100Hires connects to WordPress so your open roles show up on your own site, and every applicant flows straight into a real applicant tracking system. Paste one line of code into a WordPress page, or use the WordPress plugin, and your live job list renders on your domain and stays in sync.
This page covers how the WordPress integration works day to day, what you get that a standalone job board plugin cannot give you, and where it is not the right fit.
A WordPress job board plugin shows jobs. It does not hire for you
Running a job board on WordPress usually means assembling a stack: a base plugin, a compatible theme, a page builder, a forms plugin, and a few paid add-ons before you can post a single role.
The free core usually covers job display, while application tracking, resume handling, and anti-spam tend to sit behind paid add-on bundles.
Then the real work starts. Applicants pile up in a WordPress admin list with no scoring and no stages, spam slips through unless you wire up a captcha yourself, and getting the same job onto Indeed or LinkedIn is usually a manual copy-paste, board by board.
A WordPress integration backed by a real ATS splits the job in two. WordPress keeps doing what it is good at, showing your roles on your own brand, while 100Hires catches every applicant, screens and scores them, and keeps them as candidates you own. Here is how that works.
Why not just run a WordPress job board plugin
A WordPress job board plugin is fine for a single one-off hire on a small site. But a plugin is a display layer first.
Teams that try to run real hiring on one hit the same wall. Applicants sit in a WordPress list with no scoring, there is no candidate database to re-engage later, and the form and anti-spam are add-ons you assemble.
Every plugin, theme, and add-on update is yours to keep compatible, and distribution usually stops at your own domain.
With 100Hires you keep the part WordPress does well, your roles on your own brand, and add an ATS that is yours: pipeline stages, AI Score, Evaluation Forms, self-scheduling links, nurture campaigns, and a candidate database you keep. WordPress shows the jobs; 100Hires is where you hire.
100Hires versus a standalone WordPress job board plugin
Where 100Hires is not the answer: if you want a public, multi-employer job board where outside companies post and pay for their own listings, a dedicated WordPress job board plugin is built for that and 100Hires is not. 100Hires is for hiring your own roles.
