Overview
WP Job Manager Job Alerts is a practical fit for job boards that want visitors to return through recurring email notifications rather than repeatedly checking search results. Users can create alerts from job searches, choose a delivery schedule, and later preview, edit, disable, enable, or delete those alerts. Administrators can control available alert fields, customize email content and branding, require accounts, set an expiry period, and choose whether messages are sent only when matching jobs exist. The main implementation constraint is the alerts management page. The supported setup requires a page whose own content literally contains [job_alerts]; placing the form only through a widget, page-builder module, template, synced pattern, or nested shortcode can leave email action links non-functional. Scheduled delivery also depends on WordPress cron being triggered, which may require a real server cron on low-traffic sites. Before deploying, test alert creation, confirmation and unsubscribe links, scheduled delivery, sender behavior, and matching results on staging with the site’s actual mail configuration.
Lets visitors create job alerts from searches using keywords, location, categories, tags, job type, and an optional permission checkbox.
Sends scheduled alert emails daily, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, with scheduled messages containing new jobs since the previous email for that alert.
Provides a [job_alerts] shortcode-based page where users can add, preview, enable, disable, edit, and delete alerts.
Allows administrators to configure whether an account is required, choose alert form fields, set alert duration, and send messages only when matches exist.
Supports customizable alert email text with dynamic values such as the alert name, matching jobs, next delivery date, expiry date, and display name.
Includes an administration area for viewing or moderating existing alerts.
Offers developer filters for adding an email frequency and changing the notification sender name or subject.
Supports alert management for visitors without required accounts through email links containing a verification token.
Compatibility and setup context
- Designed for sites using WP Job Manager job searches and listings; the documented “Add Alert” action appears on a page using the [jobs] shortcode.
- The alerts management page must contain the literal [job_alerts] shortcode in the page’s own content; widget, template, page-builder, synced-pattern, and nested-shortcode placement is not the documented supported arrange
- Email delivery depends on WordPress cron unless the site uses a separately configured real cron job, so low-traffic sites should verify scheduled execution.
- The optional location-radius behavior described in the documentation comes from the separate Job Manager Geolocation plugin, not the core Job Alerts add-on.
- Salary is not supported as an alert field according to the product documentation.
- Custom template or code changes may require developer work; the documentation states that support does not cover customizing this plugin or debugging its code examples.
