Job Application Form

Overview

The Loxo plugin includes a built-in job application form that allows visitors to apply for jobs directly from your WordPress site. Applications are submitted to the Loxo platform via API.

Form Fields

The application form collects the following information:

  • Name — Applicant’s full name (required)
  • Email — Applicant’s email address (required)
  • Phone — Applicant’s phone number (required)
  • Resume — File upload for resume/CV (required)
  • Consent checkbox — Optional, configurable in settings

Displaying the Form

The form can be displayed using either:

  • Shortcode:
  • Gutenberg Block: Job Application Form (under the Loxo category)

On the default single job page template, the application form is automatically displayed below the job description.

How Submissions Work

  1. Visitor fills out the form and clicks Apply.
  2. The plugin validates the submission (nonce check, required fields, reCAPTCHA if enabled, consent if enabled).
  3. The application data (name, email, phone, resume file) is sent to the Loxo API.
  4. On success, the visitor sees a confirmation message: “Congratulations!!! You have successfully applied for this job.”
  5. On failure, the visitor sees the specific error message and can resubmit.

Applications are stored in your Loxo account and can be managed from the Loxo dashboard.

Consent Checkbox

To add a consent/terms checkbox to the form, go to Loxo Jobs → Settings under the Job Application section:

  • Enable Consent — Check to show the consent checkbox on the form.
  • Consent Text — The label shown next to the checkbox (e.g., “I agree to the terms and conditions”).
  • Consent Description — Optional additional text displayed below the checkbox.

When enabled, applicants must check the consent box before submitting their application.

Spam Protection

The application form supports Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam protection. See the Google reCAPTCHA v3 documentation page for setup instructions.

Site Application Tracking

The plugin tracks how many applications are submitted through your website for each job. This count is displayed in the Site Applications column on the admin Jobs list. This only counts applications made through your site — applications submitted directly through Loxo or third-party platforms are not included.
