Visitor settings

A visitor is anyone using your site without logging in. Open Components → JS Jobs → Configurations and click Visitor Settings in the list on the left. This section is part of the same page as General, so Save Configurations saves both.

The Visitor Settings section on its Visitor As A Job Seeker tab.

Settings marked (Pro) belong to features of JS Jobs Pro.

Visitor Post Job (Pro) Yes Lets visitors post a job without an account. A visitor who opens the new-job form gets the visitor version, which also asks for the company’s details.
