WP Job Manager Application Deadline Addon 1.2.8
Wordpress Plugins WP Job Manager 4.8 (4.8K reviews)
Running a job board means keeping track of which postings are still open and which have quietly passed their relevance. WP Job Manager already handles listings well, but without a deadline tool, you're left to check and remove old posts yourself. This addon, built by the same team responsible for WP Job Manager itself, solves that with a simple addition. It introduces a closing date field to the job submission form. When someone submits a job, they enter the date and time the position should stop accepting applications. That date becomes part of the listing immediately. Visitors can see it without digging into the backend, and you avoid the awkward situation of a job staying visible months after the position has been filled. The field fits naturally into the existing submission flow, so your current routine doesn't need to change. Your contributors won't need a tutorial to figure it out. It's a small, focused change that removes a lot of manual upkeep.

The addon gives you two practical options once a closing date is set. Jobs can be made to expire automatically when that date passes, meaning the system takes the posting offline without you having to remember to do it. That is a huge relief for sites with many active listings, especially when outside recruiters fail to close their postings. You can also sort job listings by closing date. Present openings that are about to expire near the top, or simply control the order in which postings appear. Both settings are toggles, so you can use one, the other, or both. Automatic expiration handles the cleanup on its own, while sorting makes the board feel current and ensures that anything expiring soon isn't buried. Everything you set flows from the single closing date field on the submission form, so there is no extra configuration beyond choosing which behaviors you want.
Using the addon is simple. You install it like any other WordPress plugin and it extends what WP Job Manager already does. The closing date field shows up right where you'd expect it on the job submission form, so the person creating a listing can enter the deadline without any extra steps. Once saved, that date appears on the listing itself. Recruiters and hiring managers will know the moment they set the job up, and applicants won't be left guessing whether the role is still open. For the person running the site, the options live in the existing job listing settings. You flip the switch to enable auto-expiration, or turn on sorting by closing date, and the addon takes it from there. There is no separate dashboard to learn, and the field accepts standard date and time input, so there's no unusual format to remember. It works quietly in the background, doing only what you ask of it.
The package you receive is the exact distribution file from the developer, delivered as a zip for standard WordPress installation. Nothing has been repacked or altered, so you know exactly what is going onto your site. Upload the zip, activate the addon, and open your job listing settings. You will need WP Job Manager installed first, because this addon builds directly on its forms and listing screens. Without that base plugin, nothing happens; with it, the closing date field appears in the submission form without any extra setup. The expiry and sorting behaviors are controlled from the same place, so you won't be hunting for hidden menus. All of this fits into the normal workflow of a WordPress site, and the addon remains active as long as you leave it enabled. If you manage a job board and have been doing deadline checks by hand, this is the piece that closes that gap.
