Overview
Job seekers rarely want to check a job board every day. This plugin gives them a way to save a search and let the site do the watching. Users choose their keywords and job types, pick how often they want to hear from you, and receive an email whenever matching listings appear. If your board uses the Job Tags plugin, alerts can also be filtered by tags.
For site owners, the plugin adds control over how alerts look and behave. You can adjust email templates and alert settings from the WP Job Manager settings screen, and a shortcode places an alerts management page on your site. Consent checkboxes and unsubscribe links are included, which helps with privacy requirements. It fits any job board that already runs on WP Job Manager.
Features
- Saved search alerts: Registered users can turn a job search into an alert based on criteria such as keywords and job types, so the emails they receive match what they are looking for.
- Flexible alert frequency: Alerts can be sent daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Users decide how often they want to be notified about new listings that match their saved search.
- Job Tags filtering: When the Job Tags plugin is in use, users can narrow their alerts by tag. This lets them refine notifications further than keywords and job types alone.
- Alerts management page: A shortcode adds a page where logged-in users can preview, enable, disable, edit or delete their alerts whenever they like.
- Add Alert button: A simple Add Alert button lets users save their current search as an alert in one step, right from the page where they searched.
- Customizable email templates: Administrators can tailor the messaging and branding of alert emails and adjust alert settings directly from the WP Job Manager settings area.
- Consent and unsubscribe tools: Consent checkboxes and unsubscribe links are built in, which helps site owners meet data privacy requirements and keeps users in control of their emails.
- Alert send statistics: The plugin tracks how many times each job was sent out in alert emails, giving you a view of how listings are being distributed.
