FAQ on Reopening Jobs

❓What happens after a job is reopened?

After reopening, the job initially remains in "Offline" status. To make it visible again and restart the recruitment process, you must manually republish the job postings. This gives you the opportunity to review and adjust the job details before publishing.

🔑 Who is allowed to reopen a job?

Reopening jobs is controlled by the "Reopen job" permission. This ensures that only authorized users can perform this action.

📊 Does reopening a job affect my reports?

No, reopening a job does not negatively impact your reports. However, there are a few important points to note:

  • The job history includes the archiving status, but this does not affect reporting.

  • The "Time-to-Closure" metric accounts for the time from the job's initial posting to its final closure, including any periods during which the job was closed.
