Job Listings for Imported Jobs (Frontend)
Single Job Page for Imported Jobs (Frontend)
Simply put, it’s the ultimate plugin to easily populate your JobRoller site with real jobs from the most popular job sites and job aggregators. This handy plugin fetches jobs from RSS feeds and imports them to your jobs database.
Pick your favorite big job site, look for the jobs RSS feed, paste it directly to Go Fetch Jobs and instantly get fresh jobs in your database! It also supports scheduled automatic imports so you can put your job site in full auto-pilot!
Please read more below. For more information and feature details please visit the official site.
New!
– Extract FULL job descriptions, company and company logos directly from the providers site (select providers only)
– Improved Smart Assign (auto assign job types/categories based on jobs content)
Very Complete
Besides the usual title and description, Go Fetch Jobs can also pull company logos (*), job companies and job locations for selected providers. You can also set job categories and job types and custom field values for the jobs being imported. You can even set it to feature the jobs being imported.
There’s plenty of options to control and identify your job imports and you can even save your import settings as templates. These templates, beside simplifying future imports, can be assigned to automatic imports, available through schedules. You can create unlimited schedules to automatically and regularly import jobs. Just specify an existing template, the schedule recurrence and watch your site being refreshed with new jobs on a regular basis.
(*) If you want to display company logos on job listings as in the demo site, and add a ton of new features to your JobRoller site check out my other plugin named FXtender Pro.
Seamless Integration
Each imported job seamless integrates with your JobRoller site but since these jobs don’t provide an explicit ‘How to Apply’ field the ‘Apply Online’ link will be hidden. Instead, under the ‘How to Apply’ title, your customers will see a (customizable) ‘Click Here To Apply’, link, that links directly to the external job.
Ready to use RSS Feeds Providers
Go Fetch Jobs comes packed with ready to use RSS feeds providers grouped in categories like: Design, Blogging, Gaming, IT, Marketing, etc… Providers include The Guardian, Smashing Magazine, Careerjet, and many others. Just click the feed you want to use!

Why are jobs not showing full job descriptions ?
Some sites don’t provide full job descriptions on their RSS feeds. This is usually intended to have users still visit the original site to read the full description.
Why don’t all jobs show a logo after importing?
Logos are not available in all RSS feeds and unfortunately, RSS feeds that provide them are still the exception.
How do I import jobs so that they are all automatically assigned to the matching category?
To have imported jobs assigned to their most relevant categories/types you need to enable *Smart Assign* option. This option will scan each imported job looking for terms that match your existing categories/types.
Manual Installation:
- Download the Plugin zip file
- Open WP Admin dashboard -> Plugins -> Add new -> Upload
- Upload and activate the Plugin from the Plugins page.

@Rawat,
“Can this plugin be used in jobapp child theme?”
Yes. If you find any issues just let me know.
“and can we set the external link open in new tab?”
For this you’ll need to make a minor change on the plugin so that links open in a new tab. I can explain you.
many thanks for this, i did find the monster one however this is hong kong only. i am trying to do a global work based site. on other question 🙂 is there a way to get the location of the job in to the location area? eg job4me.xyz shows the monster jobs in hong kong but the location option i had was generic so on the map it is all in one place. i want to make the map rich with different locations.
One more question can we fix the number of alphabets in job description, so that if the RSS i providing the full description we can limit it..
@zulugogogo, replying to your question:
“is there a way to get the location of the job in to the location area?”
It’s not possible to auto-fill the location since the feed does not provide a specific tag for the location. Whenever possible, you should try to have feeds grouped by location. That way you can configure multiple cron imports for specific locations.
@Rawat,
“One more question can we fix the number of alphabets in job description, so that if the RSS i providing the full description we can limit it..”
Yes. ‘Go Fetch Jobs’ provides a filter that allows you to change the description output, including limiting it.
please advise more on this filter and where it can be found.
Please let me know where to change code for link to open in new tab.
where are the filter that allows you to change the description output, including limiting it.
@Rawat and Andy,
please visit this thread: http://forums.appthemes.com/go-fetch-jobs/open-external-jobs-apply-link-90803/#post379291. I’ve explained there how to open links in a new tab and limit job descriptions.
If the rss is not updated its job .. plugin is fetching the old jobs again making lots of duplicate contents
@Brijesh, thanks for reporting. I’ve just released an updated version that fixes that issue.
Hi Bruno,
I have a website with Jobroller latest version in operation and would like to know if your plugin supports other languages i.e., the jobs will be loaded as the language of origin of the feed?
Thanks
@caraujo, the language is irrelevant for the plugin. If an RSS job feed contains jobs with titles and descriptions in english, it imports them in english. If it’s a jobs feed with titles and description in Portuguese, it will import them in Portuguese, and etc, for every other language.
Thanks for Reply!
How to disable comment in job page..
Imported job page showing comment option..
Regards
@Brijesh, you need to disable the option in “Discussion > Default article settings > Allow people to post comments on new articles”. Otherwise, all new posts will have comments enabled.
hi, wordpress update and now
/wp-content/plugins/go-fetch-jobs/includes/admin/class-gofetch-jobs-admin-settings.php on line 954
@zulugogogo, please report any issues on the support forum so I can better help you.
I can confirm this “bug” exists with the latest WordPress 4.4.
I’ve posted a temporary fix for this issue there: http://forums.appthemes.com/go-fetch-jobs/temporary-wordpress-4-4-php-91051/.
Thanks for reporting.

@ zulugogogo, did you rename your file from ‘options.php’ to ‘settings.php’ like I’ve suggested on the forum thread?
sorry i was to fast and did not rename – many thanks
Hi
Is this plugin compatible wth hirebee
I have a trainer platform site where i would like to populate training assignments / jobs for my users.
my site name is http://www.planmytrainings.com
@chaitanya, unfortunately not. Go Fetch Jobs was developed specifically for JobRoller.
Can you suggest the plugin that i could use for hirebee?
Or if you could make changes to this plugin and help me buy this for hirebee… would be a great help.
Hi there Bruno, would this child plugin work with child themes like “Simplux” . That is what I’m using.
Thanks. Mike
Yes. The plugin is theme agnostic. Meaning it will work with any child theme. It simply provides new content to your database.
I just purchased this plugin and I can’t even figure out where to start. Is there a manual, installation guide, instructions available? Thanks, Mike
