When a position is filled or no longer available, you should close or remove the posting so candidates don't apply to a role that's no longer open.
Closing vs. deleting
- Close: marks the position as no longer available. The posting is removed from the job board but kept in your dashboard history. You can reopen it later if the position becomes available again.
- Delete: permanently removes the posting from the system. It's gone from the job board and from your dashboard. This cannot be undone.
When in doubt, close rather than delete
Closing a posting keeps your history intact and makes it easy to reopen or duplicate the same role later. Only delete if you're sure you won't need it again.
How to close a job posting
Go to your Jobs dashboard
Sign in and navigate to your management dashboard, then click "Jobs" in the sidebar.
Find the posting
Locate the active job you want to close.
Click "Close"
Click the Close button next to the posting. You'll be asked to choose a reason: "Position filled", "Cancelled", or "Expired". The posting will be removed from the public job board immediately.
How to delete a job posting
Find the posting on your Jobs dashboard
The Delete button is available on any posting, whether it is active, closed, or expired.
Click "Delete"
Click the Delete button and confirm when prompted. The posting will be permanently removed.
Reopening a closed posting
If the position opens up again, click the "Reopen" button on any closed or expired posting. It will reappear on the job board with its original details and a fresh 60-day expiry, so there is no need to recreate it from scratch.
Automatic expiry
Job postings expire automatically after 60 days. Expired postings are removed from the job board but remain in your dashboard so you can reopen or duplicate them if needed.
