Job statuses: draft, publish, pause and close

What each job status means, how to change it, and what happens to candidates you've already invited.

PublishedOpen. You can create interviews for it.
PausedOn hold. No new interviews.
ClosedHiring is finished. No new interviews.
ArchivedKept for the record, out of the way.

The jobs list with six roles, each marked Published, Paused, Draft or Closed

Change a job's status

  • On the job's page, click the status badge and pick a new one.
  • On Jobs, select one or more rows and use Set status.
  • Or open Edit and change Status.

Any status can change to any other, so you can reopen a closed job.

Changing a job's status never touches invites you've already sent. Candidates can still record until their own deadline.
