Editing or closing a job listing

Update a live job, extend its deadline, pause applications or close the listing once the role is filled, without losing your applicant history.

Editing a live listing

You can edit any part of a published job at any time. Changes usually appear on the site within five minutes.

  1. Sign in and go to Dashboard > Jobs.
  2. Find the listing and click the ⋯ menu on the right, then Edit.
  3. Make your changes. Common edits include:
    • updating the salary range after a budget change
    • adding a new interview step to the “How to apply” section
    • correcting the location or work arrangement
  4. Click Save changes.

Tip: If you change the title or location significantly, for example from “Remote” to “On-site in Berlin”, consider closing the old listing and posting a new one. Candidates who saved the original job may otherwise be confused.

Changes that need a review

Most edits go live straight away. A few changes are checked by our trust team first, to protect candidates from misleading listings:

Change Reviewed? Typical time
Description, tags, deadline No Instant
Salary amount No Instant
Salary currency Yes Under 2 hours
Apply link or email Yes Under 2 hours
Company name or logo Yes Up to 1 business day

While a change is under review, the previous version of the listing stays visible.

Extending the deadline

  1. Open the listing and click Edit.
  2. Under Application deadline, pick a new date.
    • The new deadline can be up to 90 days after the original posting date on Starter, or 120 days on Growth and Pro.
  3. Save your changes. Candidates with a saved copy of the job receive an update in their alerts.

Pausing applications

If you have enough candidates for now but don’t want to close the job, you can pause it.

  1. In Dashboard > Jobs, open the ⋯ menu and select Pause applications.
  2. Choose whether to keep the listing visible with a “Not accepting applications” label, or hide it completely.

Paused jobs still count toward your active listing limit. You can resume them at any time.

Closing a job

Close a listing when the role is filled or cancelled.

  1. Open the ⋯ menu and click Close job.
  2. Select a reason. This is only used for your own reports and is never shown publicly.
  3. Decide whether to send a closing message to open applicants. The default message is short and polite, and you can edit it before sending.
  4. Click Confirm.

Closed jobs show a “Closed” label for 7 days and are then removed from the jobs page. If you need to post a similar role later, use Duplicate from the same menu so you don’t have to start from scratch. New to posting? Start with Posting your first job.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will editing a listing reset its position in search results?

    No. Edits keep the original posting date. Only reposting a closed job creates a new date, and that counts as a new listing on your plan.

  • What happens to applicants when I close a job?

    Their applications stay in your dashboard for 12 months. Candidates who have not received a decision get an automatic message that the role is closed, unless you turn that off.

  • Can I reopen a closed job?

    Yes, within 30 days of closing it. After 30 days you need to repost it, which uses one listing credit.

  • Why is my edited listing marked as Under review?

    Changes to the company name, the apply link or the salary currency trigger a quick manual check. Most reviews finish within 2 business hours.
