This article provides a brief step by step explanation on how to create vacancies in the Jobs module in WordPress. Why use the jobs module? It has two main advantages:
- Manage all your vacancies in one single overview.
- Automatic integration with Google Jobs.
Step 1: Add new job
Go to the backend of WordPress. Click on the menu item “Jobs” and click on “Add New“.
After clicking “Add New” a new page should load to create the job. Give the Job a title, e.g.:
If you scroll down on this screen you’ll see the following fields:
You can save the page as Draft.
Step 2: Add preview information for the overview page
All jobs come together in one overview page. But of course the overview page cannot show all content for all jobs. That’s why each job has preview information which can look like this:
If you have filled in all the fields from the steps above, you can save the job as draft and click on Edit with Elementor.
Step 3: Create the job single page with Elementor
After completing step 1 and 2, the job is ready for the Google Jobs integration and the overview page. But the job itself also needs a page for more detailed information. If you click on edit with Elementor (make sure to have saved the job as draft before editing with Elementor, otherwise the information from step 1 and 2 could be lost), the Elementor editor should open and now you can create the subpage for the job any way you want. If you have no experience with editing with Elementor have a look at this article.
Step 4: Publish and Translate
Alright! When you have finished step 1,2, and 3 you can publish the page and that’s it!
If your website has multiple languages don’t forget to translate. You can translate the jobs in the same way as you translate other pages. If you have no experience with translating pages please have a look this article.
