functions.php

<?php


add_filter( 'submit_job_post_status', 'smyles_set_job_post_status_by_user_role', 10, 2 );
/**
 * Automatically set Job post status based on current user's role
 *
 * @param $status
 * @param $job
 *
 * @return string
 */
function smyles_set_job_post_status_by_user_role( $status, $job ) {

	if ( ! $user = wp_get_current_user() ) {
		return $status;
	}
	
	// Replace 'administrator' with any custom or other default role to check against
	if ( in_array( 'administrator', (array) $user->roles ) ) {
		return 'publish';
	}

	// Return passed status
	return $status;
}
