Biggest opportunity: Swap “career” and “job listing” for “career portal” and “employer”. “career” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “career portal” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “job listing” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “employer” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

At least 80 of 9.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

What to do about it
- Swap “career” and “job listing” for “career portal” and “employer”. “career” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “career portal” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “job listing” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “employer” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

This plugin is very convenient for making job boards. Multi-functional and easy to use. I’m Japanese and not good at English. But the support staff kindly answered my question.
