    15 The Get Hired Button plugin seamlessly integrates TryMe's powerful recruitment widget into your WordPress website. This lightweight plugin helps you convert more job seekers into applicants by providing a streamlined application experience directly on your career pages.
     15The Get Hired Button — Simple, Automatic, and Ready to Go
     16Once you install the plugin, the Get Hired Button usually appears on your site automatically. 🎉
     17No complicated setup. No coding. It just works.
     18If the button doesn’t show right away, no stress — it just means we need your widget token.

    17 = Key Features =
     20= Add Your Widget Token (only if needed) =
    1821
    19 * **Easy Setup** - Install and configure in minutes with a simple admin interface
    20 * **Flexible Authentication** - Supports three authentication modes:
    21   * Token Mode (recommended) - Secure connection with your TryMe account
    22   * Host Matching - Automatic domain-based authentication
    23   * Guest Mode - Immediate functionality for new users
    24 * **Lightweight** - Minimal impact on page load times with async script loading
    25 * **No Coding Required** - Simple configuration through WordPress admin
    26 * **HTTPS Secure** - All connections use secure HTTPS protocol
    27 * **Multisite Compatible** - Works with WordPress multisite installations
     22Most users won’t ever need to do this, but if auto-connect didn’t pick up your site:
     23Log in to [TRYclub.com](https://www.tryclub.com)
     24Open Get Hired Button → Settings
     25Copy your widget token
     26Paste it into the plugin settings and click Save
     27💡 Tip: Even if you skip the token, the plugin still runs safely in automatic mode so you can try it right away.

    29 = How It Works =
     29= What the Plugin Does =
    3030
    31 The Get Hired Button adds TryMe's recruitment widget to your website, enabling candidates to quickly apply for positions. The widget appears on your site and connects to your TryMe account to manage applications.
     31The Get Hired Button brings TRY’s hiring widget to your WordPress site.
     32Visitors can chat, request proposals, book appointments, or hire you — directly from your own website.
     33No code required. No theme headaches. No performance issues.
    3234
    33 **Authentication Cascade:**
    34 1. If you provide a widget token, the button uses secure token authentication
    35 2. If no token is provided, it attempts to match your domain with your TryMe account
    36 3. If no match is found, it works in guest mode so you can test immediately
     35= How It Connects (Behind the Scenes) =
     36Everything is designed to “just work”:
     371. Token Mode (best) — If you paste in a token, we connect instantly and securely.
     382. Auto-Detect Mode — No token? We automatically try to match your site’s domain to your TRY account.
     393. Guest Mode — Not connected yet? The button still works so you can test it immediately.
