What it does
Long application forms slow candidates down, and typed-in details can be incomplete or out of date. This add-on lets job seekers sign in with Facebook and apply using information already on their profile. The plugin imports that profile data into the application, so candidates spend less time typing and employers receive details drawn straight from the source. Authentication runs through Facebook's own login protocols, giving applicants a familiar sign-in method.
The add-on works inside WP Job Manager, so it fits into the job listings you already run. Employers can see applicant profile details such as work history and education when that information is visible on Facebook, which helps with early screening. Application settings can be configured to match your recruitment process, and the apply flow is responsive, so candidates can use it on phones, tablets or desktops. It suits any WP Job Manager site that wants a quicker, social option for applications.
