Readme

BambooHR Applicant Sync

Automatically synchronize job application forms with BambooHR via API integration.

Description

This plugin enables seamless integration between WordPress job application forms and BambooHR. All submitted applications are stored locally and automatically synchronized with your BambooHR account through the API.

Key Features:

  • Fully customizable job application form
  • Automatic synchronization with BambooHR
  • Local backup of all applications
  • Resume/CV upload functionality
  • Admin dashboard for application management
  • Retry mechanism for failed synchronizations
  • Comprehensive status tracking
  • Secure file handling and data validation

Shortcodes:

[bamboohr_application_form] [bamboohr_application_form position="Job Title"]

The plugin ensures data integrity by storing all applications locally first, then attempting to sync with BambooHR. If synchronization fails, you can retry later through the admin interface.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to /wp-content/plugins/bamboohr-applicant-sync/
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
  3. Go to BambooHR > Settings to configure your API credentials
  4. Use the shortcode [bamboohr_application_form] on any page where you want the application form

Setup Requirements:

  • Active BambooHR account with API access
  • WordPress installation with file upload capabilities
  • SSL certificate recommended for secure data transmission
