FAQ
Common questions.
Is WP Job Manager + Reign better than Jobify or Listify?
WP Job Manager has the largest install base + cleanest data model. Jobify + Listify are pre-built themes — different trade-off (less flexibility, more out-of-box polish).
How do I onboard the first 10 employers?
Manual outreach for week 1. List 50 sample jobs yourself (scraped from public sources with permission) so the board feels active. Approach 10 employers personally. Reach 100 listings before public launch.
