# Setting up WP Job manager

Jobhunt is based on WP Job Manager and it’s add-ons. The free version of WP Job Manager allows for listing jobs and job submissions, If you want to have resumes, application, bookmarks, job alerts and other features you can see on a demo, the best way would be to buy the Core Add-on Bundle

## Job Listings settings

The job listings tab contains the following settings:

- Listings per page – Controls how many job listings should be shown per page when using the [jobs] shortcode
- Filled positions – If checked, filled positions will no longer be visible when using the [jobs] shortcode
- Hide expired listings – If checked, expired job listings are not searchable.
- Hide Expired Listings Content – If checked, the content within expired listings will be hidden.
- Categories – If checked, job categories will be enabled. These are used to group jobs by category and are also visible on the frontend job submission form if enabled.
- Multi-select Categories – If enabled, the category select box will default to a multiselect on the [jobs] shortcode.

## Job Submission settings

The job submission tab shows options regarding the job submission process in WP Job Manager:

- Account required – If left unchecked, non-logged in users will be able to submit job listings without creating an account.
- Account creation – If checked, non-logged in users will be able to create an account by entering their email address on the job submission form. This is optional depending on the settings below.
