For past couple of years I have worked on a plugin called WP Broadbean. This plugin integrates Broadbean‘s job Adcourier posting service with your WordPress site, allowing jobs posting through Broadbean to delivered to your site. While this plugin is working well, I have had multiple enquiries about integrating Broadbean job posting with the popular WP Job Manager plugin. Well today I am announcing that I can now offer this integration too. Let me explain a little more.
The WP Job Manager plugin is a plugin to provide Job board functionality to your WordPress site and was developed by Mike Jolly who works on the WooCommerce project. The plugin is very good and provides a jobs post type and associated taxonomies and meta fields for jobs, similar to the WP Broadbean plugin. It also has a nice AJAX style search built in to allow candidates to search for jobs in specific categories etc. as well as allowing candidates to apply for a job through the site.
These are mainly the features that the WP Broadbean plugin has. Although using my stand-alone plugin is more specific to Broadbean job posting itself, I can see the advantages of using the WP Job Manager plugin with its community and increased usage.
So onto my integration then. I have a built a WordPress plugin which acts as an addon for the WP Job Manager plugin. This provides an additional settings screen where site owners can create a username and password in order to setup their feed with Broadbean.
The plugin works even with sites that have registered additional fields in the WP Job Manager plugin so that it picks these up without any additional development, assuming of course they have been added correctly using the hooks and filters provided by WP Job Manager.
It also hooks into the application form to allow candidate applications made on the WordPress site to be tracked in from within Broadbean along with applications for other sources or job boards.
If you are interested in integrating Broadbean with the WordPress and the WP Job Manager plugin then please do get in touch for a quote.
