 * Just a few questions before installing. Does this include search functionality
   on the front end? And can you categorize jobs based on the industry? Thank you

 * Search is not native to Job Manager however, we have worked with quite a few 
   excellent plugins that provide added benefit and feature enhancement to Job Manger.
   For search we recommend using[ Ultimate WP Query Search Filter ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-wp-query-search-filter/)
 * Category: Pretty flexible, you can categorize jobs by industry.
 * Here is an [example site ](http://www.strategicrecruitmentsolutions.com/jobs/)
   using Category for Type and additional search criteria with Location. This also
   uses the WPQSF.

 * Thanks for your response. Any plans to include an auto respond to applicants 
   who apply? I noticed this isn’t currently a feature, but would be very handy 
   for our organization. Is there a way to manually code this in using PHP?

 * Yes I agree Auto response would be nice, it’s on the list. Can’t say as to when
   it will be released, as we are working on a new framework.
 * If you can come up with an easy implementation for an Auto Responder email and
   your handy at coding PHP, we sure would provide yo credit for it. The code base
   is available.
 * Developers can contribute to the source code on our [Bitbucket repository. ](https://bitbucket.org/jobmanager_hp/job-manager)
 * You do know you can email applicants from the back-end ?

 * Thank you for your response. Unfortunately I am not an expert with PHP, and would
   not be comfortable trying to add that functionality myself!
 * I am aware that candidates can be emailed from the backend, however our organization
   receives so many applicants on a daily basis that it would become very time consuming
   to email them all with a confirmation.
 * Looking forward to this feature in the future, in the meantime we may need to
   choose another plugin. Thank you!
