WP Job Manager Applications

Many job boards send applicants to an email address or an outside link, which scatters résumés and cover letters across inboxes. WP Job Manager Applications replaces that with an application form on your own site. It collects details such as name, email, cover letter and resume upload, and stores each submission in your website's database so employers and administrators can find it later.

Employers work from their job dashboard, where listings and applications sit together. They can sort applications by status, add private comments and give each candidate a rating. Notification emails go out when an application arrives, and the form fields can be edited from the backend. It works with both frontend job dashboards and backend admin dashboards, so it fits boards that run in different ways.

Features

• Customizable application forms: Replace plain email links with a form on your site that captures candidate details and resume uploads. Fields can be added, edited or removed from the backend without coding.
• Central application storage: Every submission is saved in your website's database, so employers and administrators can reach all applications from one place instead of searching through separate inboxes.
• Employer dashboard access: Employers view and manage applications inside their job dashboard, next to the listings they belong to, which keeps candidate review in one spot.
• Private notes and ratings: Hiring teams can add private comments and rate candidates. Feedback stays organized and is not visible to applicants.
• Application status sorting: Applications can be organized by status, such as new, interviewed or archived, so employers can see where each candidate stands in the hiring process.
• Email notifications: Employers and candidates are notified when an application is submitted. The notification emails can be customized from the backend.
• Resume Manager integration: Logged-in users can pick a saved resume on the application form and link to their online resume, which adds detail to each application.
• Developer-friendly code: The add-on is built with clean, extensible code, so developers can adapt it to the needs of a specific project.
