What it does
Running a job board on WordPress usually means piecing together custom post types, forms and listing pages by hand. This plugin handles that work for you. Job listings get their own post type, each job has a shareable page with its description, location, categories and custom taxonomies, and you place searchable, filterable job lists on any page with shortcodes. No coding is needed to add, edit or manage listings from the admin area.
It also covers the employer side. Employers can submit jobs through frontend forms and manage them from a dedicated dashboard page, so they never need access to the WordPress backend. Candidates can apply by email or an external URL, listings include Google job schema markup, and RSS feeds let people subscribe to new jobs. Page views and unique visits per listing show how your board is being used. Developers get extendable templates and endpoints, and paid add-ons can add things like resume management, job alerts and paid listings.
Best for
- Businesses posting their own open positions
- Recruitment agencies listing jobs for several employers
- Community and niche sites running a job board
Features
Searchable job listings

Frontend job submission
Employers can submit and update their job listings directly from forms on your site, without needing an account in the WordPress admin area.

Questions about WP Job Manager
Can employers post jobs without logging into the WordPress admin?
Yes. Employers use frontend submission forms to post jobs and a separate jobs dashboard page to manage them. Both sit on the public side of your site, so employers never need access to the WordPress backend.
How do candidates apply for a job?
Each listing can have an email address or an external URL as its apply method. Candidates use whichever one the listing provides, which lets employers keep their existing application process, such as an inbox or an outside applicant tracking page.
Can I add features like resumes or job alerts?
The core plugin focuses on job listings, submission and management. Paid add-ons are available for extra functions, including resume management, job alerts and paid listings, so you can extend the board as your needs grow.
Can a developer customize how listings look and work?
Yes. Jobs are stored as a post type, and the plugin provides endpoints and extendable templates. A developer can override templates to change the layout or build on the existing structure to add custom behavior.
