How Can I Create a Job Posting That Isn’t Published, Yet Still Allows Me to Import Applications for It?

This help article explains how to create a job in the system without publishing it, allowing you to still import applications or make it visible later.

Sometimes it makes sense to create a job in the system without publishing it immediately—for example, if applications are to be entered manually or collected internally first.


Step-by-step instructions

1. Create job

  • Go to “Jobs” in the left menu.

  • Click on the blue “Create job” button at the top right and follow the creation process to the fourth step.

2. Create without publishing

  • In the fourth step, click on the three dots next to the blue “Continue to publication” button.

  • Select the “Create without publishing” option.

3. Job is created but not visible

  • This saves the job in the system, but does not bring it online.

  • This means: Applicants will not see the job on your career site or external portals.

4. Import applications or publish them later

  • You can manually upload applications for this job at any time (e.g. using the “Add Application” function).

  • If desired, you can publish the job later and make it visible using the blue “Publish” button.


Notes

  • Jobs without publication are only visible internally and are primarily used for administration or for importing applications.

  • A publication can be made at any time later - no new job is necessary.

  • Make sure the job data (title, location, description) is maintained correctly, even if the job is not initially published. This makes later publication or internal allocation easier.
