Trades & construction
A board where builders, contractors and trade firms post site jobs with the rate on the advert.
- Employers post jobs from their own account
- Candidates upload a resume and apply
- Jobs come down on their own when they expire
What is it?
Your own job board
A multilingual WordPress job board theme with listings, employer accounts, online applications, resume uploads and paid job packages built in. There is no job-board plugin or add-on stack. Pick an industry design, import the demo vacancies, and your board looks in business from day one.
Make money
Get paid to post jobs
You're the platform owner, so the revenue is yours. Charge employers to post jobs with single posts, bundles or monthly plans.
Sell featured, urgent and spotlight upgrades, and charge for resume-database access and advertising. No middleman takes a cut.
Job Listings & Company Pages
Every vacancy leads with the role, not a stock photo. Who's hiring, what it pays and where are pinned in a sidebar card with the other facts a candidate decides on, instead of buried under a thousand-word write-up.
- Salary with its pay period
- Employment type & location
- Company profile pages
Employer Accounts & Job Posting
Employers register, buy a job package and post their own vacancies from a self-service dashboard. You approve or auto-publish, and never touch a listing yourself.
- Self-service employer posting
- Approve or auto-publish
- Edit & re-post anytime
Paid Job Packages & Pricing Tables
Charge employers to post with single listings, bundles or monthly subscriptions. Set your own prices and durations, and the theme handles credits, renewals and receipts.
- Single, bundle & subscription
- You set prices & durations
- Automatic renewals
Elementor-Ready Job Board Templates
Elementor-friendly: Easily customize and design your job board pages using the free Elementor plugin.
Job listings, search heroes and employer panels are Elementor blocks, so you arrange your board visually with no code.

Explore Our ThemesFeatured, Urgent & Spotlight Upgrades
Let employers pay for featured listings, urgent-hiring badges and homepage spotlights. It is extra revenue on top of every job package, all controlled from the admin.
- Featured & urgent badges
- Homepage spotlight slots
- Priced by you
Google for Jobs, Built In
Most candidates never reach your search box. They search Google. Every vacancy publishes Google's JobPosting structured data automatically, so your roles are eligible for the Google Jobs box the day you launch.
- JobPosting schema on every role
- Salary, type & closing date included
- Nothing invented when a field is blank
Applications & Employer Workflow
Candidates apply in a click and employers move every applicant through new, shortlisted, interview and hired. Each application carries its own pitch, written for that job, and a frozen copy of the CV. What the employer reads is what was actually sent.
- Written per application
- CV snapshot, never a live link
- Shortlist without paying to view
Interview Scheduling on the Application
The employer offers a few times, the candidate picks one, and both sides get the confirmation. It is booked against the application itself, so nothing about an interview ever appears on the public advert.
- Employer proposes, candidate picks
- Confirmations by email
- Private to the pair
Candidate Profiles Employers Can Search
A PDF can't be filtered. Candidates also build a structured profile with headline, skills, experience, location and what they're looking for. A full-page builder takes a stranger from nothing to applying.
- Skills as real, searchable tags
- Step-by-step profile builder
- Candidate controls visibility
Resume Database & CV Uploads
There are two gates, not one. Employers with database access can search the profiles that opted in, and opening the actual CV is a separate step you charge for. That split is what makes recruiter access a product you can sell twice.
- Opt-in database only
- Open a CV as a paid step
- Sell recruiter access
Real Filters for Salary, Type & Distance
Employment type and category are proper taxonomies, so a "Full-time" filter returns full-time jobs rather than anything that happens to say the words. Salary filters by band, and candidates set how far they'll travel from their postcode.
- Counted category facets
- Salary bands & pay periods
- Distance from a postcode
Job Alerts That Bring Candidates Back
A saved search isn't much use if somebody has to remember to run it. Saved searches now email their owner when something new matches. Each candidate gets one digest, with only what's appeared since they were last told.
- Saved searches email back
- One digest, not one per search
- Only what's new
Employer Branding & Company Profiles
Employers get a real company page with logo, cover image, website and social links, and every open role underneath. That logo follows the job everywhere, including onto the map, where a jobs board should never pin a stock photo.
- Logo, cover & social links
- All open roles in one place
- Logo pins on the map
Members Area for Employers & Candidates
The sign-up question asks if they are hiring or job hunting, and that decides which board they get. Employers track posts, credits and applicants. Candidates track applications, saved jobs and alerts. Email or SMS verification on sign-up.
- Split employer & candidate portals
- Saved jobs, applications & alerts
- Email & SMS verification
AI Site Builder
Describe your job board niche and let AI set up the site for you, with pages, categories, demo listings and a matching design. You can edit all of it afterwards.
- Describe your niche
- Pages & demo content generated
- Edit everything after
Checkout & 30+ Payment Gateways
Stripe, PayPal and a long list of regional gateways install free, and the theme itself handles currencies and tax settings.
- 30+ free gateways
- Multi-currency options
- Tax settings built in
Revenue Stats & Admin Dashboard
A clean admin for everything. Jobs, employers and applicants sit on one side and package sales and revenue stats on the other, so you always know what your board is earning.
- Package sales & revenue stats
- Manage jobs, employers & users
- 300+ admin options
Candidates, Applications & an Audit Trail
One admin screen for the people on your board. It shows who has uploaded a CV, every application across every employer, and a log of each resume opened and each paid candidate view, so "who looked at my CV?" always has an answer. Export any of it to CSV.
- Every candidate & application
- Privacy activity log
- CSV exports
Responsive & Mobile-Friendly
Most job searches happen on a phone, so browsing, applying, CV uploads and the employer dashboard are all built to work perfectly on any screen size.
- Works on any screen size
- Touch-friendly job search
- Mobile applications & uploads

Questions
WordPress Job Board Theme FAQ
The questions we hear most before people buy. Still unsure? Our support team is happy to help.
How do I build a job board website with WordPress?
Install the WordPress Job Board Theme, import the demo board and add your job categories. Then open employer registration and let companies post vacancies themselves. Applications, paid job packages and search are all in the theme, and no coding is involved.
Can I build a site like Indeed?
Yes. The theme is built around the Indeed model. You get searchable vacancy listings, employer accounts that post and manage jobs, candidates applying directly, and revenue from paid and featured job packages.
Can employers post jobs and receive applications?
Yes. Employers register, post job listings and receive applications directly, while candidates search and apply. Paid job packages are available too.
Does the job board theme work with Elementor?
Yes. The board's pages, from job listings to employer profiles and landing pages, are built from 150+ Elementor blocks you edit visually in the free plugin.
Will my site look like the job board demo out of the box?
Yes. Import the demo and your board arrives populated with sample vacancies, categories and search pages matching the live preview. They're ready to swap for real jobs.
Do I need coding skills to run a job board website?
No. Approving employers, managing listings and setting package prices all happen in the admin area. Elementor handles design and video tutorials cover setup.
Will my job board website work on mobile phones?
Yes. Job hunting happens on phones during commutes, so search, listings and application forms work from the smallest screen up.
Can I launch more than one job board website with a single licence?
Yes. Run a tech-jobs board, a local-jobs board and a remote-work board side by side. The User License covers unlimited boards you own, and the Developer License handles client builds.
Is there a free or nulled version of the WordPress Job Board Theme?
No. A job board holds CVs and applicant data, which is exactly what malware buried in nulled themes goes after. The genuine licence is a one-time purchase with 6 months of updates and support and a 14-day money-back guarantee.
What's the refund policy on the WordPress Job Board Theme?
A 14-day money-back guarantee applies to every order. That's time enough to import the demo board, post test vacancies and try the employer flow before deciding it's a keeper.
How often is the job board theme updated?
Updates land regularly for WordPress compatibility and new features, and your purchase includes 6 months of them plus support. Extending later is a $49-per-6-months option, not an obligation.
Are there any hidden costs to run a job board website?
No. Employer accounts, applications, paid packages and payments are in the theme, and the plugins it uses, like Elementor, are free. Hosting and a domain are the only bills. Extended support after 6 months is optional.
