Activity stream entries
You can let your community see job news in the BuddyPress activity stream. When a pending job is approved, an entry is posted. When a candidate is marked hired, another entry is posted.
This works when the BuddyPress Activity component is active. There is no setting to switch it off.
What gets posted
Section titled “What gets posted”| When | Entry type | Where it shows |
|---|---|---|
| A pending job is approved on the site-wide board | Job posted | The site-wide activity feed |
| A pending job is approved on a group’s board | Job posted | The group’s activity tab and the site-wide feed |
| An application is moved to Hired | Member hired | The site-wide activity feed |
Visitors can filter the activity directory by Job posted and Member hired.
The hired entry always goes to the site-wide feed. It is not posted into a group.
What the entries say
Section titled “What the entries say”- Job approval: “Acme Inc posted a new job: Senior Backend Engineer.” The name links to the poster’s profile and the title links to the job.
- Hire: “Sarah Chen was hired for Senior Backend Engineer.” The name links to the candidate’s profile and the title links to the job. The entry starts with a celebration emoji.
What is not posted
Section titled “What is not posted”- Jobs that publish straight away without going through approval. Only a job moving from pending to published posts an entry.
- Pending jobs, so your moderation queue stays private.
- Application submitted, under review, shortlisted or not selected. Only Hired is public. Other status changes reach the candidate privately through the notification bell.
Change the wording
Section titled “Change the wording”The entry text can be translated with any translation plugin, using the wp-career-board-pro text domain. There is no setting or filter for the wording.
