Two dashboards, zero wp-admin
A job board has two audiences, and neither of them should ever see your WordPress admin. WP Career Board gives each side its own front-end dashboard. Employers get a place to post jobs, manage their listings, and review applicants. Candidates get a place to apply, track every application, and save jobs to come back to. Both run entirely on the front end, styled to match your theme, so the experience feels like a product and not a back office.
That matters because the alternative is ugly. Most job plugins either drop employers into wp-admin, which is confusing and looks unprofessional, or they sell the front-end dashboard as a paid add-on. WP Career Board includes both dashboards in the free plugin.
Posting and reviewing, the employer side
Employers post from a front-end form. You can use the single-page form, where every field sits on one screen, or the multi-step wizard. They share the same fields, the same REST endpoint, and the same custom-field hooks, so the choice is purely about the flow you want. Once jobs are live, the employer dashboard lists them, surfaces incoming applicants, and lets employers move each application through the hiring statuses.
Applying and tracking, the candidate side
Candidates can apply as a guest with just a name and email, removing the single biggest barrier to applications, or apply with a saved profile so they can track everything in one place. From the candidate dashboard they watch each application move through five statuses, Submitted, Reviewing, Shortlisted, Rejected, and Hired, and they save interesting jobs for later. Every status change sends an automatic email, so candidates always know where they stand and employers never have to send updates by hand.
