Workeera – Remote Tech Job Board

Description

Workeera – Remote Tech Job Board turns any WordPress site into a fully featured job board. Employers can register, post jobs and review applications from a dedicated front-end dashboard. Candidates can build their profile, upload CVs, browse jobs, and apply with a single click.

Everything — jobs, candidates, taxonomies, applications and CV files — is managed in dedicated custom database tables for performance, so your wp_posts and wp_postmeta stay clean.

Key features

  • Front-end dashboards for candidates and employers, with a section-aware top bar (breadcrumbs + menu) and a dashboard home with live stats.
  • Job listings page with keyword search, sorting, sticky/featured jobs, and rich filters: sector, skills, job type, experience, salary range, location (country/city), and more.
  • Smart filtering — selecting a sector dynamically narrows the available skills, across listings, the job-posting form, the candidate profile and the admin.
  • Custom taxonomies with their own tables and admin screens: Sectors, Skills, Job Types, Time Zones, Benefits, Experiences.
  • Apply flow — applications are stored in a dedicated table and the candidate’s CV is copied into a private application-files folder so each application keeps its own snapshot.
  • External apply mode — jobs can route applicants to an external URL instead of the in-site application popup, configurable per job.
  • Employer dashboard — post jobs, manage jobs (edit/expire/feature), and review applications with bulk status changes (reviewed / shortlisted / rejected).
  • Candidate dashboard — applied jobs, recommended jobs, CV manager (multiple CVs per candidate), and editable profile.
  • wp-admin Jobs/Candidates/Applications screens with custom columns, employer filter, status filter, and a Workeera Dashboard page with site-wide stats.
  • Email notifications for first-time job publication, new applications received, and application-status changes — fully themeable via template overrides.
  • Scheduled tasks (WP-Cron) to expire jobs past their deadline, clean orphan application rows, refresh term counts, and purge stale transients.
  • Theme-overridable templates — every front-end template can be overridden from the active theme’s workeera-remote-tech-job-board/ folder.
  • Translation ready — all user-facing strings use the workeera-remote-tech-job-board text domain with proper translators: comments on placeholder strings.
  • Custom DB tables for jobs, candidates, applications, taxonomy terms, term relations, term counts and a plugin transients store, with batched cron jobs to keep everything tidy.

Built for developers

  • Object-oriented, PSR-style class structure.
  • WordPress-standard PHPDoc / JSDoc on every public class and function.
  • Filterable AJAX endpoints scoped through a single workeera_action dispatcher plus standard wp_ajax_* hooks.
  • Parallel custom-table CRUD helper (Workeera_Query_Handler) and meta helper (workeera_get_object_meta / workeera_update_object_meta).
  • Theme-overridable view layer via workeera_get_template_part( $slug, $name, $ext ).

Installation

  1. Upload the workeera-remote-tech-job-board folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
  3. Go to Workeera → Settings to configure your pages (Dashboard page, Jobs listing page, Terms & Privacy links) and general options (salary unit, location filter type, max jobs per 24 hours, apply-method options, etc.).
  4. Create the pages you referenced and add the [workeera_user_dashboard] and [workeera_jobs_listing] shortcodes (or assign them in Workeera → Settings → Pages).
  5. (Optional) Populate the taxonomy screens (Sectors, Skills, Job Types, etc.) with starter terms — or use the Import Sample Data button on each taxonomy page.

  • WordPress 6.0 or newer
  • PHP 8.0 or newer
  • MySQL 8.0 or newer (or MariaDB 10.5+)

FAQ

Can the same user be both an employer and a candidate?

No. Each user is assigned a single workeera_user_type (candidate or employer) the first time they reach the dashboard. The plugin scaffolds the matching candidate post automatically for candidate users.

Where are CVs stored?

In wp-content/uploads/wp-workeera/cv-files/ for the candidate’s CV manager. When a candidate applies to a job, a snapshot copy is written to wp-content/uploads/wp-workeera/application-files/<year>/<month>/ and that copy is the one the employer sees. Direct file URLs are not exposed — downloads go through a permission-checked handler.

Can a job link to an external application URL instead of using the on-site popup?

Yes. Set the Job apply method option in Workeera → Settings to External, Internal, or Both. When External (or Both with the per-job choice set to External) is selected, the Apply button on the job page becomes an outbound link to the configured URL.

Can I customize the email notifications?

Yes. The three notification emails (job-published, new-application, application-status) live as templates under templates/emails/. Copy the file into your theme at your-theme/workeera-remote-tech-job-board/emails/email-<slug>.php and edit it freely. The {token} placeholders documented at the top of each template are replaced before sending.

Does the plugin support translations?

Yes — every user-facing string uses the workeera-remote-tech-job-board text domain, and strings with placeholders (%s, %d) carry translators: comments so that WP-CLI’s i18n tools generate accurate .pot entries. Drop your translation files into /wp-content/languages/plugins/ or under the plugin’s own languages/ folder.

How does the plugin perform on large sites?

Jobs, applications and taxonomy relations live in dedicated indexed tables (not wp_postmeta), so filtering listings and counting applications stays fast as data grows. Cron jobs that recount terms and clean orphan rows are batched (capped per run) and checkpointed via a custom transients table.

How do I uninstall?

Deactivate and delete the plugin from the Plugins screen. The custom tables and uploaded application files are intentionally preserved on deactivation so you can re-enable without data loss. If you need a clean removal, drop the workeera_* tables and the wp-content/uploads/wp-workeera/ folder manually.
