What Gets Created on Activation

When you activate the plugin for the first time, WP Career Board automatically:

• Creates five custom post types: Jobs, Companies, Applications, Resumes, and Boards
• Registers five job taxonomies: Category, Job Type, Location, Experience Level, and Tag
• Creates three user roles: Employer, Candidate, and Job Moderator
• Adds the Career Board top-level menu to wp-admin (with Jobs, Applications, Candidates, Companies, Employers, and Settings)
• Launches the Setup Wizard to help you create your pages

After Activation

You will be redirected to the Setup Wizard. The wizard creates all required pages with the correct blocks in about 30 seconds. See Setup Wizard for the full walkthrough.

If you dismiss the wizard, you can run it again any time from Career Board → Settings → Run Setup Wizard (the button in the page header).
