You’d need to write a custom function for this either as part of your submit page template, or hooked in. The actual code would need to:
1. See who’s logged in
2. Check their user meta (jobs posted, you’d create this later)
3. Grant or deny access
4. After posting a job you’d update the user meta to note they made a posting.
5. After each subscription term you’d reset the meta.
The above would require a developer to implement – try jobs.wordpress.net
I’ve built something similar with WC Paid Listings, which works with Subscriptions plugin and WooCommerce – each package can be a subscription and allow X postings per term, so its possible but in your case (s2member) needs some code.

Hi Mike, thanks for your reply. I’ll get posting on the job websites then!
I need a lot of similar “per month” restrictions on my website, and it seems this always requires custom coding, clearly we’re not going for a standard “plug and play” website then apparently!
Many thanks

Hi Mike
I think I’ve found a workaround solution
If I purchase the “Paid Listings” add-on, can I have 3 different job submission forms?
1 like the standard (ie – submit unlimited jobs)
1 showing packages at a certain price
1 showing packages at a discounted price
I’m using S2Member so I can easily restrict who sees which shortcode or even seperate pages setup for each if needed.
Or if not, does the “standard” form still exist in some form? Or if I create a link to it, will it automatically redirect any user to the “buy a package” page?
There is only 1 job submission form – you cannot have multiple. And even with s2member, those packages won’t recur (I’ve only added recurring support for WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin).

Ok thanks Mike. The recurring isn’t important now as we’ve decided to reduce our requirements due to time
If I did purchase your woocommerce plugin, could I create a page of packages, forcing people to buy a package, and a separate page with the standard job posting form?
I can then restrict who sees what
With WCPL you could have a ‘free’ package and let users optionally use that during submission.
