Terrible Plugin – NO REFUNDS – NO GDPR COMPLIANCE – MAKES SITE UNSAFE

This plugin appeared to be everything I needed in terms of employee recruitment – it allows applicants to upload resumes and portfolios, it tracks applicant records and allows one to evaluate candidates within WordPress. The problem: the whole world can see all of it.

Most notably, this plugin is not GDPR compliant, not Google compliant and not Bing compliant. Supposing you can actually get a properly formatted job advertisement to appear on your site, know that when an applicant uploads a resume or other personal information to your site, the documents are stored in your WP uploads folder, which is accessible by anyone, anywhere, anytime. The author’s suggested plugin to protect this folder hasn’t been updated in three years and has not been tested for use in several recent WP versions. This condition alone will expose any business or entity in the EU or U.S. to potential legal action.

Other issues:

*The plugin is not easy to install and requires a lot of patience.
*The plugin causes conflicts with other plugins. (If after reading this you still want to purchase, back-up your WP site first.)
*The plugin adds periods to your text where unnecessary and removes them from where you put them.
*The author will not accommodate refunds.
*You cannot have more than one field of the same name or question. So, if you are asking for three references and desire a name, address, phone and relationship field for each reference, you’ll need to label accordingly (e.g. Reference Name 1, Reference Address 1 and so on.; This is further exacerbated when considering you need to know the address of the candidate. Yep, another wonky label.) And these labels are exactly what your potential candidates will see – they cannot be changed.

I ended up using a Google Sheet and Google Form (free). The results are directed to a .pdf and the .pdf is emailed to me. I used the Google Add-on called Form Publisher.
