add_action('iwj_register_process', function($uid) {
    $user = IWJ_User::get_user($uid);
    //Process for employer field
    if ($user->is_employer() && isset($_POST['employer_custom_field']) && sanitize_text_field($_POST['employer_custom_field'])) {
        $employer = $user->get_employer();
        update_post_meta($employer->get_id(), 'employer_custom_field', sanitize_text_field($_POST['employer_custom_field']));
    }

    //Process for candidate
    if ($user->is_canđiate() && isset($_POST['candidate_custom_field']) && sanitize_text_field($_POST['candidate_custom_field'])) {
        $candidate= $user->get_candidate();
        update_post_meta($candidate->get_id(), 'candidate_custom_field', sanitize_text_field($_POST['candidate_custom_field']));
    }
}

Step 3: Add new extra field to employer profile on fileinjob-child\iwj\dashboard\profile\employer-form.php

Step 4: Process for save employer custom field on profile update function.

add_action('employer_update_profile', function($emp) {
    $custom_field = sanitize_text_field($_POST['employer_custom_field']);
    update_post_meta($emp->get_id(), 'employer_custom_field', $custom_field );
});

Step 5: Add new extra field  to employer profile in backend via filter iwj_employer_admin_fields on file functions.php

add_filter('iwj_employer_admin_fields', function($fields) {
    $fields['general']['fields'][] = array(
            'name' => __('New custom field', 'injob'),
            'id' => 'employer_custom_field',
            'type' => 'text',
            'required' => true,
        );
    return $fields;
}

Step 6: Process for admin save employer.

add_action('iwj_admin_save_employer', function($pid) {
    $custom_field = sanitize_text_field($_POST['employer_custom_field']);
    update_post_meta($pid, 'employer_custom_field', $custom_field );
});
