Collect job applications for WP Job Manager and screen every applicant with AI — match score, reasoning and matched/missing skills.

== Description ==

WP Job Manager on its own only shows an email address or a link when someone clicks "Apply for job" — nothing is recorded. Hiremium Smart Applicants Screening adds the missing piece: a real application form with CV upload, an applicant list for employers, and AI screening that scores every applicant against the job.

Features:

* Application form with CV upload on every job listing
* Applicant list inside the employer's existing job dashboard
* Statuses (new, shortlisted, interview, rejected, hired), private notes and CSV export
* AI match score with reasoning and matched / missing skills
* Best-match sorting, so the strongest applicants are on top
* Scoring runs in the background — applicants never wait for it
* Works with the Hiremium API, or with your own AI provider key stored in WordPress connectors

Switching AI scoring off keeps everything else working: applications are still collected and employers keep their applicant list, statuses and notes.

== Installation ==

1. Install and activate WP Job Manager.
2. Upload and activate Hiremium Smart Applicants Screening.
3. Go to Job Listings > Settings > Hiremium Smart Applicants Screening and choose a scoring engine.
