WP Job Manager Application Deadline

A job board fills up with stale posts when nobody removes listings after the hiring window closes. Candidates then waste time on roles that are no longer open. This add-on gives each listing a closing date, so the board can keep itself in order without someone checking every post by hand.

The plugin adds a closing date field to the job submission form, so job listers enter the deadline themselves. The date appears on the job post, and color and icon cues change as the deadline nears or passes. Once the date is reached, the listing can expire automatically. Administrators can also sort listings by deadline with a shortcode parameter.

Features

• Closing date field: A dedicated closing date field is added to the job submission form, so job listers can state exactly when applications stop.
• Deadline shown on listings: The application deadline appears on each job post, so candidates can see the timeframe before they decide to apply.
• Visual deadline indicators: Color and icons change when a deadline is approaching or has passed, giving visitors a quick signal of expiring or expired status.
• Automatic listing expiry: Job listings can expire on their own once the application deadline is reached, which keeps outdated posts off your board without manual work.
• Sort by deadline: Use the shortcode parameter orderby="deadline" to order listings by closing date, so urgent jobs are easy to find.
• Works with WP Job Manager: The add-on is built to work with WP Job Manager and its other core add-ons, so it fits into an existing job board setup.
• Job dashboard integration: The add-on connects with the job dashboard, so deadline handling is part of how listings are managed there.
