Why WP Job Openings needs a kanban view
WP Job Openings stores every applicant as an awsm_job_application post with a candidate name, email, resume attachment, source job ID, and a stage taxonomy that drives the entire hiring workflow. The default admin list shows these applications as a flat post table with a stage column. That works for one open role but breaks down once a recruiter is juggling fifteen positions and a hundred candidates at once.
SleekView Kanban reads the same awsm_job_application rows and groups them by the application stage term, which is the natural pipeline column for this plugin. Each card surfaces the candidate name, the job title applied for, the source channel, and a relative time stamp so a recruiter can scan a column without opening every application. Rejected and on-hold candidates sit in their own lanes instead of cluttering the active pipeline.
Dragging a card from one column to another writes the new stage taxonomy back to the same applicant post, so notification emails, hire counters, and built-in WP Job Openings reports stay in sync. Bulk drags update every row in a single transaction, so a shortlist of fifty resumes can be moved into interview stage in one sweep without a hundred page reloads.

Comparison
Default WP Job Openings list vs SleekView Kanban
Default applicants list
- Flat post table listing every applicant in submitted-at order with no stage grouping
- No instant sense of how many candidates are stuck in shortlist or interview stages
- Stage changes require opening each applicant and picking a term from a dropdown
- Bulk actions only support trash and basic move-to-stage with no card-style preview
- Mobile recruiters see the same dense WordPress table with painful horizontal scroll
SleekView Kanban
- Groups applicants by the WP Job Openings stage taxonomy with live counts per lane

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for WP Job Openings
Native WP Job Openings field support
SleekView reads every WP Job Openings field directly, including candidate name, job role, application source, submitted date, and resume attachments. Pick exactly which fields show on the card front, which open in a side panel, and which stay hidden but searchable from the filter bar above the board.
Drag to change applicant stage
Every drop writes the new stage taxonomy back to the applicant post in a single update. WP Job Openings notification emails, hire counters, and reporting stay in sync, so manual moves and automated stage changes never produce duplicate candidates or ghost rows.
Filter by role, source, or date
A filter bar above the board narrows lanes by job role, application source, or submitted date range. Saved filters are per-user, so the recruiter on the engineering hire can keep a focused board while a different recruiter sees only marketing candidates from the same dataset.
Audience
Three teams using the WP Job Openings kanban
In-house recruiters
Recruiters running multiple open roles use the board to scan every pipeline in one screen and spot stages that are starving for new applicants before a hiring manager has to ask.
Hiring managers
Hiring managers open a board filtered to their own role, see who is in shortlist and interview, and move cards forward themselves instead of pinging the recruiter for every stage change.
Talent ops clearing backlogs
Talent ops teams use the rejected and on-hold lanes to clear stale applications, send batch rejection emails, and keep the active pipeline focused on candidates who are still in play.
The bigger picture
Why a kanban beats a list for hiring
Hiring is a pipeline, not a database. WP Job Openings ships a clean applicant store, but the default post list treats every candidate the same way regardless of where they sit in the workflow. A new resume submitted an hour ago looks identical to a candidate who has been sitting in interview stage for two weeks, and a stalled offer waiting on a signature is just another row buried under a sort.
That works at a handful of applicants. It falls apart at a hundred. A kanban board fixes the shape of the data, not just its presentation.
Lanes give recruiters instant counts of where every candidate is in the funnel, drag-and-drop turns stage changes into one gesture instead of a modal, and filters let each recruiter or hiring manager see only the roles they own. The same WP Job Openings data powers a different mental model, one that matches how real hiring teams actually move candidates through the funnel from first touch to signed offer.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for WP Job Openings
SleekView reads WP Job Openings data directly from the WordPress database, so any version that writes applicants to the standard post type works. The free core and the premium add-ons expose the same stage taxonomy, which means the kanban renders the same way regardless of which WP Job Openings license you run.
Yes. The drag handler updates the same stage taxonomy that the WP Job Openings admin uses, so any notification email, hook, or reporting counter tied to the hired term fires exactly as it would if a recruiter changed the stage from the applicant edit screen.
Yes. SleekView views are configuration only, so you can build one board filtered to engineering roles and another to marketing roles from the same applicant data. Each user picks their default board, and admins can pin shared boards to the WordPress sidebar for the whole hiring team.
SleekView reads the stage taxonomy on every load, so a new term shows up automatically as its own lane at the end of the board. You can then drag it into the right position in the pipeline, assign a color, and decide which fields the lane's cards should surface, all without rebuilding the view.
No. The drag handler updates the same stage taxonomy that powers the WP Job Openings dashboard widget, so counts on the widget refresh as soon as the next page load happens and never drift from what the board shows in real time.
SleekView respects WordPress capabilities, so you can require a custom capability or a role like editor or hiring manager before a card can land in the hired column. Junior recruiters see the lane and can scroll it, but the drop target rejects their card with an inline message instead of silently failing.
Each lane uses a virtual scroller, so a column with five hundred candidate cards still renders fast and stays responsive on a laptop. The lane header shows the exact count, and the filter bar at the top of the board narrows large lanes without resetting the scroll position or any cards already in motion.
SleekView reads and writes the existing WP Job Openings tables and never adds shadow tables for applicant data. View configuration sits in its own small options table, so uninstalling SleekView leaves every applicant, stage, and notification rule exactly where WP Job Openings wrote it.
