Overview
A job board needs more than a page of openings. WP Job Manager – Activated lets you add, edit, and manage job listings in WordPress, with a separate page for each job. Listings can include descriptions, locations, categories, and custom taxonomies, giving candidates details to review before they apply.
Visitors can search and filter listings, while employers can submit and manage openings through frontend forms and a dedicated dashboard. This suits business, recruitment, and community sites that want employers to handle their listings without access to the WordPress admin area. Application options include an email address or an external URL.
Features
- Manage job listings: Add, edit, and manage job listings through the plugin, with details such as descriptions, locations, categories, and custom taxonomies.
- Search and filter jobs: Give visitors ways to find relevant openings with searchable and filterable job listings displayed using shortcodes.
- Employer submission forms: Employers can submit job openings from the site frontend, without needing access to the WordPress admin area.
- Employer job dashboard: Provide a dedicated dashboard where employers can manage their job listings on the site.
- Flexible application options: Set an email address or external URL as the application method for a job listing.
- Individual job pages: Give each listing its own shareable page, with room for job descriptions, locations, categories, and custom taxonomies.
Best for
- Businesses publishing job openings
