Job Postings

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 69% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   This plugin blatantly lies about WCAG 2.2 accessibility. Also, the author does not answer any support threads, and there are numerous functions within the plugin that do not work as advertised (like the fact that it says you can set headings on things, there is an option for it but it does NOTHING).

   The plugin works very well, but isn’t supported by the developer, hence the 2 stars. There are help topics going back a year now, which appears to be when the developer stopped responding. Last (very minor) update was 3 months ago. As it stands the plugin continues to do what I require of it and the errors are manageable, but I suspect that won’t last, sadly. If the support situation changes I may revise the review in the future, but I fear we’ll be looking for a new option quite soon.

   The plugin is powerfull, but there’s no option to customize form fields per application. If i’m create a new field, then, this is displayed in all jobs applications.

   Although with little hope, I have left a question that many before have asked without receiving an answer. If they respond, I will change my rating. If you take a look at the forum, you’ll see they never respond, and people end up deleting it because they don’t even bother to reply. Very bad image for the company behind it.
