Updating Job Posting Closing Dates

Jennifer
  • Updated

Use this resource to renew or extend your job postings and continue connecting with top talent.

Setting clear application open and close dates helps you manage postings efficiently, ensures candidates see the most up-to-date opportunities, and prevents applications for roles that are no longer available.

  • Application open and close dates must be within one year of each other.

  • Jobs can only be renewed if less than one year has passed since the original open date.

Renew a closed job posting

If a job was closed more than 30 days ago, it can only be duplicated. Learn How to Duplicate a Job Posting.
