Quick apply and visitor apply

Candidates normally apply with a full resume from their account. Two features make applying easier:

Quick Apply (free Core) puts a short form on the job page: name, email, phone, message and a file. Logged-in users, visitors or both can use it.
Visitor apply (Pro) lets visitors fill in the full resume form and apply without registering.

Turn on Quick Apply

Go to WP Job Portal → Configuration and open the Applications tab.

Under Job Applications, set the options you want:

Option	What it does
Enable Quick Apply for Logged-in Users	Shows the Quick Apply form to logged-in users on the job page
Enable Quick Apply for Visitors	Shows the Quick Apply form to visitors on the job page
Enable Cover Letter Quick Apply	Lets logged-in users pick one of their cover letters on the form. Cover letters need Pro

Select Save Changes.

Quick Apply form on a job page, titled Apply On The Job, with Name, Email, Phone and Message filled in and a Resume upload

Choose the Quick Apply fields

Go to WP Job Portal → Resume → Quick Apply Fields. The form starts with these fields:

Field	Notes
Name	Always on
Email	Always on
Phone
Message
Resume	A file upload for the candidate’s CV

You can rename, reorder, require or hide the fields here, as on any field list. See Field manager.

What a Quick Apply application creates

Each Quick Apply creates a short, approved resume record from the form and applies it to the job. That record:

appears with the application on the job’s Applied Resume list, where employers and you can see it;
isn’t in the Resume list or the approval queue;
can’t be copied to a folder.

See Handling applications.

Let visitors apply with a full resume

With Pro:

Go to WP Job Portal → Configuration and open the Visitors tab.

Under General Permissions, set:

Option	What it does
Visitor Can Apply to Job	Lets people who aren’t logged in apply for jobs
Visitor Can Add Resume	Lets people who aren’t logged in add a resume
Visitor Resume Post Redirect Page	The page a visitor is sent to after posting a resume

Select Save Changes.

Resumes that visitors add follow Resume Auto Approve, like any other resume. See Approving resumes. The matching email template is Email Templates → New Visitor Resume.

Protect the forms with a captcha

Go to WP Job Portal → Configuration and open the Security & Captcha tab.
Under Captcha Options, turn on Captcha on Visitor Quick Apply. With Pro, also turn on Captcha on Visitor Resume Form.
Choose the Default Captcha Type: Cloudflare Turnstile, Google reCAPTCHA, or Built-in (no keys needed, nothing for visitors to solve).
Select Save Changes.

Turnstile and reCAPTCHA need keys from those services. See Security and captcha settings.
