  Hi

  I would like to upgrade but I am unsure of what plan I would need.

  The website will be for a recruitment company (current website http://www.purpleplacements.co.uk) The most important feature is the jobs widget, I need an upgrade that will be compatible with this widget.

  Could you please advise if the premium upgrade will be suffice? We are currently a small business.

  Thanks
  Carissa

  Hi Carissa
  Unfortunately there is no jobs widget listed amongst those available at WordPress.Com. There are several Jobs Plugins that are available from third party developers for WordPress installations at other web hosts (known as self-hosted or WordPress.Org sites), but you cannot use them on a site hosted at WordPress.Com. It does not matter which plan you select. See https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/ for more details.

  You could do posts about jobs on a page, assigning them the category of Jobs, and display them in a sidebar. Clicking on the post listed in the sidebar would open that post.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/view-all/ discusses categories
  and
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/categories-widget/ talks about how to show them in the sidebar

  Hope that helps
