Hiring talents could be a daunting task if you still need any third party to make it happen. These days most of the business websites hold a page that intitles with Career, Job, or Join US as a job board.

A job board can act as an add-on content page for your website that also helps draw traffic. This allows employers to connect employees directly and manage the recruiting process easy and smoother.

In this article, I will show how to create a job board on your website. To make it possible, I’m going to use the Ninja Job Board plugin, a quality free WordPress job board plugin. Without further ado, let’s move forward.

How to create a job board

Using the Ninja Job board plugin for creating a job board and placing it on your website is like publishing blog posts on your website. At first, you can create it as a draft then publish it after having a final review.

To start things off, you need to install the Ninja Job Board plugin first. Then click on the WP Job Board located in the left sidebar of the plugin’s dashboard. Next, click on the Create a new Job Circular button.

Once you will click on the button, a pop up will appear with an input field to put the job title.

Once, you click on the Continue button, you will be taken to the dashboard of the plugin where you will have options to create the job boards on your website.

In the dashboard, you will have 5 different tabs located on top of the page to configure your job board plugin while creating a job board on your website. Each tab comprises of unique features and functionalities to enhance your job board.

By default, you will find the Post Details tab where you’ll get options to provide a detailed job description. You will get a WordPress classic editor to put the information about your job circular.

Below the editor section, you will get another section for putting information about the Location, Number of Vacancies, Experience in Years, and Job Type.

After providing the detailed texts, click on the Save Draft to see the preview of the page. In the preview, you’ll see that an apply button(Apply for this position) is available in order to provide the applicants a way to apply for the respective job. Take a look at the preview of the page for better understanding:

This is how you can show a circular page on your site, then you need to create an application form to provide applicants a way to submit additional information.

After filling all the requirements of the Job Details tab, click on the Application Form tab to set up the further procedure with a job application form.

To create and set up an application form, click on the Application Form tab, then you will find a basic application form built-in to put your data in it.

You can customize the built-in set up as you need. There are 13 input fields available to configure the application form. For demonstration purposes, here I’m keeping all 4 input fields. Here, take a look at the preview of the application form.

This application page will appear when applicants click on the Apply for the position button. By default, this page will appear on the same page beneath the circular or job details. You can also show a confirmation message when the form gets submitted. To enable this feature, click on the Form Settings option, next, define the Confirmation Type.

You can show the message confirmation on the same page, to another page, or you can create a custom URL to show the message separately.

Now, if you submit the application after filling the application form, you will see the submission notification is shown after the form is submitted.

Now, you can see the submitted entries in the dashboard by clicking on the Application button.

Once you click on the Applications button, you will find the submitted entries in the respective form.

In the entry page, click on the eye icon to view the submitted data by the respective applicant.

I think you got it, now it’s a matter of time to create a job board plugin and publish it on your website. After making sure, click on the publish button on the top right corner of the page.

This is how you can add the job board to your website using a quality WordPress plugin. I hope, this article helped you to know how to create and add a job board for showing circular on your website. If you still have any queries, feel free to share anything you want in the comment section below.
