Which TemplateMonster theme builds a job board or recruitment site?
WorkBucket is TemplateMonster's job portal theme, and it is the product our collection listed for years under its old name, Job Portal. It costs $59 and holds 531 sales with 25 reviews. It also carries the only genuine, non-batch update date on the page, August 2023, which makes its maintenance record easier to trust than a re-stamped 2026 label.
Best for: recruitment agencies and job boards that want listings, employer profiles and resume submission built in
The WorkBucket WordPress theme is TemplateMonster’s job portal theme, and it costs $59. Moreover, it is the product this collection listed for years as Job Portal, before TemplateMonster renamed it.
The only honest update date on the page
TemplateMonster stamped “Updated: Jun 11, 2026” onto seven separate themes at once. WorkBucket is not among them: its product page shows August 2023, a real and distinct date.
Three years old is not fresh. However, a genuine three-year-old release tells you considerably more than a batch-dated 2026 label does, because at least someone actually shipped something. Consequently WorkBucket is easier to assess than most of its neighbours here.
A closer look at the demo
Both sides of a recruitment site
A job board needs two halves that most themes only half-build. WorkBucket ships job listings and employer profiles on one side, and resume submission on the other, so candidates and companies each have somewhere to go.
Furthermore the layout has aged well for a theme created in 2014. The current build is clean and typographic rather than the boxed, shadowed style of its release year, which is the clearest sign that the 2023 work was real.
Where it runs out
The listing features are the theme’s own rather than a dedicated plugin. Therefore a site that grows past a few hundred live vacancies, or needs paid employer listings and applicant tracking, will outgrow them.
That is the normal path for a job board, and it is not a reason to skip the theme. In addition, moving to a dedicated job board plugin later is easier from an Elementor theme than from a locked-in builder.
Key features:

Frequently Asked Questions
Is WorkBucket the same theme as Job Portal?
Yes. TemplateMonster renamed Job Portal to WorkBucket, and the product ID is unchanged. Older reviews and links, including ours, still carry the old name in the URL.
Why does its update date matter so much?
Because TemplateMonster applied an identical June 2026 date to seven other themes on this page, which makes that label a batch re-stamp. WorkBucket’s August 2023 date is distinct, so it reflects real work.
Can it run a large job board?
Up to a point. The listing features are the theme’s own, so a site with hundreds of live vacancies, paid employer listings or applicant tracking will need a dedicated job board plugin on top.
Does it handle resume submissions?
Yes, candidate resume submission ships with the theme alongside job listings and employer profiles, so both sides of a recruitment site are covered from the start.
Is a 2014 theme too old to buy?
Judge the current build rather than the creation date. WorkBucket was rebuilt on Elementor and reworked in 2023, and the live demo looks nothing like a 2014 release.
Is it still a Cherry Framework theme?
No. It launched in the Cherry era and now runs on Elementor. Cherry-era customisations do not transfer to the current build.
