You can use add_shortcode and get_terms. add show_category to sidebar.
function show_category(){
$jobs_category = get_terms( array(
'taxonomy' => 'jobs-category',
'hide_empty' => false
) );
if ( !empty( $jobs_category ) ) {
$output = '<ul>';
foreach( $jobs_category as $category ) {
$output.= '<li>'. esc_attr( $category->name ) .'</li>';
}
$output.= '</ul>';
echo $output;
}
}
add_shortcode( 'show_category', 'show_category' );
