Introduction to WP Career Board

WP Career Board overviewFree + ProGet WP Career Board →

WP Career Board turns a WordPress site into a job board. Employers post jobs, candidates search and apply, and you review and manage everything from wp-admin. Search, filters and applying update in place without a page reload.

As a site owner:

  • Control jobs, applications, employers and candidates from wp-admin.
  • Hold new jobs in a moderation queue until you approve them.
  • Set the emails sent for key events.
  • Export or erase a person’s data with the GDPR tools.

As an employer:

  • Post jobs with a guided multi-step form.
  • Manage your jobs and applications from the employer dashboard.
  • Publish a company profile that candidates can see.

As a candidate:

  • Search and filter jobs by keyword, category, job type, location and experience level.
  • Save jobs to apply later.
  • Track your applications in the candidate dashboard.
  • Apply as any logged-in member. No Candidate role is needed unless you turn on Require Candidate Role in Career Board > Settings > Sign-ups.
  • Every page is a block, and every block also works as a shortcode for page builders and the classic editor. See Adding blocks.
  • Search, filters and dashboards update without reloading the page.
  • WordPress 6.9 or higher
  • PHP 8.1 or higher
