## Description

*This plugin is no longer being developed or maintained. We recommend [JobRelay](https://jobrelay.io)
for integrating WordPress with Broadbean.

The WP Broadbean plugin provides **developers** with a scaffolding to integrate 
Broadbean with a WordPress website. The plugin is not a plug-and-play solution but
offers the tools needed to get started integrating a WordPress website with Broadbean.

Once successfully integrated jobs written in Broadbean appear in WordPress and applications
to jobs on WordPress are tracked back to Broadbean.

### Who is this plugin for

The WP Broadbean plugin is primarily for developers of recruitment websites or people
who are happy to tinker with code looking to integrate WordPress with Broadbean.

If you’re uncomfortable with code or want a ‘done for you’ solution we have 3 options
for you.

### What the plugin does

 1. Creates a new jobs post type
 2. Creates taxonomies for the jobs post type
 3. Allows each job to store key meta data such as reference, salary etc.
 4. Creates a job application which gets sent back to Broadbean when a candidate applies
    for a job

### This plugin **does not**

 1. Expire the jobs or remove them from your WordPress site
 2. Provide a comprehensive job search to your site

From the reviews I can see that it’s been a while since this plugin has been around.
I used it with a client to integrate BroadBean and the job posting into an existing
WP site – very easy to configure and to get what you need, setup is a breeze, kudos
to the devs for writing code that withstands the test of time (tested with WP 5.3.2).

Great plugin for integrating Broadbean with a website. Was easy to set up and it
works really well. Will be recommending this plugin to anyone looking to integrate
Broadbean with their website. Quick responses from the developer too is also a massive
bonus!
