Job Postings Page Overview

The Job Postings page in Handshake highlights key information relevant to the job posting status to speed up your workflow. Statuses are broken down into tabs with search filters and table columns.

• Job Posting Side Sheet
• Search Filters
  • All Filters

Job Posting Status Tabs

Job postings are organised into five tabs based on possible statuses: Approved, In Progress, Pending, Declined, and Expired. 

For increased posting review and processing speed, the default status tab is the Pending tab, however, if you are on another tab and leave the page, then come back later, the tab you were on will reload. 

There are 50 Postings listed per page. Postings are displayed in a table with unique column headers per approval status to ensure the most high-impact information is readily available. For example, the count of saves is included on the Approved tab.

You can approve or decline postings from the table view in the Pending or In Progress tabs.

After approving 4 consecutive postings from the same company in the table view, Handshake will prompt you to enable auto-approve jobs for that employer. Intuitive Approvals may only be triggered from this table view (not from an individual posting itself).

For a breakdown of the approvals workflow, refer to Processing Job Posting Requests. 

When you select at least one job posting from a non-Expired tab, bulk actions will appear in the column headers row. For more information, check out How to Use Bulk Actions on Jobs.
