WP Job Manager is a free career-listing plugin like WPJobBoard, Job Board Manager, and Simple Job Board, letting you create forums and placements for job opportunities on WordPress. Registered members can use it to quickly advise visitors about any new careers available. While you may need to have some CSS knowledge, it’s easy to establish on your site.

The free version has several tools you can use without upgrading to add-ons. Members can categorize, arrange, and manage job boards in a central interface. You’ll also give them the freedom to preview how the listing will look on the site before it goes live.

Create job boards

The primary function of WP Job Manager is to provide registered users on your site the ability to create job listings that viewers can apply for online. It also enables RSS feeds so that readers can receive email alerts for when new career opportunities appear. There’s also an editing facility to the plugin, where members can delete, alter, or mark the position as filled on the board.

Connected to accounts

It would be a hassle if every submission went to the webmaster or site owner, especially if you need to send each application to them. WP Job Manager provides the solution by linking each one to a site address or email address, letting the listing owner receive them directly. The member can then view and accept each applicant’s form without your intervention. This feature is incredibly useful if you manage a site for a massive corporation with several job boards.

Extra paid features

If you’re not worried about parting with some funds, you can support further development on WP Job Manager by upgrading with add-ons. The extra features include:

• Application Manager: view and manage forms on the WordPress dashboard
• WooCommerce Listing: lets others purchase job packages
• Resume Manager: adds resume builder for applicants
• Job Alerts: sends notifications of opportunities to registered members
• Core Bundle: All of the above at a discounted rate

Online job boards for your site

WP Job Manager takes away all the heavy coding for crafting online job boards, making the process more straightforward. What’s more, you place the power of adding listings in the hands of the registered members. There’s minimal intervention on your part once you have the plugin installed.
