Storing and Reusing a Job Posting

Access level required: HR Admin / HR Editor

Have a job posting that will be used again in the future? Store it. Then when you need it, reuse it.

This is perfect for a common position that you are constantly hiring for, and that you don’t want to keep creating the same job posting for it, over and over again. Storing a job posting is as simple as turning it into a Draft, which removes it from the website, and then when you want to use it again, modify its dates and then change it from a Draft by Publishing it.

Storing a Job Posting for Future Use

  • In the WordPress dashboard click on Careers, then All Careers to access the list of your job postings
    • Hover over the job posting you want to store for future use
    • In the menu that appears, click Edit
    • Set the Job Status to Opened
  • In the far right sidebar, under Publish, edit where it says Status: Published and change it to Draft
  • The job posting is still listed with the other Published (active) jobs, but will have – Draft added to its name

Reusing a Job Posting

  • In the WordPress dashboard click on Careers, then All Careers to access the list of your job postings
  • Hover over the job posting you want to reuse, which will still be marked with – Draft
  • In the menu that appears, click Edit
  • In the Job’s Status settings
    • Set Status to Opened
    • Modify the Job Opens date to the you want the job to display on the website
    • Modify the Job Closes date to when the Application Form on the job should be removed
    • Modify the Job Expires date to when the job posting no longer displays on the website
  • In the far right sidebar under Publish
    • edit the Published on date, changing it to the current date
    • click the Publish button, which changes it from a draft and will now be displayed on the website
