Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Host your own job board powered by the SimplyHired API. This plugin allows users to search for jobs, browse jobs by location and/or keyword, get possibly related jobs through a recommendation algorithm, and link directly to each job.

Features:

  • Admin options for publisher id, jobboard url (needed for click-tracking)
  • Admin global option to filter all results within top-level O*NET category
  • Job widget with options for title, number of results, query, location, etc.
  • Job widget includes option for Post a Job button.
  • O*NET support for niche enhancement
  • Job search pages include pagination and location filtering.
  • SimplyHired click-tracking javascript in page footers, with debug option.
  • SimplyHired attribution PER terms of agreement to use API.

** O NET Support **

Set a broad O NET classification to narrow your niche in the settings. All searches will pull from this classification. For example, to pull results from computer jobs, use O NET code of 15-10

Some O NET codes are not supported by the SimplyHired API such as Web Developers ONET 15-1099 and will return an error result. Backing up the chain to 15-10 finally sends valid results. Adjust this code as necessary.

** Shortcode Support **

Job search pages created using shortcode syntax with attributes for query, location, onet, page, radius, etc. ). Create niche targeted directories and sub-directories using normal WordPress pages.

shortcode syntax: [joblist query=”keywords” location=”city, state, or zip”]

The query attribute is required, where the location attribute is not. ), listing style, and whatever else will be helpful.

Roadmap Features:

  • Full job search through the SimplyHired API. Browse by company, by keyword, by location, or search with any keyword / location combination.
  • Retrieve job details for individual jobs.
