Jobs active for more than 30 days are labeled Expiring to indicate reduced visibility — search engine rankings drop, and over time this leads to fewer applicants even when potential candidates are out there.
You can see all your expiring jobs under the Expiring tab on your jobs dashboard.
To maximize engagement we recommend closing expiring jobs and creating new postings with updated details. Refreshing the content helps maintain relevance and improves candidate interest.
Will closing one and opening a new one cost me another job credit?
No. Closing a listing frees the credit immediately, allowing you to create a fresh post at no extra cost.
How do I relaunch a job quickly?
Click on the job, click Close Job, then click Reopen Job on the same page. You'll be able to edit the details before opening it again — but since your job is old, this will create a new job in our system. Remember to refresh the content to keep it up to date.
Why can't I leave an expiring job open?
You can — but you might not get many candidates applying. We understand some companies prefer to leave jobs open like this.
Why does being open for more than 30 days lead to fewer candidates applying?
Candidates can see the date a job was posted and rarely apply to older jobs. Many job boards and search engines also make old job posts less visible on their platforms.
Does editing the original post reset the posted date?
No. Edits improve content accuracy but do not change the "posted on" date used by job boards and search engines.
What are the implications for employers who don't close or refresh their job listings after 30 days?
This will only affect the old jobs, not all your jobs.
