What JobBoardWP is
JobBoardWP is a free, open-source WordPress plugin for adding job listings and job management to a website. Its jobs page lets visitors search by keyword and location, then filter by remote work, job type, or category. Employers can submit listings, save drafts, preview them, and manage submissions from a dashboard. Administrators can review, edit, and approve jobs, or configure submissions to publish automatically. They can also enable or disable job emails and revise their text. JobBoardWP adds structured data to listings so they can appear in Google job search results. It includes integration hooks for Ultimate Member; its changelog also lists compatibility with WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress, and Weglot. The plugin is listed as compatible with WordPress Multisite and any theme, though some sites may need styling or custom templates. It requires WordPress 5.5 or later and PHP 5.6 or later.
