Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have a custom post type called "job." A user can submit a job posting, and any applicants can submit their application including resumes. I made another custom post type called "job application," so when applicants submit the form, a post will be generated.

I would like this application can be viewed by job posting author and applicants. And author can delete or mark as disqualified the applicant, but applicants can still be able to view the application as their history.

P.S. in additions, it is possible to let applicants to create a application template so they can job quickly for a similar job?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To allow job posters to change the status of job applications, without actually deleting them from the system, you can add a new select type custom field for example "job application status" for the "job application" post type.

As needed, that field can have these options:
1. Submitted ( default value )
2. Approved
3. Rejected

This field can be available only in the form that a job poster has access to so that this status can only be changed by the job poster and not the applicant.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

As for the other question about the job application template, I've split it into a separate ticket and will reply to it shortly.
