You can post jobs, review applicants and run your public company page from one place, the Employer Dashboard.

What you can do

Section titled “What you can do”
  • Post a job with a guided multi-step form or a single-page form.
  • Edit, close, reopen, resubmit and feature your jobs.
  • Review applications in a List or a Board (Kanban) view, rate applicants and keep private team notes.
  • Export a job’s applicants to CSV.
  • Set up a public company profile with a live preview.
  • Bookmark jobs, companies and candidate resumes.
  • Change your display name, email and password, and turn off the optional emails you do not want.
  • Get emails for new applications, withdrawn applications and jobs that are about to end.

Get access

Section titled “Get access”

Register as an employer to get the Employer role. The role opens the Employer Dashboard, a single-page app with a left sidebar. Admins can also give the Employer role to any user from Users > Edit User in wp-admin.

Find your way around

Section titled “Find your way around”

At the top of the sidebar is your identity: your avatar (or company logo), your name, and “Employer · Company name”. Click it to open your company profile. Below it:

  • Overview - figures for Total Jobs, Live, Applications and New This Week (click one to open that list), a Needs attention list with applications waiting for review and jobs closing within 7 days, then your recent applications and active jobs.
  • Jobs
    • My Jobs - manage your job listings. The badge shows your total.
    • Post a Job - submit a new job.
  • Hiring
    • Applications - review applicants in List or Board view. The badge shows your total.
  • Company
    • Companies - every company you run, if you run more than one. Your jobs and applications cover all of them, with a company filter.
    • Profile - set up your public employer page.
    • Public Page - opens your live company page in a new tab.
  • Credits - shown when a board would charge you or you hold credits. With WP Career Board Pro it is a tab for your balance, buying credits, receipts and history. Without Pro the sidebar shows only your balance.
  • Saved resumes - candidates you saved, when the site has resumes (Pro). Saved Jobs and Saved Companies appear too if the site lets employers save jobs.
  • Account
    • Settings - display name, email, password and optional email preferences.
    • Notifications - shown when the site has the notification bell (Pro).

A + Post a Job button stays pinned at the bottom of the sidebar. On tablets and phones the sidebar collapses behind a menu button that shows the current section.

How applications reach you

Section titled “How applications reach you”

When a candidate applies to one of your jobs, you see the application in the dashboard and get an email. Each application shows:

  • The applicant’s name and email
  • The application status (Submitted, Reviewing, Shortlisted, Rejected, Hired, Withdrawn or Closed)
  • The date it was submitted
  • The job it belongs to
