Description
The Resume Manager add-on adds a complete resume submission and listing system to WP Job Manager, creating shortcodes for the submission form, candidate dashboard, and AJAX filterable listing with fields for name, contact, academic background, and professional history. Built for those who run job portals and want to receive structured applications instead of scattered emails, it turns the site into a recruiter-searchable talent pool.
