TalentHR allows you to integrate the job openings of your TalentHR portal with your WordPress site using a WP plugin. This integration enables you to display TalentHR job postings on your WordPress site in both a short format (Simple) and a detailed (Extended) format. A widget is also available.
Step 1: Download the TalentHR WP plugin .zip file
- Go to https://github.com/TalentHR/
- Click on the “TalentHR-wordpress-jobs” repository and go to “Releases” (1).
- Click to download the “Source code (zip)” of the latest release.
Step 2: Install your TalentHR plugin
- Sign in to your WordPress account as administrator.
- From the left-hand navigation panel go to “Plugins > Add New Plugin” (1) and then click the “Upload Plugin” button (2).
- Click “Choose File” (3) and select the .zip file you downloaded earlier.
- Click “Install Now” (4).
- Once the plugin is installed, click “Activate Plugin” (5) to activate your plugin on your site. You can also do that later from the “Installed Plugins” page.
Step 3: Set up your TalentHR plugin
When your plugin is activated, a TalentHR entry is added to the left-hand navigation panel.
- Go to “TalentHR > Settings” (1).
- In the respective field, type your TalentHR domain (e.g. mycompany.talenthr.com) (2). Do not include an “http://” or “https://” prefix.
- Click “Save” (3).
- Once you’ve saved and to make sure that everything has been done correctly, click the “Test” button (4) to check the response (5).
The TalentHR plugin provides two shortcodes to use with your WP site. “Simple” will show a brief overview of your job postings, while “Extended” will include all the information that’s available on your job postings:
1. Simple (1)
2. Extended (2)
Step 4: How to add the shortcodes to implement the plugin
- Go to “TalentHR > Settings” and click to copy the shortcode of your choice (Simple or Extended) (1).
- Choose where you’d like to add your job postings (e.g. a new page or a component in an existing page) and navigate to the relevant menu (2), then click to create a new instance (e.g. a new page) or edit an existing one.
- In the Classic Editor, add the shortcode to the area of the post or page where you’d like to see it using the “Text” tab (3). Remember to Publish or Update the post when you’re done!
How to embed the TalentHR widget
To further showcase your job postings, you can add a widget to your WordPress site too.
- Go to “Appearance > Widgets” (1).
- Choose where you’d like to add your widget (e.g. “Footer Column 1”) and click the + icon (2), then search for “TalentHR Job Positions” and click on the resulting option (3) to add the widget.
- Optionally, type a title for your widget (4). If you leave the respective field blank, the default title is “Job Positions”.
How to customize your plugin with CSS
You can customize the shortcodes and the widget with the use of CSS.
- Go to “TalentHR > Custom CSS” (1).
- Enter your custom CSS in the box (2) and click “Save” to apply it. You can use the “Examples” sheet on this page for reference.
