Job boards are definitely cool things. I once had a client call me looking for one and was willing to pay up to $10K for it. He was a pain in the ass so I never went through with it, but I did find some cool open source apps to get the job done.
JobberBase is the best server-side application I could find. It’s based on the ever popular jobber.ro and features a complete admin panel for the administrator to manage the site. (A lot of software I found was admin panel-less which is not cool in my book).
The install itself is relatively painless. Unzip, upload, establish a database, chmod some files, edit the config file… If you want to edit the look and feel of the site though, you have to be a pretty proficient coder. The programming in it is top notch but is largely uncommented.
Just for testing purposes, and to build a little site, I put up FindingGuests.com. My thought was it might be a cool place for podcasters who were looking for guests for their show. All the current website offerings in that space suck, so I tried to build one that didn’t :0)
Have a look at Jobberbase and let me know what you think!

I agree with you. This is the best free open source. But if you're planning to buy an open source job boards (or jobsite php script, as others may refer to) software that is affordable, I recommend Jammit.
There are a lot of Job Boards out there but Jammit is far more superior from the rest. The other one is webJobs, it's good. But it's zend optimized. So you are not free to customized the script in the way you want. Another awesome script is Job2C, but it's a bit outdated. It has a lot of features but it's too expensive and the other seems not to be updating it anymore.
Great thing there's Jobberbase to provides us an easy to use, easy to customize job board script.
