Individual Job Pages

When enabled, each job gets its own page on your site with clean, SEO-friendly URLs:

https://yoursite.com/jobs/software-developer-oslo/

How It Works

1. You designate a WordPress page as the “single job” template page
2. The plugin creates rewrite rules to route /{slug}/{job-urn}/ to that page
3. The page uses shortcodes or template functions to display the job details
4. The URL base slug is configurable

When a job expires, visitors hitting the old URL are automatically redirected to a page you configure (e.g., your main jobs listing). This prevents 404 errors and dead links.

Setup

1. Create a new page in WordPress for the individual job post. Add placeholder content like “This is the RecMan job post page” so you can identify it.

2. Go to RecMan > Settings in the WordPress admin.

3. Enable “Show individual job posts on WordPress” in the Individual job post page section.

4. Select the page you created in step 1.

5. Optionally set a custom slug — if the page doesn’t have a parent page or you want a different URL path.

Caution

Do not link directly to the template page. The job post content will only render when visitors access it through the plugin’s URL routing (e.g., /jobs/developer-wanted/).

Display Job Content

Once the page is set up, add content to it using shortcodes or a custom template.

Shortcodes

Add shortcodes to the page to display job fields:

[job_post_field name="title"]
[job_post_field name="body"]
[job_post_field name="workplace"]
[job_post_field name="deadline"]
[job_post_contacts]
[job_post_map]

Custom Page Template

Create a WordPress page template and assign it to the page:

<?php /* Template Name: Individual Job Post Page */
get_header(); ?>

<main>
    <h1><?php the_jobpost('name') ?></h1>
    <?php the_jobpost('body') ?>

    <?php if ($apply = get_jobpost('apply')): ?>
        <a href="<?= $apply ?>">Apply Now</a>
    <?php endif; ?>
</main>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Expired Job Handling

When a job is no longer active:

• The plugin detects the expired state
• Visitors are redirected to a configurable page (e.g., your main job listing)
• No 404 errors or dead links

Configure the redirect target in RecMan Jobs > Settings > Expired page redirect.

Tip

If you display individual job posts, use the isExpired field to check whether the current job has expired. Expired jobs use the same template as active jobs.

SEO Benefits

When individual job pages are enabled, the plugin automatically generates:

• Page title override
• Canonical URL
• Meta description from the job excerpt
• Open Graph tags for social sharing
