Job Connect

Описание

Job Connect turns any WordPress site into a full-featured job board in minutes — not hours.

Job Connect gives you everything you need to run a job board out of the box: frontend job submission, an employer dashboard, email notifications, search and filtering, Google Maps integration, spam protection, and a modern React-based admin panel.

No page builders. No shortcode soup. Run the one-click setup wizard, and you’re live.

Why Job Connect?

• Feature-rich out of the box — Frontend submission, employer dashboard, email alerts, search filters, and more — all included.
• Modern admin experience — A React-powered settings panel that feels like a modern web app, not a 2010 options page.
• Works with any theme — Classic themes, block themes, Full Site Editing — Job Connect adapts automatically.
• Lightweight and fast — No bloated frameworks. Clean code, minimal queries, zero front-end library dependencies.
• Developer-friendly — 70+ hooks, a full template override system, and REST API endpoints.

For Site Owners

• One-click setup wizard — Creates all required pages and assigns the right shortcodes automatically.
• Approval workflow — Review every listing before it goes live, or let trusted employers publish instantly.
• Automatic expiration — Set a global listing duration (e.g. 30 days) and let the plugin handle the rest. Both admins and employers receive email warnings before a listing expires.
• Spam protection — Google reCAPTCHA v2 on job submission, login, and registration forms.
• Access control — Restrict who can browse or view job listings by WordPress role or capability.
• RSS job feed — Automatically generated feed at /feed/job_feed/ for job aggregators and subscribers.

For Employers

• Frontend dashboard — Edit, duplicate, mark as filled, or delete listings without ever touching wp-admin.
• Rich job submission form — Job title, rich-text description, company details, logo upload, location, salary, remote toggle, application method (email or URL), and more.
• Inline account creation — Employers can create an account right on the submission form — no separate registration step required.
• Custom login & registration — Branded forms that keep employers on your site. No wp-login.php redirects.

For Job Seekers

• Keyword and location search — Find jobs by title, company name, or location with instant filtering.
• Filter by type and category — Narrow results by job type (Full-time, Part-time, Contract) and category.
• AJAX-powered browsing — «Load more» pagination for a smooth, modern browsing experience.
• Detailed job listings — Company logo, salary range, remote indicator, location, and full job description on every listing.

For Developers

• Template overrides — Copy any template into your theme’s job-connect/ directory to fully customise the markup.
• 70+ hooks — Actions and filters throughout the plugin for deep customisation without modifying core files.
• REST API — Endpoints for job listings, settings, and the setup wizard (/jobco/v1/).
• Translation-ready — Full i18n support with RTL compatibility. Text domain: job-connect.

Совместимость
