Skillhunt is a job board website template for job portals, recruitment agencies and company career sites, built on Bootstrap 5. There are nine pages: home, browse jobs, find a job, job details, candidates, post a job, blog, blog post and contact.

The home page opens with a full-screen hero with job and candidate search tabs and live counters, followed by category tiles, a list of popular categories, featured job posts next to top recruiters, a testimonials slider, a latest candidates slider and recent articles. The job and candidate lists have sidebar filters by keyword, category, city and job type, and every job opens a details page with the salary range, responsibilities and an application form. You will also find a post a job form with listing packages, a blog with comments and a contact page with a working form and a map that loads on click.

What’s new in 3.0

• Bootstrap 5.3.8 (the earlier release used Bootstrap 4.3.1 and jQuery), compiled from Sass with the proportions the design was drawn with, and plain JavaScript with no jQuery. Swiper 14 replaces Owl Carousel on the testimonial and candidate sliders, small built-in modules replace Waypoints, AOS and the counter plugin, and unused plugins such as Magnific Popup, Scrollax and the date and time pickers are gone.
• Lighter pages: all nine pages together went from 16.4 MB and 328 requests to 5.8 MB and 143 requests, and the home page from 2.7 MB and 51 requests to 1.1 MB and 26 requests. Every photo has an AVIF version with the JPEG as the fallback, and the full-page preloader is gone.
• No third-party requests: Source Sans Pro is self-hosted, Lucide SVG icons and a 1 KB social-logo subset replace four icon fonts, and the contact map loads only when a visitor asks for it.
• Working job board features: the sidebar filters and the hero search narrow the job and candidate lists, jobs can be saved, and a new job details page opens from every Apply Job button.
• Working forms for contact, applications, posting a job, comments and the newsletter, with labels, validation, status messages and a spam trap.
• Accessibility and contrast: a skip link, keyboard focus, one heading outline per page and text that meets WCAG AA, with deeper orange and blue tones and a darker hero gradient.
• New fictional employers, jobs, candidates and career articles, sharper photos, company logos and page titles, descriptions and structured data for search engines.
