7 Best WordPress Job Board Plugins and Themes

by Phill

Are you looking for the best WordPress job board plugin? There are several plugins that you can use to easily create an online job board. This can be a way to publish jobs for your own company or to charge other companies to list their jobs.

In this article, we will go through the best WordPress job board plugins and themes that you can use.

Building a Job Board Website with WordPress

WordPress is currently one of the most popular website builders in the market, powering more than 39% of all websites on the internet. It can be used to build almost any kind of website including a job board website.

There are two types of WordPress websites, which often confuses new users. First, there is WordPress.com, a hosted solution. Second, you have WordPress.org, also called self-hosted WordPress. See our article on WordPress.com vs WordPress.org for a side-by-side comparison.

We strongly recommend using self-hosted WordPress.org. It gives you instant access to all WordPress features and functionality without any restrictions.

To get started, you will need a domain name and website hosting. A domain name is your site’s address on the web, like wpbeginner.com or google.com. Web hosting is the storage for all your website files.

We recommend using Bluehost. They are an officially recommended WordPress hosting provider, and one of the largest web hosting companies in the world.

After you have purchased hosting, follow our step by step guide on how to make a website.

Once you have created your WordPress site, you can install a job board plugin or theme.

Let’s take a look at some of the best WordPress job board plugins and themes that you can use to build a job board website.
