What is WP Job Manager?

WP Job Manager is a lightweight plugin that adds a job-board function to your WordPress website. Since it is based on shortcode, it works with any theme and is very easy to install and setup. 

With WP Job Manager, you can easily put up individual job listings in different formats, a job submission form, and an employer dashboard which certain users can use to look at, edit, and delete their job listings.

An Admin UI

This plugin comes with an admin UI that places jobs in an organized manner, listing job and company information while also providing access to actions, including editing, marking as filled, and deleting. 

Filterable Job Listings

This is a great function for visitors to your website. Your listing will be displayed after each other, but the viewer can use a search and filter form. To instantly find the listing they are looking for. Filters are available for categories, job types, keywords, and locations. Job seekers can also subscribe to get notifications if there are new listings matching their criteria. 

Job Submission

This feature allows employers to list their jobs from the frontend. They will be able to input employers to input job details, with the description and location, along with any details about the company. Each listing will be assigned to a certain email address or website that the seekers can use to apply for the job.  

Employers will also be able to preview a listing before it is available to the public. This will match what it will appear like as a live job listing. After a preview, an employer can choose to submit the post or modify it further. 

Getting Started

If you think that WP Job Manager is a great tool for you, then it is time to install it. This process is very simple and doesn’t require a lot of technical knowledge. 

The Wizard

To help first-timers, WP Job Manager includes a great quick-installation wizard. The wizard is a three-step process, so make sure you do it to the end.

The wizard will automatically add the three pages your job board is going to need. These are:

• Post a Job: A page that lets employers post jobs directly from a page on your website, instead of having them log in to an admin area. You can also uncheck this setting if you prefer an admin login.
• Job Dashboard: A page that lets employers manage their listings directly on your website, instead of an admin area. If you would prefer to manage all job listings from an admin dashboard, you can uncheck this function.
• Jobs: A page where visitors can look through, search, and filter listings.

After this is done, you can go ahead to start creating new job listings and using your site!

Promotion

Due to the ever-changing laws and regulations, as a customer, it can be hard to figure out which restaurants still offer services. No one is going to take the time and research every single restaurant and their specific working hours. But, during a lockdown, everyone is craving delicious food to enjoy. So, they will try to look for a local restaurant directory. Here they will find an organized and searchable list of restaurants offering delivery, carryout, and curbside service. Instead of having to go to a certain location to see if they are still working or calling them, they can easily look up the food they want and find a local business that provides it. Now, as you can picture, this is a good way to promote small businesses, so customers can get their food while supporting restaurants.  

Resources

As a small restaurant business, it could feel overwhelming trying to function in a pandemic environment. But there actually is a significant number of resources out there that could help, ranging from financial assistance to training videos. A restaurant directory could set up a list of available help for small businesses. These would include 

• A full virus resource center with the latest information on how small operators can protect and run their business amid the pandemic challenges
• Free on-demand training videos for restaurant employees to be up-to-speed on hygiene practices and other operational strategies
• Help with creating online sales for more revenue
• Any resources for available financial assistance to those impacted by the current situation including funds, grants, and relief efforts
• An interactive map of the country for users to get more information at specific locations
• Statistics about how the virus is affecting the restaurant industry
• And more similar information to help restaurants

A Platform

A restaurant directory can also form a small community during the COVID situation. This directory can be a platform for restaurants to share tips regarding the pandemic. For example, this could include something like hygiene regulations they have used to maintain a sterile environment. This is good for the community and will help local businesses stay connected by sharing experiences. It can also be used to share updated news and statistics, along with any negative situations that should be avoided.

As you can see, a restaurant directory is a great tool for local business owners to get more customers but also find resources. This pandemic is affecting everyone, and with some cooperation and help from each other, the restaurant industry can be back on its feet in no time.
