Forms & CRM
WP Job Manager Applications
WP Job Manager Applications replaces application links with configurable forms, stores submissions, and gives employers or administrators tools to review candidates. It suits sites built around WP Job Manager listings, but staging checks should cover email delivery, file uploads, user restrictions, and any add-on dependencies.

Overview
WP Job Manager Applications is designed for recruitment sites that already use WP Job Manager and want applications handled inside WordPress rather than sent directly to an external email address or website. Candidates can submit a form attached to a listing, while employers can review submissions through the front-end job dashboard when listings are submitted by employers, or through the WordPress admin area when the site operator manages the listings. Applications are stored in the database and can be organized with statuses, ratings, and private notes. The form editor supports multiple forms, so different jobs can request different information, although the documentation states that conditional fields are not included. Resume selection and links to online resumes require the separate Resume Manager add-on. Before launch, test the listing’s application recipient logic, candidate notifications, mail handling, upload rules, and personal-data retention settings on staging; the documented installation requirement is WP Job Manager 1.22.0 and PHP 5.3 or later, which should be checked against the current hosting environment rather than treated as a modern platform recommendation.
Replaces standard application email or website links with configurable job application forms and stores submitted applications in the database.
Lets employers view applications from the front-end job dashboard, while administrators can manage all applications in the WordPress admin dashboard.
Supports multiple application forms that can be assigned to individual job listings.
Provides editable fields including text, textarea, file, select, multiselect, checkbox, date, resume, and non-input content fields.
Offers validation options such as required, email, and numeric, plus an attachment rule for file uploads.
Allows applications to be filtered, sorted, rated, annotated with private notes, and organized by statuses such as New, Interviewed, Offer extended, Hired, and Archived.
Can send employer and candidate notifications with editable subjects, message bodies, and dynamic tags; employer recipients are determined by the listing data.
Provides CSV export for applications belonging to a job listing and XML export for all Job Applications through WordPress Tools > Export.
Compatibility and setup context
- The documentation lists WP Job Manager 1.22.0 and PHP 5.3 or later as requirements; verify these documented requirements against the current WordPress, PHP, theme, and hosting stack on staging.
- Front-end employer access is intended for sites that use WP Job Manager front-end job listing submissions; administrator management is available when the site operator lists jobs.
- Resume fields and selectable online resumes require the separate Resume Manager add-on.
- The plugin does not include conditional fields, so workflows needing conditional questions require another form solution or custom development.
- Emailing a candidate from the dashboard uses the device or browser’s mailto handler rather than sending through the plugin’s own mail service.
