Close Job

Closing a job refers to the action taken to mark a job posting as no longer available for new applications. This process is typically initiated once the position has been filled with a suitable candidate or if the job is no longer needed.

The main purpose of closing a job includes:

    • Closing a job informs candidates that the position is no longer available, managing expectations and preventing further applications.
    • Closing filled or unnecessary jobs streamlines workflow, allowing you to focus on active openings.
    • Job closure maintains accurate recruitment data and metrics, crucial for reporting, analytics, and decision-making.

    To navigate to the Close Job page, follow these steps:

    • Navigate to the main navigation header bar and click on Jobs.
    • Select a Job Workflow.
    • You can view all your job listings on the Job Landing page.
    • Click on the three-dot button and select Close Job.
