A WordPress job board and company profile website for The Lexer Group, a US-based recruitment firm. The project involved building a custom plugin to power a fully custom job archive section — replacing or extending the default job listing behavior with a tailored archive experience matching the site's design and functional requirements.
The Lexer Group — Job Board & Custom Job Archive Plugin
Overview
The Lexer Group is a US-based recruitment and staffing firm requiring a job board and company profile website built on WordPress. The project involved developing a custom WordPress plugin to power a fully tailored job archive section — delivering a job listing experience beyond what standard WordPress job board plugins provide out of the box.
The Challenge
Standard WordPress job board plugins offer limited control over the archive page layout, filtering behavior, and display logic. Key challenges included:
- Building a custom job archive section that matched the specific design and functional requirements of the site rather than relying on a plugin's default output
- Developing a standalone custom plugin to handle the job archive logic cleanly — keeping the functionality portable and maintainable independent of the theme
- Ensuring the custom archive integrated seamlessly with the existing WordPress job data structure and site design
Development Process
Custom Job Archive Plugin
A custom WordPress plugin was developed specifically to power the job archive section — handling job listing display, filtering, and layout logic outside of any third-party plugin's default templates. The plugin was built to integrate with the existing job data on the site while rendering the archive section in a fully custom, design-consistent layout. This approach gave the site full control over the job archive experience without being constrained by a plugin's native output structure.
Company Profile & Job Board
The WordPress site was structured to present both the company's profile — covering brand, team, and positioning — and the job board listing section powered by the custom archive plugin. The overall site design and page structure were built to serve both the company's credibility as a recruitment firm and the functional needs of job seekers browsing open roles.
