What makes us different
Other form plugins only collect fields. WP Job Wizard remembers the hire.
Most WordPress forms dump applications into an inbox. WP Job Wizard is built for hiring — jobs, steps, emails, and a submission log that stays in wp-admin.
Native to WordPress
Configure steps, colors, and emails from wp-admin. No external SaaS account required for the core.
Flexible by design
Three job sources, hooks for add-ons, and a GPL core you can extend without rewriting your theme.
Candidate-first flow
Progress, validation, and a modal or embed so applicants finish — instead of bouncing from a wall of fields.
Your data stays yours
Applications live in your WordPress database. Export and integrations are coming as paid extensions.
Works with your jobs
Hire from the sources you already have
Point the wizard at a CPT archive, a REST API, or the built-in manager.
CPT archive
Use an existing WordPress job post type. The wizard reads the archive and keeps applications attached to the role.
Custom post typeTheme-friendly
REST API
Pull openings from an external feed when jobs live outside WordPress — agencies and multi-site setups included.
External feedHeadless-ready
Built-in manager
Create and manage jobs inside the plugin when you do not want a separate jobs CPT or third-party board.
