WP Job Manager Bookmarks Add-on 1.5.0

The WP Job Manager Bookmarks Add-on is a simple yet highly effective extension that significantly improves the user experience for job seekers on your WordPress job board.

Its core function is to allow users to save job listings they are interested in, similar to a "favorites" or "wishlist" feature.

🔖 Key Features and Benefits

The add-on focuses on two main areas: adding the bookmark capability and providing a management area for saved jobs.

1. Frontend Bookmarking

Easy Saving: It adds a simple "Bookmark" button or link to job listings, often near the "Apply" button or job title.

Persistent Storage: Bookmarked jobs are saved to the user's profile on your site, meaning they persist even if the user logs out and returns later.

AJAX Functionality: Bookmarking is typically done instantly via AJAX, providing a smooth user experience without requiring a page reload.

2. Saved Jobs Dashboard

Dedicated Page: It provides a shortcode, usually [job_bookmarks], which creates a dedicated page (the "Bookmarks Dashboard") where users can view, manage, and un-save all the job listings they have bookmarked.

Quick Access: This page acts as a convenient reference point, allowing job seekers to easily return to the listings they plan to apply for later.

Login Prompt: If a non-logged-in user tries to bookmark a job, they are usually prompted to log in or register, which helps to increase user registration on your site.

3. Management and Integration

Admin View: Administrators can see which users have bookmarked which jobs from the WordPress backend, offering valuable data on job seeker interest.

Email Reminders (Optional): While not a core feature, the bookmark list can be integrated with other plugins to send email reminders about saved jobs or their deadlines.

In essence, the Bookmarks Add-on makes your job board more user-friendly and encourages repeat visits by allowing candidates to curate their own list of top job prospects.
