What it does
On a busy job board, people often lose track of listings they meant to come back to. Candidates end up repeating the same searches, and employers have to dig through resumes again to find the promising ones. This add-on gives logged-in users a simple way to save items as they browse, so a short list of interesting jobs or candidates is always a click away.
The plugin works alongside your existing WP Job Manager setup. Candidates bookmark job listings, employers bookmark resumes, and either side can add a note to record details or reminders about each saved item. A shortcode lets you place a table of a user's bookmarks on any page, giving them one spot to review and manage everything they have saved.
Best for
- Job boards built with WP Job Manager
- Recruitment sites where employers browse candidate resumes
- Niche career sites with returning job seekers
Features
Bookmark job listings
Logged-in candidates can save job listings they find interesting and come back to them later without searching for the same posts again.

Notes on each bookmark
Users can add personal notes to any bookmarked item, recording reminders, thoughts or details that help them compare options later.
Shortcode bookmark table
A shortcode displays a user's bookmarks on any page in a clean, customizable table, so saved items are easy to find and manage.
Works for both sides
The bookmarking system serves job seekers and employers alike, giving each group a way to organize the listings or resumes that matter to them.

Who can use the bookmark feature?
Logged-in users can bookmark items. Candidates save job listings and employers save resumes, so both sides of your job board get a way to keep track of what interests them.
Can users write notes about the jobs or resumes they save?
Yes. Each bookmark can include a personal note, which is handy for recording reminders, questions to ask, or details that help a user decide between several saved jobs or candidates.
How do users see their saved bookmarks?
You add a shortcode to any page you choose, and it shows the current user's bookmarks in a customizable table. From there they can review and manage the items they have saved.
Does this plugin work on its own?
It is an add-on for WP Job Manager and is designed to work with that plugin's job listings and resumes, so your site should already be running WP Job Manager.
