Quick job form (single-page)
You can let employers post a job from one screen, with no wizard steps. Place the form on any page, in a sidebar or modal, or in a page builder.
It is a one-screen alternative to the 4-step form in Post a Job. Both forms use the same wcb_job_form_fields filter, so custom fields you add appear on both.
The person posting must be logged in as a user with the Employer role. Anyone else sees a sign-in or registration message in place of the form.
Add the form
Section titled “Add the form”With the block
Section titled “With the block”In the WordPress editor, add the Job Form (Single-Page) block. It has these settings:
| Setting | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
boardId |
integer | 0 |
Uses a specific board. 0 uses the default board |
compact |
boolean | false |
Narrows the form for sidebars and modals |
With a shortcode
Section titled “With a shortcode”In a page builder or the classic editor, use the shortcode. The attribute names match the block settings.
[wcb_job_form_simple][wcb_job_form_simple boardId="42"][wcb_job_form_simple compact="true"]For Elementor, Divi, Bricks and Beaver Builder, see Page-builder embeds.

What happens on submit
Section titled “What happens on submit”The form posts to POST /wcb/v1/jobs, the same route as the multi-step form.
- When the site moderates jobs, the job goes to Pending. Otherwise it is published.
- The form has no preview step. The employer can edit the job afterwards from My Jobs.
- Editing always uses the 4-step form in the Employer Dashboard.
- Company logos and banners are not part of this form. Employers set them in the company profile.
