

The pssRecruit.ini file is the application's configuration initialization file. Using this file you can customize many of the features of pssRecruit. Within the ini file, any line beginning with a pound sign "#" is treated as a comment line and will be ignored. The parameter key names (words to the left of the equal sign) must be specified exactly as they appear and must not be changed. The application reads these parameters and sets them equal to what follows the equal sign.

• Company = Progressive Software Solutions This parameter is the name of your company. Your registration key is dependent on the company name. This will ensure that only you can use the software, and that none of your competitors can. Your company name as entered here will be displayed in the Browser's title bar. Once the registration key is set you cannot change your company name without contacting Progressive Software Solutions for a new registration key.
  
• URL = http://YourDomainName/cgi-bin/pssRecruit/pssRecruit.exe This parameter represents the URL of the pssRecruit application.
• RegistrationURL = NULL This parameter is used to direct the client user to an online registration page. If you do not have an online registration page set this parameter to NULL.
• AdminPath = NULL This parameter specifies the full local path to the auxiliary files required by pssRecruit. Also the directory "Postings" must be a subdirectory of this location. If this parameter is missing or set to NULL the files and the 'Postings' subdirectory must be in the same directory as the pssRecruit.exe. This parameter must precede the definitions of all the auxiliary files.
• UseAsFileName = Job ID This parameter will be used as the file name for the postings. It should be unique and it MUST match an input parameter name specified in pssRecruit.tpl.
• MaxFilenameLength = 14 This parameter is used to limit the maximum number of characters used in the filename. This is not a pssRecruit limitation but some Operating Systems may limit the filename length. If the user tries to use a filename which exceeds this value an alert will occur. The default value for this parameter is 14.
• UseAsDatePosted = Date Posted This parameter will be used as the date of the postings. It should be unique and it MUST match an input parameter name specified in pssRecruit.tpl. It will be automatically filled in but can be changed on-line.
• UseAsArea = Discipline This parameter will be used as the list of job areas. It is the field-name of a catagory in each posting record. It should be unique and it MUST also appear in the pssRecruit.tpl file.
• AllowSearch = Yes This parameter will place a search box and button on the Welcome Page to allow direct search of the postings for keywords. Set this value to NULL if you do not want your postings to be searchable. If it is anything except "Yes" the search will not appear.
• AreaDefinitions = DisciplineDefinitions.tpl This parameter is the file containing definitions of the job areas. For example, one discipline area might be Marketing and the definition might include Brand Marketing, Professional Services Marketing, and Market Research. These sub-area definitions help guide the user to the right discipline. These labels will appear on the default Welcome Page when a user holds the mouse over the name of the Discipline area. If you do not have sub-areas set this parameter to NULL.
• PopupHTML = NULL This parameter is the HTML code to use in a "popup" window which will be displayed when your client moves the mouse over a discipline. We have included an example PopupHTML.tpl file. You may want to experiment with this file. In general, any valid HTML tag may be used in this file including fonts, etc. Do not include the standard opening and closing HTML tags (<HTML>, <BODY>, </BODY>, </HTML>, etc) in the .tpl file. The default value is NULL, which means that the "popup" window will not be displayed.
• SummarySortBy = NULL This parameter can be used to specify the sort criteria for the Summary page. You can specify any number of parameters from the pssRecruit.tpl Separate parameters with a comma. The sort will be done in the order presented. For example "SummarySortBy = Disciplines, Job Title" would sort the postings first by Disciplines then by Job Title.
• TitleFont = NULL This parameter is included to allow you to specify a font "face" for the titles displayed on the "welcome" screen, the titles in the "summary" screen and the lefthand side of the "detail" screen. The browser's default font is used if this parameter is set to "NULL". Note that the font you set here may not be available to your client's browser, in which case the client's browser will substitute a default font.
• Background = NULL This parameter allows you to specify an URL pointing to a picture file (*.gif, or *.jpg) to display as a background. The background will be used on all pages. If you do not have a background set this parameter to NULL.
• AdminHeader = header.tpl This parameter specifies a file to use as a header on all admin pages.
• WelcomePageHeader = WelcomePageHeader.tpl This parameter specifies a file to use as a header on the welcome page (first page viewed by a client).
• SummaryPageHeader = header.tpl This parameter specifies a file to use as a header on area summary pages.
• DetailPageHeader = header.tpl This parameter specifies a file to use as a header on job detail pages.
• AdminFooter = footer.tpl This parameter specifies a file to use as a footer on all admin pages.
• WelcomePageFooter = WelcomePageFooter.tpl This parameter specifies a file to use as a footer on the welcome page (first page viewed by a client).
• SummaryPageFooter = footer.tpl This parameter specifies a file to use as a footer on area summary pages.
• DetailPageFooter = footer.tpl This parameter specifies a file to use as a footer on job detail pages.
• FurtherInformation = To receive further information on this job, please do the following: This parameter defines the statement that will appear above the Contact and/or Registration line on the Detail pages. The package comes with "To receive further information on this job, please do the following:" as the value for this parameter.
• ContactInstruction = If you are already registered with us, send us an email to let us know you are interested and include the Job ID. This parameter is used to display instructions with the "Contact" parameter. These instructions will only appear if the entry "Contact|textfield|1|0|1" appears in our pssRecruit.tpl file. Do not include any "carriage return linefeeds". The text must all be on one line when viewed in a text editor with word wrapping off.
• RegisterInstruction = If you are not registered with us, click On-Line Registration to register and submit your resume. This parameter is used to display instructions with the "Registration" parameter. This parameter is only used if there is a RegistrationURL entered in the ini file. Do not include any "carriage return linefeeds" The text must all be on one line when viewed in a text editor with word wrapping off.
• Key = AloNg5eRIEs0Flett3rsandNum8ers This parameter is your registration key. It is based on your company name. It ensures that only your company will be able to use this software.

The DisciplineDefinitions.tpl file sets the job categories and sub-categories that will be used to organize job postings. This enables the client to more easily find positions listed by pssRecruit. Each category (Discipline Area) starts with a line with only the category name. The next line(s) contain the sub-categories (specialty areas) within this category followed by <br>(the HTML Line Break tag). Each category ends with <EOD> (End of Definition).

The pssRecruit.tpl file establishes certain parameters for the input and selection boxes on the client and admin interfaces. Generally, changes are not required in this file. The only line that may need adjustment is the Discipline line. You may add job area names at the end separated by commas. An associated entry must be made in the AreaDefinitions.tpl file. The first line should not be changed at all.

Customizing pssRecruit web pages

The appearance of pssRecruit web pages can be customized by changing the HTML in various *.tpl files. These *.tpl files can have any valid name as configured in the pssRecruit.ini file. For purposes of explanation the file names from the sample configuration above will be used here.

There are eight *.tpl file settings that help create the web page content viewed by the client or administrator in the web browser. Generally these files contain HTML that will appear above or below the page content generated by the pssRecruit application.

• Header Templates These files (ending with the .tpl file extension) contain the HTML that will appear above the dynamic data generated by pssRecruit. The HTML appearing in the header templates will appear immediately following the <BODY> tag generated by pssRecruit. The file should NOT contain the typical page opening tags (<HTML>, <HEAD>, <BODY>, ...) - these tags are automatically generated by the application. Header templates can be different for each interface; Welcome, Summary, Detail, and Admin. Or, you could use the same header template for all. These are the available footer templates as set in the pssRecruit.ini file.

• AdminHeader = header.tpl. This parameter specifies a file to use as a header on all admin pages.
• WelcomePageHeader = header.tpl. This parameter specifies a file to use as a header on the welcome page (first page viewed by a client).
• SummaryPageHeader = header.tpl. This parameter specifies a file to use as a header on area summary pages.
• DetailPageHeader = header.tpl This parameter specifies a file to use as a header on job detail pages.
• Footer Templates These files (ending with the .tpl file extension) contain the HTML that will appear below the dynamic data generated by pssRecruit. The HTML appearing in the footer templates will appear immediately before the </BODY> tag generated by pssRecruit. The file should NOT contain the typical page closing tags (</BODY>, </HTML>, ...) - these tags are automatically generated by the application. Footer templates can be different for each interface; Welcome, Summary, Detail, and Admin. Or, you could use the same footer template for all. These are the available footer templates as set in the pssRecruit.ini file.
