WordPress plugin

Fill a WordPress job board automatically from Jobo’s live job index, with incremental sync and self-closing listings.

Jobo Jobs keeps a WordPress job board stocked without anyone posting a job by hand. It pulls listings from Jobo’s index — sourced directly from employer career sites and 100+ applicant tracking systems — and keeps them current on a schedule.

Works with WP Job Manager out of the box, writing the same fields your theme already renders. No WP Job Manager? The plugin ships its own job post type, so it works on any site.

Install

1. Install and activate

   Search for Jobo Jobs in Plugins → Add New, then activate it.

2. Add your API key

   Go to Settings → Jobo Jobs and paste your key. Create one if you don’t have one yet — the $5 free starting balance is enough to try it out.

3. Choose what to import

   Set locations, sources, and filters, or leave them blank to import everything. See Filters below.

4. Sync

   Click Sync now, or wait for the first scheduled run.

Filters

All filters live under Which jobs to import. Leave everything blank to import the whole index — narrowing keeps your board relevant and usage predictable. Imported jobs use your included jobs first; Jobs Feed makes Feed imports unlimited.

Field	Behaviour
Locations	One per line. Accepts "Country", "Region, Country", or "City, Region, Country". Start typing and pick from the suggestions — the field resolves what you type against Jobo’s geocoder, so you don’t have to guess the exact spelling or format.
Sources	Which ATS platforms to import from (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and 100+ others). Start typing to see matching sources suggested live from the current index, or leave blank for all.
Work model	Checkboxes: remote, hybrid, onsite.
Employment type	Checkboxes: full-time, part-time, contract, internship, freelance, temporary.
Experience level	Checkboxes: intern, entry, mid, senior, lead, executive.

If JavaScript is disabled, the plain text fields still submit correctly — the suggestion pickers are a convenience layer on top of them, not a requirement.

The plugin also has two settings that shape how a sync runs rather than what it imports:

• Jobs per request and Requests per run multiply into the most jobs a single run will import, so a run never exhausts PHP’s execution time limit. The cursor is saved between runs, so a bounded run always resumes exactly where it left off — nothing is skipped.
• When a job closes: draft it, trash it, or leave it published. Checking for closed jobs never costs credits, regardless of which you choose.

Cost

Jobs delivered through the plugin bill like Search: at the pay-as-you-go rate of $3.00 per 1,000 jobs. A Job Search plan draws them from its included jobs first, then the pay-as-you-go rate applies. Jobs Feed makes the plugin’s Feed imports unlimited. Checking for closed jobs is always free. The settings screen shows both your included jobs and wallet state after a sync.

See Cost model for how this fits into the wider billing picture, and Billing and metering for the full mechanics.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
Nothing imports, and the admin shows a payment error	The balance check prices the whole requested batch before the request runs, so it can fail even when your balance looks non-zero. Top up, or lower Jobs per request.
The sync stops part-way through a large import	Expected. Each run is bounded by Jobs per request × Requests per run and a time budget. The cursor is saved, so the next run resumes exactly where it stopped — nothing is lost or duplicated.
Imported jobs have no job type	WP Job Manager only registers the job type taxonomy when job types are enabled in its own settings. Turn them on and re-sync. A type with no matching term (Contract, for instance, isn’t a WP Job Manager default) is created rather than dropped.
A job was filled but is still showing	Expiry runs on the same schedule as import. Check When a job closes — leaving it published is a deliberate option, not the default, so confirm you picked draft or trash if you want closed roles to disappear.
A location or source doesn’t show up in the suggestions	The suggestion list reflects what’s currently in the index — a very new or very small ATS source may not have enough live jobs to appear yet. You can still type it in exactly and it will match if it’s a real value; an unrecognised value simply imports nothing, silently.

FAQ

Do I need WP Job Manager?

No. If WP Job Manager is active, the plugin writes to it, so your existing theme and shortcodes work unchanged. If it isn’t, the plugin registers its own Jobs post type.

Will this duplicate listings?

No. Every listing is matched on its Jobo job ID, so repeated syncs — even a full resync — update in place rather than duplicating.

Where do the jobs come from?

Jobo’s index, sourced directly from employer career sites and 100+ applicant tracking systems including Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, and BambooHR. See Sources for the full platform list.
