Description

Integrates a simple system to list job openings, display them on a sleek and organized page, and accept applications via pre-formatted email messages.

Uses the short code [WPEM] to render the job listings with the proper tags defined in the settings panel. Uses the short code [EMAPPLY] to render the job application form for the selected job opening.
