How to Close, Archive, or Delete a Job Post

Once a position has been filled or is no longer accepting applications, you can manage the job posting directly from your Employer Dashboard.

Depending on your needs, you can:

  • Close a job
  • Archive a job
  • Delete a job

1. Go to Job Listings

From your Employer Dashboard:

  1. Click Job Listing from the left-hand navigation menu
  2. Open the job you want to manage

2. Open the Job Options Menu

On the job details page:

  1. Click the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner
  2. A dropdown menu will appear with available actions

You’ll see options such as:

  • Edit Job Details
  • Duplicate Job
  • Close Job
  • Delete Job

❌ Closing a Job Post

Selecting Close Job will:

  • Remove the job from public search results
  • Prevent new applications from being submitted
  • Mark the role as closed in your dashboard

Closed jobs remain accessible internally for reporting and applicant review.

📦 Archived Job Posts

Closed jobs are automatically archived within your Job Listings section.

Archived jobs:

  • Are no longer visible to job seekers
  • Keep all applicant history and activity
  • Can be duplicated or reused later

🗑️ Deleting a Job Post

You can permanently delete a job posting directly from the job options menu.

⚠️ A job can only be deleted if there are no active applications associated with the posting.

If candidates have already applied:

  • The job must first be closed or archived instead
  • Applicant records must remain available for compliance and tracking purposes

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Deleted jobs cannot be recovered
  • Closing or archiving a job does not remove applicant data
  • Only users with the appropriate permissions can delete jobs

💡 Best Practice

We recommend:

  • Closing jobs when hiring is complete
  • Archiving jobs for future reference
  • Deleting jobs only if they were created by mistake or are no longer needed and have no applicants attached
