Find Resumes
Pro feature - Requires WP Career Board Pro.
The Find Resumes block displays a public-facing archive of candidate resumes. Employers and admins can browse candidate profiles filtered by skills, location, and job title - without waiting for candidates to apply.
How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”Candidates build their resumes using the Resume Builder. When a candidate sets a resume to Public, it appears in the Find Resumes archive. Resumes set to Private are never shown here.
Employers can browse the archive, filter by skills and location, and click through to a full resume page.
Adding Find Resumes to a Page
Section titled “Adding Find Resumes to a Page”- Create a new page (e.g., “Find Candidates” or “Resume Database”)
- In the WordPress editor, add the Find Resumes block
- Publish the page
No settings configuration is required - the block renders all public resumes automatically.
Filtering
Section titled “Filtering”Visitors can filter resumes by:
- Skills - matches against the Skills section of each resume
- Location - matches against the candidate’s listed location
- Job Title - keyword match against the candidate’s most recent job title
Filters update the list without a page reload.
Candidate Privacy
Section titled “Candidate Privacy”Candidates control their resume visibility:
- Private (default) - visible only to employers who receive an application from that candidate
- Public - visible in the Find Resumes archive
Candidates can change visibility at any time from the Resume Builder or their dashboard.
Linking to Resume Single Page
Section titled “Linking to Resume Single Page”When a visitor clicks a resume in the archive, they are taken to the Resume Single page - a full formatted view of that candidate’s resume. The Resume Single block handles this display.
To enable this:
- Create a page with the Resume Single block
- Assign it in WP Career Board → Settings → Pages → Resume Page
