Users appreciate the WordPress job listing plugin for its robust functionality, ease of setup, and customization capabilities. Many find it dependable, with solid support and a variety of useful add-ons that enhance its core features. The plugin caters well to creating job boards with features like frontend submission forms and integration with themes. However, there are drawbacks, such as limited free version functionalities and reliance on paid add-ons for essential features like job application forms. Users also mention poor documentation and support, issues with obsolete translations, and problems with search functionality and interface usability on mobile devices. Despite these issues, the plugin is praised for its comprehensive job management capabilities and flexibility.

It’s one of the best job listing plugins, and many job board themes are relying on it. However, you really need to have some dev experience to make it work for your specific case. That’s where the premium plugins come into play.

The free version is limited to posting simple job board ads. Visitors can then click to email you to apply. The job application form is a paid add-on, but it is very limited to only hosting one form for all jobs. The back-end view for managers looking at job applicants is very limited as well. I expected more from Automatic.

I have come back to this plugin time and time again as its very robust and user friendly to setup. Also great support when needed. Plenty of solid addons also available for the plugin, looking forward to the new releases and enhanced features. Thank you.

The plugin is very complex and the documentation is related to that very poor. Even as wordpress professional I had a lot of questions, but they couldnt answer it. Either it was because it was free plugin or it was because it was paid plugin, which was included in the workscout theme I bought. So either way – they were not willing to give support and wasted time to write and explain me terms and conditions instead of just saying “look into file xyz.php, there you could find it”. That is not state of the art in 2022 and I will never use those plugins to create a website for customers.
