Description

The Job Tags addon adds a tags taxonomy to WP Job Manager, allowing employers to label each job posting with skills, technologies, tools, or areas of interest directly in the creation of the listing. Candidates refine searches via a tag cloud rendered by the shortcode [job_tag_cloud] or through the filters built into the listing of [jobs], switching multiple tags to find opportunities aligned with their technical profile.

Key Features of Job Tags

  • Native job taxonomy
    Creates a dedicated WordPress taxonomy for tags linked to the custom post type of jobs.
  • Employer assignment
    Allows including tags in the posting form used by those advertising the job.
  • Tag cloud via shortcode
    Renders a tag cloud on any page using the shortcode [job_tag_cloud].
  • Filter in the public listing
    Integrates switching multiple tags into the shortcode [jobs] to refine results in real time.
  • Display on the job page
    Shows the assigned tags in the individual template of each published listing.

Benefits of Job Tags

  • More precise discovery
    Candidates find jobs by specific skill instead of browsing broad categories.
  • Qualified match
    Listings reach people who exactly master the required tool or technology.
  • Interest-based navigation
    Visitors explore the board from the tag cloud, reducing the time to the relevant job.
  • Extra layer of SEO
    Each tag generates an indexable archive page, capturing long-tail searches.

Who Is Job Tags Intended For?

  • Anyone who maintains a job board in technical fields (IT, design, marketing) and needs to segment by specific skills.
  • Freelancer and talent sites that want to enable filtering by tools, languages, and certifications.
  • For those already using WP Job Manager and who miss a second layer of classification beyond the standard categories.

How to Download Job Tags

The Job Tags is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the file, and activate it. With WP Job Manager already active, the tags taxonomy appears in the jobs menu, ready to receive new terms.

In boards that bring together opportunities across various technical areas, segmentation by tags provides more usefulness than the standard category structure of WP Job Manager. Those operating in niches with their own vocabulary (programming languages, design software, specific certifications) gain an additional classification axis that brings qualified candidates closer to the right jobs within the same site.
