of downloads still active
At least 1K of 30.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “job board plugin”, “applications” and “career” (#4, #5 and #5 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

The dev responded fast and helped to “customize” the form to our needs

This is probably the best job manager wp plugin. Very easy to use, very beautiful and fully functional plugin. Thanks a lot to the developper.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ davood19751.7y ago
Job Board is by far the best plugin I’ve tried for posting and managing job offers on my website. It’s easy to use, intuitive, and comes with a modern design that blends perfectly with my WordPress site. Customization is simple yet powerful, and the overall look is highly professional. A fantastic tool for any business or recruitment agency! I highly recommend it. 👌🔥

Die Investition in dieses Plugin hat sich absolut gelohnt. Der Support ist schnell, effizient und lösungsbringend!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ samanthastudio992.2y ago
The support alone is worth the plugin. You don’t see a lot of these plugins offering chat support, especially when a lot of the features are free! The customizations that are EASY to edit in the backend is what makes this plugin stand out from the rest. I wish I found this earlier, so I didn’t waste as much time with a different one.
