Is Jobmonster still a good job board WordPress theme?
Jobmonster by NooTheme is the longest-serving heavyweight in this collection: 5,615+ sales since 2015 and version 4.8.6 shipped in June 2026 with WordPress 7.x, WPBakery 8 and Elementor support. Front-end job and resume submission, admin review workflows, pricing plans and email notifications cover the classic paid job board model at a $49 price.
Best for: site owners who want a decade-proven job board with the largest classic install base
The Jobmonster WordPress theme is the survivor of this collection: on sale since 2015, 5,615+ licences sold, and version 4.8.6 released 17 June 2026. We refreshed this review with new screenshots and the current feature set.
A decade of the classic job board model
Jobmonster runs the model that built this category: employers buy posting plans, submit jobs from the front end, and an admin review step keeps quality up. Moreover, candidates submit resumes the same way, and email notifications keep both sides informed without extra plugins.
WordPress 7 and two builders
NooTheme kept the theme unusually current: version 4.8.6 declares WordPress 7.x readiness, WPBakery Page Builder 8 support and Elementor compatibility side by side. Consequently, long-running sites can stay on WPBakery while new builds start in Elementor – a rare bridge between theme generations.
Search, maps and the practical extras
The job search stacks keyword, category and location filters, with Google Maps integration for location-based boards. In addition, one-click demo import sets up any of the homepage variants in minutes, and the friendly user dashboard from version 4.6 onward modernized the account area considerably.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Jobmonster up to date with WordPress?
Yes – version 4.8.6 from 17 June 2026 declares WordPress 7.x readiness, plus WPBakery Page Builder 8 and Elementor compatibility.
How do employers pay on a Jobmonster site?
Through job posting pricing plans: packages define how many listings and featured slots an employer gets, with WooCommerce handling the checkout.
Can jobs be submitted from the front end?
Yes, both jobs and resumes – with an admin review step before publication, so the board stays curated.
Which builder should I use with it?
New sites should pick Elementor; existing Jobmonster sites can stay on WPBakery 8 without rebuilding – the theme supports both.

It averages 373 ratings across a full decade, including older, rougher versions. Recent releases have been steadier than the historic average suggests.
