<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>Works with any theme</strong> — Classic themes, block themes, Full Site Editing — Job Connect adapts automatically.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight and fast</strong> — No bloated frameworks. Clean code, minimal queries, zero front-end library dependencies.</li>
<li><strong>Developer-friendly</strong> — 70+ hooks, a full template override system, and REST API endpoints.</li>
</ul>
<h3>For Site Owners</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>One-click setup wizard</strong> — Creates all required pages and assigns the right shortcodes automatically.</li>
<li><strong>Approval workflow</strong> — Review every listing before it goes live, or let trusted employers publish instantly.</li>

<li><strong>Access control</strong> — Restrict who can browse or view job listings by WordPress role or capability.</li>

<li><strong>Rich job submission form</strong> — Job title, rich-text description, company details, logo upload, location, salary, remote toggle, application method (email or URL), and more.</li>
<li><strong>Inline account creation</strong> — Employers can create an account right on the submission form — no separate registration step required.</li>

</ul>

<li><strong>Detailed job listings</strong> — Company logo, salary range, remote indicator, location, and full job description on every listing.</li>
</ul>
<h3>For Developers</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Template overrides</strong> — Copy any template into your theme’s <code>job-connect/</code> directory to fully customise the markup.</li>

</ul>
