<p><strong>Job Connect</strong> turns any WordPress site into a full-featured job board in minutes — not hours.</p>
<p>Job Connect gives you everything you need to run a job board out of the box: frontend job submission, an employer dashboard, email notifications, search and filtering, Google Maps integration, spam protection, and a modern React-based admin panel.</p>
<p>No page builders. No shortcode soup. Run the one-click setup wizard, and you’re live.</p>
<h3>Why Job Connect?</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Feature-rich out of the box</strong> — Frontend submission, employer dashboard, email alerts, search filters, and more — all included.</li>
<li><strong>Modern admin experience</strong> — A React-powered settings panel that feels like a modern web app, not a 2010 options page.</li>

<li><strong>Approval workflow</strong> — Review every listing before it goes live, or let trusted employers publish instantly.</li>

</ul>
<h3>For Developers</h3>
<ul>
