Description
The Job Manager add-on transforms Directorist into a job board platform, adding a dedicated job listing type with custom fields for position, company, salary, contract type, and application deadline. The extension enables job submission forms from the front-end, a candidate dashboard, and an application flow directly on the listing page, serving sites that need to operate as a recruitment portal within the Directorist ecosystem.
Key Features
- Dedicated listing type: builds a job posting framework with custom fields for description, requirements, salary range, and location.
- Front-end submission: public form for companies to post jobs without accessing the WordPress admin panel.
- Application flow: apply button on the job listing, collecting candidate data and submitting resumes.
- Category and type management: specific taxonomies for professional areas, work modalities, and experience levels.
- Advertiser dashboard: area for companies to track posted jobs, status, and applications received in the directory.
Benefits of the Job Manager
- Specialized directory: reuses the Directorist base to run a vertical job portal without rewriting listing logic.
- Decentralized operation: lets employers post and manage their own jobs, reducing the administrator’s manual work.
- Tailored experience: fields and filters designed for searching by position, area, and location, rather than the generic directory pattern.
- Integrated monetization: uses paid submission models and Directorist plans to charge for job postings.
Who is this recommended for?
- Classified sites that want to open a dedicated job section within the same directory.
- Regional or niche job portals built on Directorist.
- HR agencies and consulting firms that need a job grid manageable by their own client contractors.
For those already operating with Directorist and seeking to expand the directory into the recruitment segment, this extension delivers the layer of job-specific fields, forms, and taxonomies without requiring a separate job plugin. The result is a cohesive portal, with company registrations, opportunity listings, and applications coexisting in the same flow as Directorist.
