What it does
Job boards often depend on partners, blogs and affiliates to spread the word about open positions, but copying listings by hand gets out of date quickly. This add-on solves that by letting people place a widget on their own pages that pulls current job posts straight from your WP Job Manager site. When a listing changes or a new one is posted, the embedded widget reflects it, so the outside page always shows what is actually open on your board.
The process runs through a form on your site. A visitor picks the job categories and display options they want, previews how the listings will look, and then copies the generated embed code to paste wherever they like. No coding knowledge is needed, and the destination site does not need WordPress. It fits recruiters, niche job boards and staffing sites that want clients or partner sites to display their openings with little effort.
Best for
- Job boards built with WP Job Manager
- Recruiters sharing openings with partner or client websites
- Niche career sites working with blogs and affiliates
Features
Embed code generator
Visitors create their own job widget by choosing the categories and display options they want, and the plugin produces embed code to match those choices.
Live job listings
Embedded widgets pull postings directly from your site, so the listings shown on other pages stay current with what is published on your job board.
Preview before copying
Users can see how their embedded job listings will appear before they grab the code, which helps them get the layout right the first time.
Works beyond WordPress
The generated code can be placed on any website regardless of platform, so partners on other systems can still display your job posts.
Simple form interface
A plain form walks users through the options for building a widget, with no coding knowledge or technical setup required on their end.
Category filtering
Widgets can be limited to selected job categories, letting a partner site show only the openings that matter to its own audience.

Questions about Embeddable Job Widget
Does the site showing the widget need to run WordPress?

Will embedded listings stay up to date?
Yes. The widget displays live job listings pulled directly from your site, so new postings and changes on your board show up in the embedded widget without anyone needing to update the code.
Can a partner show only certain types of jobs?
Yes. When building a widget through the form, users can choose the job categories they want along with display options, so the embedded listings can focus on the roles relevant to their site.

Yes. Embeddable Job Widget is an add-on for WP Job Manager and works with the job listings that plugin manages on your site.
