Every new Job starts in Briefing. It opens when work starts, and you close it as Filled or Lost when it ends.

​
Before you start

You can edit the Job: you own it, you manage its owner, or you’re an Owner or Admin. The owner is the Owner field in the Job’s Details. Changing the order of its Consultants doesn’t change who owns it. To hand the Job over, pick someone else in Owner.

​
Open a job

  • By hand. On a Job in Briefing, select Start recruiting at the top. Hire says “<Job> is open”.
  • On its own. Hire opens a Briefing Job when the first candidate moves past Long list, or when you first confirm its ideal candidate. Activity reads, for example, “Opened automatically: first candidate reached Short list”, with Undo. It happens once per Job.

​
Close or reopen a job

  1. Open the Job on its Overview tab.
  2. In Details, select Status.
  3. Pick Filled or Lost to close it, On hold to pause it, or Open to reopen it.
Closing a Job changes nothing on its applications. Placing a candidate doesn’t close the Job either, because a Job can have several openings.

​
Find a job by status

The Jobs page with the Live, All jobs, Closed, Filled, On hold and Briefing tabs, showing three open Jobs
  1. Live. Jobs in Briefing, Open or On hold. Jobs opens here.
  2. Closed. Jobs that are Filled or Lost.
All jobs lists every Job. Filled, On hold and Briefing show one status each.

​
Troubleshooting

  • The Status field doesn’t open. You can’t edit this Job. Ask its owner, their Manager or an Admin.
  • Applications still arrive on a closed Job. Its Application inbox stays on until you switch it off. The inbox warns “This job isn’t Open”. See How to post a job to job boards.
  • You want it gone, not closed. Select ⋯ › Archive job. An archived Job shows Restore.
