What it does
Running a job board means handling a steady flow of postings, keeping them current and helping visitors find the right ones. This plugin works alongside Directorist, so you will need that plugin on your site. Once it is in place, you can add, edit and organize job postings from the WordPress dashboard, while employers and other users can submit their own listings through a front-end form without needing access to the admin area.
It suits niche job boards, corporate career pages and community employment portals. Job seekers can filter by job type, location, salary range and category. You can adjust the layout of listing and detail pages to match your branding without writing code, and the layouts are responsive on mobile devices. Featured and sponsored listings let you give selected postings more visibility, and reporting tools track listing performance and user engagement.
Best for
- Niche job boards serving a specific industry or region
- Companies running a career page on WordPress
- Community sites hosting a local employment portal
