SleekView for WP Job Openings: applicants as tables
WP Job Openings stores jobs and applicants as custom post types with rating, stage, and resume fields. SleekView turns those records into a hiring grid you can sort, filter, and edit inline as candidates move.

Hiring pipeline as a real table
WP Job Openings registers two custom post types: awsm_job_openings for roles and awsm_job_application for applicants. Each application carries postmeta for rating, stage, source, and form-builder answers. The default applicant list shows fixed columns, hides screening questions behind tabs, and forces hiring teams to drill into a job before they can compare candidates. That breaks the moment a single role gets twenty applications.
SleekView reads the same custom post types and renders one cross-job grid. Stage, rating, source, and any custom screening field become sortable columns or filters. Interviewers see only the rows assigned to them, hiring managers see the full pipeline, and HR can pivot on time-in-stage without exporting anything.
Inline edits go through the plugin's normal hooks, so notification emails to candidates and admins still fire when you advance someone from Screen to Interview. Bulk reject, advance, or tag turns a forty-applicant queue into a fifteen-minute review session.

The bigger picture
Why hiring grids beat per-job applicant lists
Hiring on WP Job Openings rarely fits the per-job admin screen the plugin ships with. A single backend role can pull twenty applications in a week, a marketing role pulls forty, and the team needs to see them next to each other to calibrate ratings. Drilling into one job at a time forces interviewers to keep mental notes about who they liked across roles, which is exactly how good candidates fall through the cracks.
A real grid with stage, rating, source, and submission date in one row turns the pipeline into something you can review in a single sitting. It also makes the data legible to HR, who care about pipeline health metrics like average time-in-stage, source quality, and rejection reasons. Those numbers exist as postmeta but never surface in the default screens.
SleekView does not replace the application form, the candidate emails, or the resume storage. It just gives the people who actually run hiring a view of their own data that matches how they think about the work.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for WP Job Openings
Yes. Rating is stored as postmeta on the awsm_job_application post type, and SleekView surfaces it as a sortable, editable column right in the grid. You can sort by rating, filter to four-star-and-up candidates, and edit ratings inline as interviews wrap.
Yes. Any custom field added through the WP Job Openings form builder, including dropdowns, file uploads, and checkboxes, appears as a column or filter. Right-to-work, salary expectations, and notice period fields stop hiding behind tabs and become first-class hiring data.
Yes. SleekView writes through the same hooks the plugin uses, so candidate confirmation emails, admin notification emails, and any webhook integrations fire exactly as they do when you edit through the default screens. Stage changes trigger their normal email flows.
Yes. Select rows and apply a stage change to all selected applicants at once. The hooks run per row so notification emails still go out, but the click cost drops from one-by-one drilling to a single bulk action. Useful at the end of a screening round.
Yes. If your application form captures source, whether through a dropdown, hidden UTM field, or referrer, it becomes a filter and column instantly. You can compare hire rates by source or build views that surface candidates from specific job boards.
Yes. Filtered views export to CSV with the chosen columns. Hand a list of shortlisted candidates to a client, share interviewer scores with finance for offer approvals, or archive a closed role's pipeline for future reference.
No. Resumes stay where WP Job Openings puts them, in the WordPress Media Library or as the plugin's secured file attachments. SleekView surfaces a link to the resume on each row so reviewers can open it in one click without changing how files are stored or secured.
Yes. SleekView surfaces submission date and any stage-change timestamps the plugin records as columns and filters. Build a view of candidates stuck in Screen for over a week, or sort by days-since-submission to spot pipeline bottlenecks before they cost a hire.
