WP Job Manager Private Messages

A job board works best when candidates and employers can reach each other quickly. Without built-in messaging, people fall back on outside channels or long email threads, and conversations get scattered. WP Job Manager Private Messages addresses this by putting a dedicated chatbox on your site, so visitors can contact listing owners privately without leaving the page.

The plugin is an add-on made for WP Job Manager. It supports real-time messaging without page refreshes, lets users send images, videos, documents and PDFs, and gives administrators custom message dashboards to keep conversations together. The interface is responsive, so chats work on phones and tablets, and the chatbox appearance can be styled to match your branding.

Features

• Private chatbox: Visitors and listing owners can message each other directly and privately on your job board, so conversations stay on your site instead of moving to outside channels.
• Custom message dashboards: Administrators can create dedicated message centers where users manage their conversations, keeping all communication gathered in one place.
• Real-time messaging: Conversations update live without page refreshes, so exchanges between candidates and employers stay continuous and feel natural.
• Unlimited file attachments: Users can send and receive attachments without a stated limit, including images, videos, documents and PDFs, which suits sharing resumes and job details.
• Mobile-optimized interface: The responsive design lets users chat from smartphones and tablets as well as desktop screens, so conversations are not tied to one device.
• Dedicated messenger widget: Display a chat icon anywhere on your site so users can start a conversation straight away from the page they are viewing.
• Shortcodes for message links: Use shortcodes to place New Private Message links anywhere on your website, making it simple to point users to a conversation.
• Chatbox styling options: Customize how the chatbox looks so it fits your site's branding and sits comfortably within your existing design.
