One plugin replaces two stacks
vs job-board SaaS
A monthly bill that grows with your listings, their branding, and your employers and candidates living on someone else’s platform. Leave, and the board leaves with them.
WP Career Board is self-hosted. One license, your domain, your database. The board and the revenue are yours.
vs old WordPress job plugins
Thin cores that need a pile of paid add-ons for dashboards, applications, and resumes, often on dated shortcode-and-jQuery foundations.
WP Career Board ships the full front-end hiring experience on Gutenberg blocks and the Interactivity API, with an ATS pipeline in Pro.
What you can build
Not a listings widget. A real two-sided job board: a public board, employer and candidate dashboards, applications, and company profiles. Here is what each piece looks like.
Listings, categories, salary and location filters that update instantly with no page reload, powered by the Interactivity API.
Employers post jobs from a single-page form, manage listings, and review applicants from a front-end dashboard. No wp-admin access needed.
My applications
Candidates apply with a saved profile or as a guest, track applications, save jobs, and manage everything from their own dashboard.
Every employer gets a public company profile with their open roles, so your board doubles as a company directory.
Recruiter note
Strong design-systems portfolio, 6 years at a product studio. Phone screen booked Thursday 2pm.
Applications, statuses, notes, and bulk CSV export. Every applicant is tracked end to end, on your server.
No add-on shopping list. The free plugin runs a complete board; Pro adds the ATS pipeline, resume search, and monetization.
Try the live demoWho it's for
Launch a paid, self-hosted job board in a niche and keep all of the revenue, no per-listing platform cut.
Add hiring to your community. Members post and find jobs without leaving your site. Bundled with Reign.
Ship a client a complete careers site or job marketplace without stitching five plugins together.
Run your own careers page and applicant pipeline on your domain instead of renting an ATS seat.
Monetize a two-sided job marketplace with WooCommerce: paid listings, credit packages, featured slots.
Move off a hosted job-board subscription and own the whole thing for a flat yearly license.
Both sides, handled
Employers get a front-end dashboard to post and manage jobs. Candidates get their own dashboard to apply and track. Same board, two clean experiences, no wp-admin required.
My applications
ATS pipeline (Pro)
Pro turns applications into a drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline: stages from applied to hired, notes, and status tracking. An ATS-style hiring board that lives in WordPress, no separate tool.

AI assist (Pro)
