Quick Job Form (single-page)
The Quick Job Form is a one-screen alternative to the multi-step job-form wizard. Drop it into any sidebar, modal, partner page, or page builder. Captures the core fields an employer needs to publish in one submit - no tab switching, no wizard navigation.
Sibling of the full Post a Job form (the 4-step
wizard) - both share the same custom-field hook and persistence
layer, so anything you add via wcb_job_form_fields appears on
both surfaces.
When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”- Embed in a sidebar widget so partners can post a job from any page on your site without navigating to the dashboard.
- Drop into a modal triggered from a “Post a job” CTA on a marketing page.
- Embed on a partner page on your own site so a logged-in employer can post without first navigating to the dashboard.
- Onboarding flows where you want to capture the first job inline during account creation, not after.
The submitter must be logged in as a user with the Employer role (the same gate as the dashboard wizard).

What happens on submit
Section titled “What happens on submit”The form posts to the same REST endpoint as the multi-step form
(POST /wcb/v1/jobs), so:
- Moderation rules apply identically (jobs land in
pendingif moderation is enabled). - Featured-status, board assignments, and credit deduction flow through the standard pipeline.
- BuddyPress activity-stream entries fire on approval (Pro).
- Email notifications fire to whoever the site config dictates (admin moderator / employer-confirmation / etc.).
Limitations
Section titled “Limitations”- Single-screen UX means there’s no preview step before publish. Employers can still edit immediately afterward via the dashboard.
- Multi-image uploads (company logos, banner art) are not part of this form - those still happen via the company profile editor.
