About Workeera
From the official readme · v1.0.7Description
Take hiring further with Workeera that automate the slow parts: AI applicant match scoring ranks every application against the job — with the reasoning behind each score — so recruiters review the best-fit candidates first, while AI resume parsing and a candidate resume builder let job seekers apply in minutes. The result is less busywork, faster hiring, and a smoother experience for candidates.
Workeera turns any WordPress site into a fully featured job board. Employers can register, post jobs and review applications from a dedicated front-end dashboard. Candidates can build their profile, upload CVs, browse jobs, and apply with a single click. Learn more at workeera.com.
Everything — jobs, candidates, taxonomies, applications and CV files — is managed in dedicated custom database tables for performance, so your wp_posts and wp_postmeta stay clean.
The AI add-ons connect to the Workeera AI service. To enable them, create an account at Hiremium, generate your API key from the dashboard, then paste it into Workeera → Settings → General on your site.
Key features
- AI & automation ready — extend with free & official add-ons for AI applicant match scoring (with per-candidate reasoning), AI resume parsing, a candidate resume builder, and automated job alerts — automating screening and speeding up applications to save time for recruiters and job seekers.
- Front-end dashboards for candidates and employers, with a section-aware top bar (breadcrumbs + menu) and a dashboard home with live stats.
- Job listings page with keyword search, sorting, sticky/featured jobs, and rich filters: sector, skills, job type, experience, salary range, location (country/city), and more.
- Smart filtering — selecting a sector dynamically narrows the available skills, across listings, the job-posting form, the candidate profile and the admin.
- Custom taxonomies with their own tables and admin screens: Sectors, Skills, Job Types, Time Zones, Benefits, Experiences.
- Apply flow — applications are stored in a dedicated table and the candidate’s CV is copied into a private
application-filesfolder so each application keeps its own snapshot. - External apply mode — jobs can route applicants to an external URL instead of the in-site application popup, configurable per job.
- Employer dashboard — post jobs, manage jobs (edit/expire/feature), and review applications with bulk status changes (reviewed / shortlisted / rejected).
- Candidate dashboard — applied jobs, recommended jobs, CV manager (multiple CVs per candidate), and editable profile.
- wp-admin Jobs/Candidates/Applications screens with custom columns, employer filter, status filter, and a Workeera Dashboard page with site-wide stats.
- Email notifications for first-time job publication, new applications received, and application-status changes — fully themeable via template overrides.
- Scheduled tasks (WP-Cron) to expire jobs past their deadline, clean orphan application rows, refresh term counts, and purge stale transients.
- Theme-overridable templates — every front-end template can be overridden from the active theme’s
workeera-remote-tech-job-board/folder. - Translation ready — all user-facing strings use the
workeera-remote-tech-job-boardtext domain with propertranslators:comments on placeholder strings. - Custom DB tables for jobs, candidates, applications, taxonomy terms, term relations, term counts and a plugin transients store, with batched cron jobs to keep everything tidy.
- Google Job Posting Structured Data for Job Search — jobs are automatically marked up with the required schema.org JSON-LD for Google Job Search.
Built for developers
- Object-oriented, PSR-style class structure.
- WordPress-standard PHPDoc / JSDoc on every public class and function.
- Filterable AJAX endpoints scoped through a single
workeera_actiondispatcher plus standardwp_ajax_*hooks. - Parallel custom-table CRUD helper (
Workeera_Query_Handler) and meta helper (workeera_get_object_meta/workeera_update_object_meta). - Theme-overridable view layer via
workeera_get_template_part( $slug, $name, $ext ).
Installation
- Upload the
workeera-remote-tech-job-boardfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
- Run the Setup Wizard — Workeera does the work for you. On first activation the plugin launches a guided setup wizard that sets everything up automatically: it creates the Dashboard and Jobs listing pages for you (with the correct
[workeera_user_dashboard]and[workeera_jobs_listing]shortcodes already in place), assigns them in settings, and walks you through the key general options (salary unit, location filter type, max jobs per 24 hours, apply-method, etc.). In a couple of clicks your job board is live — no manual page-building required. You can re-run the wizard any time from Workeera → Setup Wizard. - Prefer to set things up by hand? You can skip the wizard and do it manually instead: create the pages yourself, add the
[workeera_user_dashboard]and[workeera_jobs_listing]shortcodes (or assign existing pages in Workeera → Settings → Pages), then fine-tune the rest under Workeera → Settings. - (Optional) Populate the taxonomy screens (Sectors, Skills, Job Types, etc.) with starter terms — or just click the Import Sample Data button on each taxonomy screen and Workeera fills them in for you.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.0 or newer
- PHP 8.0 or newer
- MySQL 8.0 or newer (or MariaDB 10.5+)
Frequently asked questions
Can the same user be both an employer and a candidate?
No. Each user is assigned a single workeera_user_type (candidate or employer) the first time they reach the dashboard. The plugin scaffolds the matching candidate post automatically for candidate users.
Where are CVs stored?
In wp-content/uploads/wp-workeera/cv-files/ for the candidate’s CV manager. When a candidate applies to a job, a snapshot copy is written to wp-content/uploads/wp-workeera/application-files/// and that copy is the one the employer sees. Direct file URLs are not exposed — downloads go through a permission-checked handler.
Can a job link to an external application URL instead of using the on-site popup?
Yes. Set the Job apply method option in Workeera → Settings to External, Internal, or Both. When External (or Both with the per-job choice set to External) is selected, the Apply button on the job page becomes an outbound link to the configured URL.
Can I customize the email notifications?
Yes. The three notification emails (job-published, new-application, application-status) live as templates under templates/emails/. Copy the file into your theme at your-theme/workeera-remote-tech-job-board/emails/email-.php and edit it freely. The {token} placeholders documented at the top of each template are replaced before sending.
Does the plugin support translations?
Yes — every user-facing string uses the workeera-remote-tech-job-board text domain, and strings with placeholders (%s, %d) carry translators: comments so that WP-CLI’s i18n tools generate accurate .pot entries. Drop your translation files into /wp-content/languages/plugins/ or under the plugin’s own languages/ folder.
How does the plugin perform on large sites?
Jobs, applications and taxonomy relations live in dedicated indexed tables (not wp_postmeta), so filtering listings and counting applications stays fast as data grows. Cron jobs that recount terms and clean orphan rows are batched (capped per run) and checkpointed via a custom transients table.
How do I uninstall?
Deactivate and delete the plugin from the Plugins screen. The custom tables and uploaded application files are intentionally preserved on deactivation so you can re-enable without data loss. If you need a clean removal, drop the workeera_* tables and the wp-content/uploads/wp-workeera/ folder manually.
