Description

The Application Deadline add-on adds to WP Job Manager a deadline date field for applications in each job, automatically hiding the application form when the deadline expires and marking the job as closed in the listing. Designed for those who manage job boards with short hiring windows (internships, seasonal hiring processes, calls for applications), it prevents applications outside the deadline without requiring manual intervention from the recruiter.

Key Features of the Application Deadline

  • Deadline date field per job
    Adds a date picker to the registration form of each job listing.
  • Automatic application closing
    Hides the button and the application form as soon as the configured date is passed.
  • Deadline display on the listing
    Shows the deadline directly on the public job page to guide candidates.
  • Integration with the standard flow
    Works with WP Job Manager’s native shortcodes and templates without rewriting screens.
  • Admin panel control
    Allows the administrator to edit, extend, or remove the deadline at any time.

Benefits of the Application Deadline

  • Less manual screening
    Recruiters stop receiving applications after the deadline, reducing operational workload.
  • Organized hiring process
    Each job gains a clear, visible application window for the candidate.
  • Transparency with candidates
    Exposing the deadline prevents frustration for those who would try to apply after closing.
  • Always up-to-date job board
    Listings with an expired deadline adjust automatically, keeping the site consistent.

Who Is the Application Deadline Intended For?

  • Those who run a job board on WP Job Manager with strict application deadlines.
  • Recruitment agencies that publish calls for applications and hiring processes with a defined window.
  • Universities and career centers that promote internships and scholarships with a cutoff date.
  • Seasonal opportunity sites (season, events, freelancing) that need to close listings on their own.

How to Download the Application Deadline

The Application Deadline is available for download here on Ultrapack. After receiving the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the package, and activate it. With WP Job Manager already running, the deadline date field will start appearing in the registration form of each new job.

For anyone who keeps an active job board on WordPress, this add-on solves a practical gap in WP Job Manager: automatic control of the job lifecycle. By delegating the closing of applications to the configured date itself, the site preserves credibility with candidates and frees the recruiting team to focus on screening the resumes that are actually valid.
