JobAdder integration
Integrate JobAdder with WordPress
JobRelay connects JobAdder to WordPress. Choose JobRelay as a destination when you post in JobAdder, and the job appears on your website automatically, with edits and removals following.
Connected and syncing
Your WordPress site
- JobAdder stays the source of truth
- Nothing is posted twice
- Jobs are added, updated and removed for you
The problem
Posting JobAdder jobs to your website by hand doesn’t last
Your jobs already live in JobAdder. Keeping your website in step means doing everything twice, and sooner or later the manual process breaks.
- Jobs are copied and pasted from JobAdder into WordPress
- Filled roles are forgotten and left online
- Out-of-date listings damage candidates’ trust
- Candidates apply for jobs that no longer exist
- Your website becomes the least reliable place to find your jobs
How it works
An automatic bridge between JobAdder and WordPress
- Create your job in JobAdder as usual, with JobRelay selected as a destination.
- JobAdder pushes the job to JobRelay in near real time. There are no scheduled imports.
- JobRelay saves the job on your website as a native WordPress post.
- Edit or remove the job in JobAdder and your website updates automatically.
How it fits into WordPress
Native WordPress jobs, not embeds
Your JobAdder jobs are saved as real WordPress content in your own database. There are no iframes or third-party widgets, so jobs look and behave like the rest of your site.
- Full control over design and layout
- SEO-friendly job pages on your own domain
- Jobs you can filter, search and show anywhere on your site
- Works with RecPress, WP Job Manager, custom post types and bespoke builds
Applications
Every application sent back to JobAdder
Candidates apply on your website using your own form. Your website emails each application directly to the address JobAdder sends with the job, so it lands in JobAdder beside your job board applicants. Prefer JobAdder’s hosted application form? The apply button can link to that instead.
- Candidate data never passes through JobRelay
- Consultants work in one system
- Website and job board applicants side by side
- Use your own form or JobAdder’s hosted form
Benefits
What a JobAdder integration does for your agency
Post once, save hours
Manage jobs in JobAdder and your website updates itself. No copying, pasting or reformatting.
Always up to date
When a role is filled, JobAdder tells JobRelay and the job comes off your website automatically.
More direct applicants
Reach the candidates who apply on your own website, as well as those on the job boards.
Every application in JobAdder
Website applicants end up in JobAdder beside those from the job boards, so nothing slips through.
Jobs search engines can find
Each job is a real page on your own domain, so it builds your website’s authority rather than someone else’s.
Supported for the long term
We maintain the integration as WordPress and JobAdder change, so it keeps working without you thinking about it.
Why JobRelay
Why use JobRelay instead of a custom integration?
JobAdder offers APIs, but a bespoke WordPress integration carries long-term cost and risk.
A custom JobAdder API integration
- Weeks or months of developer time
- Fragile API code you have to maintain
- Can break when WordPress or JobAdder changes
- Often ends up as an iframe or embed
JobRelay
- Live faster, with no custom development
- No API code for you to maintain
- Ongoing support and updates included
- Native WordPress jobs, built for recruitment websites

Customer stories
What our customers say
“The JobRelay integration paid off from the very first month.”
Before JobRelay, there was so much extra effort involved in posting jobs to our own website that we just didn’t do it, leading to an empty jobs page! We’re now seeing candidates returning to the website, helping us to build trust and authority.

JobAdder integration FAQs
Some providers charge a fee to turn on JobRelay as a posting destination. We’ll tell you if JobAdder does before you start.
Each job comes with a set list of fields, plus any custom fields you use in JobAdder. See the full field reference guide.
Fields are mapped on the JobRelay settings page. Some map automatically, and the rest can be mapped to custom fields (post meta) or taxonomy terms. We do this for you during setup.
JobAdder pushes them. When you publish, update or remove a job with JobRelay selected, it’s sent automatically in near real time, with no scheduled imports.
JobAdder sends a delete command to JobRelay, which removes the job from your WordPress site.
Jobs are native WordPress posts, so they use your theme’s design. You control how they look, and they can be filtered, searched and styled like any other content.
You need a WordPress job board plugin or a custom post type for jobs. If you have neither, we can provide RecPress as part of your setup.
No. Field mappings can be set up to match your existing structure, and we can talk through any specific requirements during setup.
No. We handle installation, field mapping and coordination with JobAdder’s integration team.
Yes, as long as the staging site meets the technical requirements, including HTTPS. When you go live, the site address needs updating in both JobRelay and JobAdder.
No. Applications go directly from your website to JobAdder, so candidates’ personal data never passes through JobRelay.
