SleekView Charts for WP Job Manager
WP Job Manager already records every listing, application, and resume as a post with status, expiry, and source meta. SleekView Charts pivots that data into a job-board reporting dashboard with KPI tiles, status donuts, and time-series cards.

Job board health, as one dashboard
The three WP Job Manager post types (job_listing, job_application, resume) carry every number a job board operator cares about. Listings have _filled, _featured, _job_expires, and a status. Applications link to a listing via _job_id and arrive with a timestamp. Resumes carry _candidate_location and submission date. Each row is a data point waiting to be counted.
SleekView Charts reads those tables the same way SleekView tables do and turns the rows into chart cards. A Number card surfaces total open listings. A Pie card shows the listing status mix (open, filled, expired). A Bar card breaks applications down by listing category. An Area card plots applications received per week so trends in candidate volume show up before the hiring manager notices the queue is empty.
The dashboard runs against live WordPress data, not an exported CSV. Every chart refreshes on save, so a moderator marking a listing as filled or featured immediately changes the fill-rate KPI and the status donut. Saved dashboards per role (operator, employer, moderator) replace the per-screen click loop that the default admin forces on anyone reporting on a job board.
Workflow
From postmeta to a job-board dashboard
Connect the WP Job Manager post types
job_listing, job_application, and resume. Postmeta keys like _filled, _featured, _job_expires, and _job_id become first-class columns ready for aggregation.
Pick the KPI you measure
Add status and category breakdowns
job_listing_category, job_listing_type) and postmeta values directly.
Plot the time-series
post_date for listings. The series shows weekly hiring rhythm: the slow drop after a posting expires, the spike after a featured push, the long tail of resumes.

Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for WP Job Manager
Real KPIs from postmeta
Number cards pull from _filled, _featured, and _job_expires with proper aggregations. The open-listings count, fill rate, and applications-this-week tiles match the numbers the operator already keeps in their head.
Status and source breakdowns
Pie cards for filled versus open, expired versus active. Bar cards for applications by category, company, or job type. Each chart groups directly on the postmeta or taxonomy term, no intermediate report table required.
Trends that explain the queue
Area and Line cards plot applications over time. Spikes line up with featured pushes; drops surface stale boards. Hiring managers see the rhythm of candidate volume before it shows up in a moderation meeting.
Audience
Who builds WP Job Manager charts dashboards with SleekView
Job board operators
One dashboard with open listings, fill rate, and weekly application volume. Replaces the daily click-through that the operator does to confirm the board is still healthy and the queue still moves.
Moderators
A view focused on pending listings and stale roles. Pie for status mix, Bar for moderation backlog by category, plus a Number tile for listings expiring this week. The cleanup queue, visualized.
Employers
Per-employer dashboards scoped by post_author. Their own open listings as Number tiles, their own applications as a weekly Area chart. Capability-gated so each employer only sees their own data.
The bigger picture
Why job boards need a reporting layer
WP Job Manager records the data a job board operator needs, but it gives them no place to see it. Counts of open listings live in the database but not on any screen. Application volume across listings cannot be charted without writing a meta_query.
Fill rate, days-to-fill, and expiry trends are computable from postmeta but never computed by the plugin itself. The result is operators who manage at the per-listing level instead of at the board level, and hiring managers who only notice a drop in applications when the next sync meeting brings it up. A charts layer that reads the existing post types and turns them into KPI tiles, status donuts, and time-series cards changes the conversation from per-row triage to dashboard-led operations.
The data was already there. SleekView Charts is the surface that shows it.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for WP Job Manager
Yes. The free core registers job_listing and writes _filled, _featured, and _job_expires to postmeta. That is enough to build the open-listings KPI, the status donut, and a category breakdown. Premium add-ons (Resume Manager, Applications) add the second and third post types that unlock the application time-series and source breakdowns.
Without the Applications add-on there is no job_application post type, so application-volume charts have nothing to count. The other charts (open listings, fill rate, expiry distribution) all work on the free core alone.
Yes. Charts query live WordPress data, not a cached snapshot. The moment a moderator flips _filled to true or an employer publishes a listing, the next dashboard render reflects it. There is no nightly job to wait on.
Yes. Build a dashboard with filters scoped to post_author = current_user_id and gate it by an employer capability. Each employer logs in and sees their own listings and applications counted only against their data.
Fill rate is a Number card with a Sum or Count aggregation on _filled = 1 divided by total listings within a date window. Configure the window (last 30 days, last quarter) to match how the operator measures the board.
Yes. Build a Bar card with groupBy = job_listing_category on the application table, joining back to the parent listing via _job_id. The chart counts applications per category without any meta_query gymnastics.
Yes. Resumes are a full resume CPT with submission date and candidate location in postmeta. Build a separate dashboard or add resume KPIs (new resumes this week, resumes by location) alongside listing and application cards.
Yes. SleekView tables and charts read the same underlying data. If a moderator changes a listing status from the table view, the next chart render reflects the new status. Charts and tables are two views over one source of truth.
