Homepage looks nearly cloned from Basecamp

API and Liquid templating for job pages
From 1 comment
We are using Jobvite for this which is way too expensive and a total pain in the ass. If you are a rails app please make it so that the job page can be edited with Liquid. Also…

Questions
Can subscriptions be paused?
From 1 comment
Is there an option to pause a subscription? Companies will eventually fill all their positions and won't always need to use the service.

Why prepaid balance billing instead of monthly charges?
