Updating Job Posting Closing Dates

Jennifer
  • Updated

You can update the closing date of an active job posting or renew an eligible closed posting. The options available depend on your account type.

Note: A job’s close date must be within one year of its original open date. Job postings close at 11:59 PM in your time zone on the selected close date.

 

Who can update closing dates

Your ability to update a closing date depends on your account type and whether you created the job:

  • Basic employers: You can update the closing date only for jobs you created. Jobs created by teammates are view-only. To update jobs created by teammates, upgrade to an eligible paid plan.
  • On-campus employers and Pro, Essentials, and Enterprise customers: With the appropriate permissions, all users except Representatives can update their own job postings and postings created by teammates.

 

Update the closing date of an active job

1. Click Jobs from the left navigation bar, then select the job you want to update.

4. Choose an option based on your account type:

  • Basic employers: Select 15 days or 30 days to update the application window. The Custom option is available only when the job is promoted or you upgrade to an eligible paid plan.
  • On-campus employers and Pro, Essentials, and Enterprise customers: Select 30 days to extend the application window by 30 days, or select Custom to choose a specific close date.
    • To use a custom date, click the calendar icon in the Close date field, select a date, then click Apply.

5. Click Save in the upper-right corner. The job posting will update with the new close date.

If the job was previously approved, changing its application dates returns the posting to Pending. The schools where the job was posted must approve it again. Learn more in Understanding Job Posting Approvals.

Renew a closed job posting 

A closed posting can be renewed when both of the following conditions are met:

  • The job closed within the last 30 days.
  • Less than one year has passed since the job’s original open date.

If the posting does not meet these conditions, duplicate it to create a new job. Learn How to Duplicate a Job Posting.

 

 

To renew a closed posting:

1. Click Jobs from the left navigation bar.

2. Use the Status filter to select Closed, then select the job you want to renew.
