Description

The Job Alerts add-on lets candidates save job searches and receive automatic email notifications when new opportunities matching their filter are published in WP Job Manager. Registered users choose the sending frequency (daily, weekly, biweekly) and manage their alerts in a dedicated area of the user dashboard, ensuring frequent return to the job board without needing to visit the site manually.
