WP Job Manager is a lightweight job listing plugin for adding job board functionality to your WordPress site. Being shortcode based, it can work with any theme (given a bit of CSS styling) and is really simple to setup.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Add, manage, and categorize job listings using the familiar WordPress UI.</li>
<li>Searchable & filterable ajax powered job listings added to your pages via shortcodes.</li>
<li>Frontend forms for guests and registered users to submit & manage job listings.</li>
<li>Allow job listers to preview their listing before it goes live. The preview matches the appearance of a live job listing.</li>
<li>Each listing can be tied to an email or website address so that job seekers can apply to the jobs.</li>
<li>Searches also display RSS links to allow job seekers to be alerted to new jobs matching their search.</li>
<li>Allow logged in employers to view, edit, mark filled, or delete their active job listings.</li>
<li>Job statistics for employers about job listing views and search impressions.</li>
<li>Developer friendly code – Custom post types, endpoints & template files.</li>
</ul>
The plugin comes with several shortcodes to output jobs in various formats, and since its built with Custom Post Types you are free to extend it further through themes.
