WP Job Manager Job Alerts Add-on 3.2.0

That's a popular premium extension for the WP Job Manager plugin, which is a free, core job board plugin for WordPress.

The WP Job Manager Job Alerts Add-on allows job seekers to save their preferred job search criteria and receive automated email notifications when a new job matching their criteria is posted.

🔔 Key Features of the Add-on

Customizable Job Alerts: Users can create an alert based on a search they perform using keywords, location, job categories, and job types. If you use the Job Tags add-on, they can also filter by tags.

Email Delivery: The system sends out emails containing the new job listings that match the saved alert.

Flexible Scheduling: Users can choose how often they want to receive the alert emails:

Daily

Weekly

Fortnightly (Every two weeks)

Monthly

User Management Page: A dedicated page (created with the [job_alerts] shortcode) allows logged-in users to add, preview, enable, disable, edit, or delete their saved email alerts.

Accountless Alerts: Recent versions allow visitors to create alerts using just their email, without needing a full registered account, streamlining the process for job seekers.

Customization: Site administrators can customize the content of the job alert emails, set an expiry duration for alerts, and enable/disable features like requiring an account.

🛠️ How it Works for the User

A user performs a search on the job board (e.g., "Web Developer" in "New York").

An "Add Alert" button or link appears on the job listings page.

The user clicks it, and the search parameters are saved.

The user sets the frequency (daily, weekly, etc.).

The system uses the WordPress cron to check for new jobs matching the alert criteria and sends an email at the selected interval.

It's a crucial tool for any serious job board, as it helps re-engage users and ensures they don't miss relevant opportunities, driving consistent traffic back to your site.
