What it does
Categories alone often leave job boards hard to search. A listing filed under a broad heading like development can hide the specific skills a candidate cares about. This add-on adds a tagging layer on top of WP Job Manager, so employers can label each post with the details that matter, such as the languages, tools or interests involved. Those tags then appear on the listing itself, giving candidates a clear summary of the role at a glance.
Tags are built on native WordPress taxonomies, so you manage them the same way you manage other terms in WordPress. On the front end, job seekers can select one or more tags to narrow the job list, and a toggle lets them turn multiple tag selection on or off. A tag cloud shortcode, [job_tag_cloud], displays popular tags anywhere you place it. The add-on suits niche job boards and larger employment sites running WP Job Manager alike.
Best for
- Job boards running on WP Job Manager
- Niche tech or skills-focused job sites
- Employment platforms with many listings to sort
