Resumes

Resume features load only when the WP Job Manager Resumes plugin is active. The addon restyles resume archives and single resume pages, adds resume layout choices, seeds resume taxonomies, and adds candidate social links.

Archive layouts

Section titled “Archive layouts”

Under Reign Options > WP Job Manager > Archive page layout, the Resume Listing Layout option offers List (default), Grid, and Card, mirroring the job archive. Grid and Card add:

  • Resume Listing Grid Layout - Grid Layout Default, One, Two, or Three.
  • Resume Listing Grid Column - Two, Three, or Four columns.

These controls appear only when WP Job Manager Resumes is active.

Single resume layouts

Section titled “Single resume layouts”

Under Reign Options > WP Job Manager > Single page layout, the Single Resume Layout option offers three designs: Resume One (default), Resume Two, and Resume Three.

Extra resume fields

Section titled “Extra resume fields”

The addon adds these checkboxes to the WP Job Manager Resumes Resume Listings settings screen. Each toggles a taxonomy field on the resume submission form. All are enabled by default.

  • Experience
  • Age
  • Current Salary
  • Expected Salary
  • Gender
  • Education Level
  • Language

Resume taxonomies

Section titled “Resume taxonomies”

Seven enhanced taxonomies are registered against the resume post type, alongside the resume skill and resume category taxonomies:

  • resume_experience
  • resume_age
  • resume_current_salary
  • resume_expected_salary
  • resume_gender
  • resume_education_level
  • resume_language
  • resume_skill (used by the skills field)
  • resume_category

As with jobs, predefined terms are seeded once when a resume taxonomy is empty, and existing terms are never overwritten.

Skills with tagging

Section titled “Skills with tagging”

The resume skills field uses a tag-style input backed by the resume_skill taxonomy, so candidates add multiple skills and existing skills are suggested as they type.

Section titled “Candidate social links”

Each resume can carry social profile links. This is documented separately in Candidate social links.

Contact and applications

Section titled “Contact and applications”

A single resume page can show a contact form when WP Job Manager Resumes’ contact-form setting is enabled. When WP Job Manager Applications is active, application display and email behavior is exposed through the reign_wpjm_application_* hooks (see the Developer Guide).

Resume listing shortcode

Section titled “Resume listing shortcode”

The jobmate_resume_listing shortcode renders a grid of resumes on any page. It respects the same browse permissions as WP Job Manager Resumes. See Shortcodes.
