What it does
Location fields on a job board are easy to get wrong. Employers type addresses in different formats, misspell city names or leave the field vague, and job seekers end up with listings that are hard to search by place. This add-on for WP Job Manager replaces plain text entry with a map-based approach, giving people a clearer way to say exactly where a job is located.
When someone adds a listing, a search box suggests locations as they type, and they can drag and drop a pin on a Google Map to mark the precise spot. Site admins can set a default location on both the frontend and backend, which helps when most jobs sit in one area. The plugin also works with the Jobify theme without any coding, so it fits job boards already built on that setup.
