Qadwilliam Jobs & Apply

Qadwilliam Jobs & Apply is the complete hiring platform for WordPress. Publish job openings, collect applications with CV uploads and custom screening questions, and manage every applicant from a dedicated admin dashboard — without relying on third-party job boards or external mail plugins.

For site owners

• Create and manage job listings with location, type, salary, and application deadlines (date and time).

• Organize positions with the Departments taxonomy.

• Review applications in one place: filter by job or status, download CVs, and update applicant status.

• Send automatic HTML email notifications to admins and applicants, including status updates (pending, reviewing, interview, hired, rejected).

• Configure your own SMTP settings inside the plugin — no WP Mail SMTP or similar plugin required.

For applicants

• Browse open positions on a careers page (auto-created on activation).

• View job details and apply with a responsive application form.

• Upload a CV (PDF, DOC, or DOCX), optional or required portfolio link, cover letter, and job-specific screening questions.

• Receive a confirmation email when an application is submitted.

Shortcodes

• [qwja_listings] — displays all open job listings (optional department="slug" filter).

• [qwja_apply] — displays the application form on a job page or with job_id="123".

Built-in safeguards

• Server-side validation for required fields, CV uploads, screening answers, and portfolio URLs.

• Application deadlines enforced on listings, job pages, and submissions.

• Duplicate applications blocked (same email + job within 24 hours).

• Secure CV storage outside the media library with protected upload directory.
