Listable

LISTABLE – A Friendly Directory WordPress Theme

Buyer Rating: 4.8/5 stars

Price: $64

While not strictly for job boards, Listable is a powerful directory theme well worth its cost.

The theme has a superb card-style front-end design, integrates perfectly with multiple plugins (including WooCommerce – especially the Paid Subscriptions and Paid Listings extensions), stunning style presets and a whole arsenal of fonts and colors for you to choose from, widgetized front-page, drag-and-drop page builder included, and more.

Listable is extensible, and the theme itself is every UX-designer’s dream (with amazing performance scores). However, it doesn’t come pre-packaged with any of the plugins mentioned. It lists the recommended free and premium plugins on theme page, but they’re not bundled with the theme. Keep that in mind before buying it.
