Reviews

Reliable and solid with a few set-up hiccups

MrMattEastwood June 13, 2024 6 replies

Ran into a few issues when setting up the Pro version, which we bought straight from the dev. I installed it without installing the Light version first, then got prompted to do that. Turns out if you install them in that order, a bunch of stuff goes belly-up, so I needed to contact support end ended up uninstalling, then reinstalling in the right order. Apart from that, this is a solid, reliable plugin that works quite well. I love that when using shortcodes (I use Bricks Builder for which there is no integration), the plugin produces clean HTML output with no CSS that I have to battle against. Would have liked a few more classes, but I can still target any element I want with :nth-child and the like so it’s all good.

Absolutely spot on

mrmaroo December 20, 2023

This plugin is absolutely spot on; it solves the problem and offers fantastic technical support. I used it to implement global recruitment on a client’s website, which has locations in 10 countries with distinct recruitment processes and languages. When I encountered an issue, I reached out to their support team and received absolutely great assistance.”

Gutes Plugin, guter Support

sebastianstarke November 21, 2023

Das Plugin tut genau das, was es soll und wartet dabei noch mit einer Vielzahl w?hlbarer Optionen auf (In der Premium-Version natürlich mehr). Der Support ist hervorragend: Ich habe um Rat bei der Entfernung der bei Personio verwendeten Inline-Styles gebeten. Das Feature wurde sofort in das Plugin eingebaut, das Update ging zwei Tage sp?ter raus.

Tolle L?sung, um Personio DSGVO-konform einzubinden.

cismart April 5, 2023

Ein klasse Plugin, um schnell, unkompliziert und DSGVO-konform Personio-Stellenanzeigen auf seiner Website einzublenden. Dadurch, dass die Anzeigen über die Schnittstelle von Personio nach WordPress importiert werden, werden auf der Seite keine externen Verbindungen für den Besucher der Seite aufgebaut, wie es zum Beispiel bei der Einbindung per iFrame der Fall w?re. Zudem bietet das Plugin viele Individualisierungs- und Stylem?glichkeiten durch die Integration von Pagebuildern, wie bspw. Elementor. Wir sind sehr happy darüber, dass wir dieses Plugin gefunden haben!

Schnelle L?sung für Personio-Jobs auf der eigenen Seite

anschaef August 16, 2022

Plugin in der Light-Version erstmals bei einer Kundenseite verwendet und es macht genau, was es soll. Import wird per Log dokumentiert, die Stellenliste kann man per Gutenberg-Block in einer Page anzeigen. Getestet mit WP 6 und PHP 8.1.
