DeveloperA simple yet powerful job board plugin for WordPress. Post jobs, manage applications, and help employers find the right talent.
Talentora is a lightweight, developer-friendly job board plugin that makes it easy to add a professional career page to any WordPress site. Whether you run a small business or a large recruiting platform, Talentora gives you all the tools you need to post jobs, categorize them, and let candidates apply — all without leaving WordPress.
Key Features
Job Management
- Custom Post Type – A dedicated
Jobpost type with clean, SEO-friendly URLs (/job/job-title/). - Job Categories & Types – Flexible hierarchical taxonomies to organize listings (e.g., Engineering, Remote, Full-Time).
- Rich Job Meta Fields – Location, salary range, currency symbol, application deadline, company name, company website, and company logo.
- Job Filled Flag – Mark any job as filled to automatically stop accepting new applications.
- Shortcode-Powered Listings – Display a filterable job board anywhere with
[talentora_jobs].
Application Management
- Built-in Application Form – No third-party form plugin required. The
[talentora_application_form]shortcode renders a complete form (name, email, phone, cover letter, resume upload). - Resume Upload – Supports PDF, DOC, DOCX files up to 5 MB; stored privately in the WordPress Media Library.
- Applications Inbox – All submissions are stored as a private custom post type (
talentora_app) and viewable under Talentora Applications. - Status Workflow – Configurable application statuses (Pending, Reviewed, Shortlisted, Rejected, Hired) with per-application status selector.
- Bulk Status Actions – Change the status of multiple applications at once directly from the list screen.
- CSV Export – Export all applications to a spreadsheet-ready CSV file with one click.
- Secure Resume Download – Nonce-protected download link for each applicant’s CV, accessible only to authorised admins.
- Activity Log – Per-application audit trail of every status change, timestamped and attributed to the acting user.

- Applicant Confirmation Email – Sends an acknowledgement to the candidate on successful submission.
