To add sponsors and partners to your wpjobmanager-powered job board, you can create a custom plugin that hooks into the wpjobmanager plugin and adds the desired functionality.

Here's a high-level overview of what you can do:

Create a new plugin: You can create a new plugin by creating a new folder in the wp-content/plugins directory and adding a new PHP file. In this file, you'll define the plugin's metadata and hook into the appropriate WordPress and wpjobmanager actions and filters.

Define the metadata: In the plugin file, you'll define the metadata for the plugin, such as the name, version, author, and description.

Hook into wpjobmanager: To add sponsors and partners, you'll need to hook into the wpjobmanager plugin and add your custom functionality. You can use the job_manager_job_listing_meta_start or job_manager_job_listing_meta_end action to add content to the job listing page.

Add sponsors and partners: In the hook function, you can add HTML and CSS to display sponsors and partners on the job listing page. You can create a custom post type for sponsors and partners, or you can use custom fields to store the sponsor/partner information.

Style the content: You can style the sponsors and partners content to match the style of your job board. You can add custom CSS to your theme's stylesheet or create a separate CSS file and enqueue it in your plugin.

With these steps, you should be able to add sponsors and partners to your wpjobmanager-powered job board. Keep in mind that this is just a high-level overview, and you'll need to dive into the details of the wpjobmanager plugin and WordPress development to create a functional and secure plugin.
