About this plugin
IQ Jobs Manager adds a “Job Opening” post type with a simple classic-editor admin screen (title + one form for
location, type, salary, deadline, etc. — no page-builder or block-editor knowledge required), a public Careers page
you set up by picking pages in Settings (no shortcodes to add), a secure application pipeline (resumes are never
stored at a public URL and are only ever emailed as an attachment or downloaded through a login-gated link), and
HR tools for tracking and exporting applications.
Displaying content on your site
Go to Job Openings > Settings and pick a page for “Job Listings Page” and/or “General Application Form Page”.
The content appears there automatically — nothing to paste into the page editor.
If you’d rather place things manually, two block-editor blocks are also available — “Job Listings” and “Job
Application Form” — searchable from the block inserter. The classic shortcodes still work too, for page builders or
older themes: [career_jobs] (job listing with Apply buttons) and [career_form] (the general application form).
Admin
- Job Openings > Add New — HR fills in one form (description, location, type, experience, salary, openings,
skills, deadline) and clicks Publish.
- Job Openings > Form Fields — toggle/relabel which fields appear on the application form, and add custom
fields (label + type — the internal field name is generated automatically).
- Job Openings > Settings — pick the Job Listings / Application Form pages, set the HR notification email, and
configure uninstall data behavior.
- Applications — view submissions, change status (New / Reviewed / Interview / Hired / Rejected), download
resumes, export to CSV. Each application also records the applicant’s IP address and browser (user agent) to
help spot spam patterns.
- Job Openings > Analytics — page views, Apply clicks, submission attempts/successes/failures, overall and
broken down per job, over the last 7/30/90 days or all time.
External services
This plugin can optionally connect to Google reCAPTCHA to help protect the application forms (the Apply modal and
the general application form) from spam and automated submissions. It is off by default and only takes effect
if you enable it and enter your own site key and secret key under Job Openings > Settings > reCAPTCHA.
When enabled:
- The applicant’s browser loads Google’s reCAPTCHA script ( https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js ) so the
widget can render (v2) or a token can be generated (v3).
- When the applicant submits the form, the site sends the reCAPTCHA response token and the applicant’s IP address
com/recaptcha/api/siteverify ) to confirm the submission
wasn’t automated.
- When an administrator saves a reCAPTCHA secret key in Settings, the site makes one request to the same Google
endpoint to confirm the key is valid.
