Instantly populate your WP Job Manager site with jobs from the most popular job sites and/or job aggregators. This handy plugin fetches jobs from RSS feeds and imports them to your jobs database. Pick your favorite job site/job directory, look for the jobs RSS feed, paste it directly to Go Fetch Jobs and instantly get fresh jobs in your database!

To help you quickly getting fresh jobs from external sites, Go Fetch Jobs comes bundled with ready to use RSS feeds and detailed instructions on how to setup RSS feeds for job sites that provide them.

Quick and Helpful Support

brcybersprout March 2, 2023 1 reply

We started using the Go Fetch Jobs plugin to help us on a client project to feed a list of job openings into their directory. We found that we need a few adjustments/customizations to the import process in order to successfully connect the available feed with the plug-ins import function. The Go Fetch Jobs team was extremely helpful in helping us resolve these needs and were never made us feel like a burden. I sincerely appreciate the support we have received.

This plugin DOES NOT SUPPORT INDEED

invision-studios January 17, 2023 1 reply

I subscribed to the paid version of this plugin specifically to pull my client’s job data from INDEED and display on their website. Indeed no longer maintains an API. The dev should note this in their description, and especially on their paid subscription site.

completely messed up site

anderslinn November 3, 2021 3 replies

Pro version writes to non allowed folders, messed up database and completely broke site. When imported jobs got automatically deleted on schedule the entire site broke in designs and tons of error messages, days of work to restore since the issues repeated every time we restored backups, had to go back a month with tons of work lost. no response from support.

Brilliant automation to find jobs

rosbiffer August 26, 2021

I run a site for a charity that helps people made redundant. Go fetch jobs is invaluable to keeping our jobs board up to date automatically and has helped many members find jobs. Support is second to none too. Thank you!

Works Good, Support Slow

Michael February 3, 2021

It’s Pretty Good. But the support is pretty slow. We have the paid version. The actual plugin has a funky interface. Took me a bit to figure it out. The Interface could be better, and it would be nice to assign keyword matches to multiple sources. Its clunky. Whats Good about it is that it works with MANY sources and requires little customization that other plugins may have required.

Overpriced

jedislayer April 7, 2020

It’s a great plugin and works. But it appears that it doesn’t support WP Job Manager for me. For that reason, its overpriced for me.
