## Description

Employed Jobs Importer pulls job listings from the public Employed feed into your
WordPress site. No API key or license is required.

Employed (employed.com.br) is a Brazilian job platform for candidates. Job listings
are aggregated from multiple external portals.

**Features**

 * Zero-config setup: choose one or more states (UF) or a specific city, then sync.
 * City picker uses official IBGE municipality names (cached locally).
 * Custom post type `empljoim_job` with archive at `/vagas/`.
 * Daily automatic sync (~04:00 site timezone) plus manual sync.
 * Google for Jobs `JobPosting` JSON-LD on single job pages.
 * Apply button on job pages.
 * Shortcode `[employed_jobs]` and styled archive/single templates.

Job data is provided by [Employed](https://employed.com.br/). Application happens
on the Employed website.

### External services

This plugin connects to third-party services over HTTPS. No personal visitor data
from your site is sent to these services when a visitor only browses pages. Data
is sent from your WordPress server during admin configuration, manual sync, scheduled
sync, or when loading the city list.

#### Employed job feed

This plugin uses the public Employed distribution API to import job listings into
WordPress.

**Service:** [Employed](https://employed.com.br/) — Brazilian job platform that 
aggregates listings from external portals.

**Used for:** Downloading job listings filtered by state (UF) and optionally by 
city, then storing them locally as `empljoim_job` posts.

**When data is sent:** On manual sync, on the daily cron (~04:00 site timezone),
and during paginated feed requests while sync runs.

**Data sent:** Your server IP address, a `User-Agent` string identifying the plugin
and your site URL, an optional `X-EMPLJOIM-Site` header containing `home_url('/')`,
and query parameters (`estado`, optional `cidade`, pagination). No WordPress user
accounts or site visitor personal data are transmitted.

#### IBGE municipality API

This plugin uses the public IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics)
API to populate the city dropdown when you choose city scope.

**Service:** IBGE — `servicodados.ibge.gov.br`

**Used for:** Loading official municipality names for a selected Brazilian state(
UF). Results are cached locally on your site for 30 days.

**When data is sent:** When an administrator selects a UF in city scope, clicks **
Update list**, or when the city list is loaded in the settings screen.

**Data sent:** The selected UF code in the request URL only. No personal data is
sent.

## Installation

 1. Install from **Plugins  Add New**, or upload the zip.
 2. Activate **Employed Jobs Importer**.

## FAQ

### Do I need an API key?

No. The plugin uses Employed’s public distribution feed. Install, choose your scope,
and sync.

### Where does the city list come from?

From the public IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) API. Municipality
names are cached on your site for 30 days.

### Where does Apply send users?

To the canonical job page on employed.com.br. The plugin does not store or expose
employer direct application URLs.

### What is the difference between State and City scope?

**State** imports jobs from one or more selected UFs. **City** imports jobs filtered
to a single municipality within one UF.

### How often does sync run?

A daily cron runs around 04:00 in your site timezone. You can also sync manually
from the plugin settings screen.

### Does this plugin affect my theme?

No theme changes are required. The plugin registers its own post type, templates,
schema markup, and shortcode.
