# Spam Protection

If you want to reduce spam or automated bots, then you can automatically block them with WP Job Openings. WP Job Openings supports **reCAPTCHA** and **Akismet** which is very helpful for preventing spam. WP Job Openings PRO supports reCAPTCHA v3 also, which validates the user by a score based on the user actions on your site.

You can configure it from the settings:

* **Akismet:** WP Job Openings Settings -> Form -> General.

{% hint style="info" %}
The option to enable the Akismet anti-spam protection will only be shown when the Akismet plugin is active on your site.
{% endhint %}
