## Description

Qadwilliam Jobs & Apply is the complete hiring platform for WordPress. Publish job
openings, collect applications with CV uploads and custom screening questions, and
manage every applicant from a dedicated admin dashboard — without relying on third-
party job boards or external mail plugins.

**For site owners**

 * Create and manage job listings with location, type, salary, and application deadlines(
   date and time).
 * Organize positions with the Departments taxonomy.
 * Review applications in one place: filter by job or status, download CVs, and 
   update applicant status.
 * Send automatic HTML email notifications to admins and applicants, including status
   updates (pending, reviewing, interview, hired, rejected).
 * Configure your own SMTP settings inside the plugin — no WP Mail SMTP or similar
   plugin required.

**For applicants**

 * Browse open positions on a careers page (auto-created on activation).
 * View job details and apply with a responsive application form.
 * Upload a CV (PDF, DOC, or DOCX), optional or required portfolio link, cover letter,
   and job-specific screening questions.
 * Receive a confirmation email when an application is submitted.

**Shortcodes**

 * `[qwja_listings]` — displays all open job listings (optional `department="slug"`
   filter).
 * `[qwja_apply]` — displays the application form on a job page or with `job_id="
   123"`.

**Built-in safeguards**

 * Server-side validation for required fields, CV uploads, screening answers, and
   portfolio URLs.
 * Application deadlines enforced on listings, job pages, and submissions.
 * Duplicate applications blocked (same email + job within 24 hours).
 * Secure CV storage outside the media library with protected upload directory.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `qadwilliam-jobs-apply` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install
    through the WordPress Plugins screen.
 2. Activate **Qadwilliam Jobs & Apply** through the **Plugins** menu.
 3. Go to **Settings  Permalinks** and click **Save Changes** once (registers job URLs).
 4. Open **Qadwilliam Jobs & Apply  Settings** and:
 5.  * Set the admin notification email.
     * Enable SMTP and enter your mail server details.
     * Save, then use **Send test email** to confirm delivery.
 6. Visit **Qadwilliam Jobs & Apply  Job Listings** (or **Add New Job**) to publish
    your first position.
 7. A **Careers** page with `[qwja_listings]` is created automatically on activation.
    Add `[qwja_apply]` to job content or rely on the plugin’s single-job template.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin require WP Mail SMTP or another mail plugin?

No. Qadwilliam Jobs & Apply includes its own SMTP configuration under **Qadwilliam
Jobs & Apply  Settings**. All application-related emails are sent through the plugin’s
mailer. Other WordPress emails are unaffected.

### Where are uploaded CVs stored?

Files are saved in `wp-content/uploads/qadwilliam-jobs-apply/`. Direct web access
is blocked via `.htaccess` and an empty `index.html`. Admins download CVs through
the dashboard only.

### Can I use my theme’s design for the careers page?

Yes. The plugin works with any theme. Use the shortcodes on any page, or add `single-
qwja_job.php` in your theme to override the default job detail layout. If your theme
does not provide that template, the plugin supplies one automatically.

### What happens when an application deadline passes?

The job is removed from `[qwja_listings]`, the apply form is replaced with a closed
message, and new submissions are rejected on the server.

### Can applicants apply to the same job more than once?

Not within 24 hours using the same email address for the same job. After that window,
another application is allowed.

### What application statuses are available?

Pending, Reviewing, Interview, Hired, and Rejected. Changing status in the admin
dashboard can email the applicant (with a confirmation prompt).

### Is data removed when I uninstall the plugin?

Uninstalling deletes custom database tables, job posts, department terms, and plugin
options. Uploaded CV files in `wp-content/uploads/qadwilliam-jobs-apply/` are **
not** deleted automatically so you can retain records if needed; remove that folder
manually for a full purge.
