Description

WP Job Manager Applications Addon GPL Overview:

Allow candidates to apply to jobs using a form & employers to view and manage the applications from their job dashboard.
The Applications add-on lets you show an application form on your job listings instead of the standard mail/website links.

An Application Form

The application form replaces the usual links and shows form fields for candidate name, candidate email, cover letter/message, and an upload field for the candidate to attach their resume file.

Submitted applications get stored in the database and the employer also gets an email notification. Application Form Editor
The application form can be edited from the backend using our editor. Add, edit, and remove fields.

The editor also allows you to customize the email notifications sent to the employer and the candidate.

Application Management

Submitted applications can be managed in 2 ways:

If you offer job listing submissions on the front end, you can use this plugin to have applications be visible on the employer job dashboard.

If you list your own jobs, you can have applications come in and be visible in the admin dashboard.
With either method, job applications can be given private notes, ratings, and organized by status (e.g. interviewed, new, archived).

The Job Application Form

If enabled, the job application form will be displayed instead of the usual email/website links. The default form looks like this:

When the application form is submitted, an application will be saved to your database. If the job application method is ’email’, the employer will also receive an email notification.

Once an Application’s status has been set to “Hired”, the message “This position has been filled” will appear on the job listing.

Note: You can also add the shortcode [job_apply id=”X”] to a page to display only the application form for a particular job listing. Substitute the X with the ID of the job for which you wish to have the application form.
