Alerts are intent. Visualize them.
WP Job Manager Job Alerts registers a job_alert custom post type for every saved search a logged-in user creates. Each alert stores search_keywords, search_location, search_categories, search_job_types and an alert_frequency (daily, weekly, fortnightly) in postmeta. The admin lets you list them per user. It does not let you see what your candidates are collectively waiting for.
SleekView reads wp_posts rows where post_type = 'job_alert', joined to wp_postmeta for the search criteria, plus the linked job_listing_category and job_listing_type taxonomies referenced by the alert. Group by search_keywords for top demanded queries, by search_location for geographic intent, by search_categories for category demand, or by alert_frequency to see how patient your audience is.
A regional board with 4,100 active alerts found that 22 percent of all alerts referenced the same three keyword phrases. Those phrases had thin job inventory. Within a month they had reached out to two specific employer types to fill that gap. The data was always in the job_alert CPT. They had just never looked at it in aggregate.

Comparison
Default Job Alerts admin vs SleekView Charts
Default Job Alerts admin
- No site-wide view of what keywords candidates are alerting on
- Location demand by region is never surfaced even though search_location stores it
- Frequency mix (daily vs weekly vs fortnightly) is not visible anywhere
- Daily alert-creation velocity requires SQL or CSV export
- Per-category demand is hidden behind one alert at a time
SleekView Charts
-
Reads the
job_alertCPT and search_* postmeta directly, no extra setup - Top keyword bars with optional stop-word filtering for clean results
- Frequency donut (daily/weekly/fortnightly) sourced from alert_frequency
- Geographic demand grouped by search_location postmeta
- Per-day creation trend grouped by post_date for campaign attribution
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for WP Job Manager Job Alerts
See real candidate intent
Alerts are higher-intent than pageviews and even bookmarks: candidates volunteered their email and waited for results. Aggregating those queries reveals which roles and locations have unmet demand on your board.
Frequency segmentation
Split alerts into daily, weekly and fortnightly cohorts using the alert_frequency postmeta. Daily-frequency users are your most actively job-seeking audience and the right cohort for premium employer matchmaking emails.
Geographic demand maps
Group by search_location to see which cities and regions candidates are alerting on. Compare against where employers are posting jobs to spot geographic supply/demand mismatches before they cost you signups.
Audience
Where Job Alerts dashboards drive decisions
Board operators
Top alert keywords tell you which employer verticals to recruit next. If 800 candidates are alerting on 'remote react developer' and you have 12 such jobs, that gap is your next sales target.
Marketing teams
Alert creation velocity is the cleanest signup conversion metric. Attribute it to campaigns, newsletters and partner placements to see which channels grow your owned candidate audience.
Outbound to employers
When pitching an employer, lead with 'we have 412 candidates currently alerting on roles like yours in your city'. That is a real audience number sourced from the job_alert CPT, not a guess.
The bigger picture
Why alert data is gold
Alerts are the highest-intent signal on a job board. A candidate has logged in, expressed a precise search, and opted in to ongoing emails. WP Job Manager Job Alerts captures all of that in the job_alert custom post type and its postmeta but offers no aggregate view, so most operators never look at the data they spent acquisition dollars to collect.
SleekView Charts turns those rows into a true demand-side dashboard: which keywords candidates are actively waiting for, which locations have unmet demand, how frequency mix shifts as your audience matures, and how alert creation velocity responds to your marketing. That intelligence reshapes every important decision on a job board, from employer outreach to editorial calendar to email cadence. Alerts already exist in your database.
SleekView Charts simply makes them visible at the scale they matter at.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for WP Job Manager Job Alerts
Job Alerts registers a job_alert custom post type. Each saved search is a post, with the search criteria in postmeta keys like search_keywords, search_location, search_categories, search_job_types and alert_frequency. SleekView reads all of these directly from wp_posts and wp_postmeta.
 Yes. Group job_alert rows by search_keywords to get a ranked list of the most-requested phrases. Stop-word filtering and minimum-occurrence thresholds keep the chart readable when raw queries are long or noisy.
 alert_frequency stores one of daily, weekly or fortnightly per alert. SleekView groups on that meta to produce a donut chart, which makes it trivial to see what share of your audience is in active job-seeking mode vs passive watching.
 Yes. Aggregate by post_author with Count Distinct to get the unique candidate count, since some users create multiple alerts. The default chart shows total alerts; switch to unique authors for a cleaner audience-size number.
 No. The chart is a bar or pie of the search_location strings users entered. If you also use GEO my WP or another geocoder to add lat/lng meta, SleekView can layer that, but it is not required for a useful demand-by-location chart.
 Aggregation queries on indexed postmeta and post_date stay fast at that scale. Cached chart results render in well under 500ms once warm, and the cache is invalidated automatically as new alerts come in.
 Yes. Every chart supports a date filter on post_date so you can compare last quarter's keyword distribution to this quarter's, or look at alerts created during a specific campaign window.
 No, charts render inside wp-admin behind capability checks by default. You can expose specific charts publicly (e.g. a 'most-searched roles' widget) but PII and individual queries are never exposed in aggregate views.
