Description

Currently, when bulk editing job listings, it's not possible to assign Employers as authors due to WordPress, which by default only allows admins and editors to be assigned.

Research direction

The issue identifies bulk editing job listings in the WordPress admin panel as the entry point; start by tracing that flow and WordPress's author-assignment restrictions. Done means Employers can be assigned as authors during bulk edits, rather than being limited to admins and editors.
