Talentora is a lightweight, developer-friendly job board plugin that makes it easy to add a professional career page to any WordPress site. Whether you run a small business or a large recruiting platform, Talentora gives you all the tools you need to post jobs, categorize them, and let candidates apply — all without leaving WordPress.
Key Features
Job Management
- Custom Post Type – A dedicated Job post type with clean, SEO-friendly URLs ( /job/job-title/ ).
- Job Categories & Types – Flexible hierarchical taxonomies to organize listings (e.g., Engineering, Remote, Full-Time).
- Rich Job Meta Fields – Location, salary range, currency symbol, application deadline, company name, company website, and company logo.
- Job Filled Flag – Mark any job as filled to automatically stop accepting new applications.
- Shortcode-Powered Listings – Display a filterable job board anywhere with [talentora_jobs].
Application Management
- Built-in Application Form – No third-party form plugin required. The [talentora_application_form] shortcode renders a complete form (name, email, phone, cover letter, resume upload).
